The Braun ThermoScan thermometer has been
carefully developed for accurate, safe and fast
temperature measurements in the ear. The shape
of the thermometer probe prevents it from being
inserted too far into the ear canal which can hurt
the eardrum.
However, as with any thermometer,
proper technique is critical to
obtaining accurate temperatures.
Therefore, read the use instructions
carefully and thoroughly.
Important
• The operating ambient temperature range for
this thermometer is 10 – 40 °C (50 – 104 °F).
• Do not expose the thermometer to temperature
extremes (below –20 °C / –4 °F or over 50 °C /
122 °F) or excessive humidity (> 95 % RH).
• This thermometer must only be used with
genuine Braun ThermoScan Lens Filters. Other
lens filters can lead to inaccuracy.
• To avoid inaccurate measurements always use
this thermometer with a new, clean lens filter.
• If the thermometer is accidentally used without
a lens filter, clean the lens after use (see «Care
and cleaning»).
• Keep lens filters out of reach of children.
• This thermometer is intended for household
use only.
• Use of this thermometer is not intended as a
substitute for consultation with your physician.
Body temperature
Normal body temperature is a range. The following
table shows that this normal range also varies by
site. Therefore, measurements from different sites
should not be directly compared.
• A person’s normal temperature range tends to
decrease with age. The following table shows
normal ThermoScan ranges by age.
Everyone has their own normal temperature range,
and this range also varies throughout the day. It is
easy to determine normal temperature range using
the Braun ThermoScan. Practice taking tempera-
tures on yourself and healthy family members to
determine your normal temperature ranges.
Note: When consulting your physician, com-
municate that the ThermoScan temperature is a
temperature measured in the ear and if possible,
quote the individual’s normal ThermoScan
temperature range as an additional reference.
