This thermometer is intended for household use only.
Use of this thermometer is not intended as a substitute for
consultation with your physician. The ThermoScan® Ear
thermometer is not intended to interpret hypothermic
temperatures.
This thermometer must stay in stable ambient (room)
temperature for 30 minutes before operating.
Audio fever indicator
Thermometer will signal by beeps normal temperature, fever
or high fever.
Temperature reading Number of beeps

Fever (≥ 37.5 °C or 99.5 °F) Two beeps, repeated: )) )) ))
High fever (≥ 38.6 °C or 101.5 °F) Four beeps, repeated: )))) )))) ))))
Body temperature
Normal body temperature is a range. It varies by site of
measurement and it tends to decrease with age. It also varies from
person to person and uctuates throughout the day. Therefore, it
is important to determine normal temperature ranges.
How to use your Braun ThermoScan®
Before taking the temperature, make sure the ear is free from
obstructions or excess earwax.
Do not attempt to take the reading without a disposable
Hygiene cap on – the measuring sensor must be kept
protected and clean from earwax to give accurate readings.
Change the disposable Hygiene cap with each use to ensure
hygiene, to keep a child safe from cross-contamination and to
ensure earwax residues on the disposable Hygiene cap do not
impact accuracy of the reading.
1. To turn the thermometer on, push the «start» button
(4).
During an internal self-check, the display
shows all segments.
The reading shown on the screen is the
last temperature taken.
Flashing symbol of Hygiene cap will
appear if no Hygiene cap is attached.
Temperature can be taken only if Hygiene
cap is mounted on the probe.
The thermometer is ready to use after two
beeps are sounded and the non-ashing
ear icon appears.
2. In clinical studies, precision and accuracy
of ear thermometer measurement has
been shown to be inuenced by variability
in user technique. Correct probe placement
is essential for accurate measurements.
Place the ear probe snugly in ear canal and
direct towards opposite temple, then push
the “start” button (4).
Keep the thermometer steady in the ear
canal.
Temperature in right and left ear diers,
always compare measurements from the same ear. The
natural physiological dierence may reach 0.2 °C. In the
absence of confounding factors, in high-risk population
(like infants or immunodepressed people) use the highest
of the two to interpret the patient’s condition.
One beep signals normal temperature. Audio fever
indicator will trigger 2 consecutive beeps when the reading
is equal or higher to 37.5 °C (99.5 °F) and 4 beeps if the
reading is equal or higher to 38.6 °C (101.5 °F). The result is
shown on the display (7).
