4 5

The Braun ThermoScan thermometer has been carefully developed

for accurate, safe and fast temperature measurements in the ear.

The shape of the thermometer prevents it from being inserted too far

into the ear canal to 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) nor excessive humidity

(> 95 % RH).

• This thermometer must only be used with genuine Braun

ThermoScan Lens Filters (LF 40). Never use this thermometer

without a new, clean lens filter attached.

• 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.

How does Braun ThermoScan work?

Braun ThermoScan measures the infrared heat generated by the

eardrum and surrounding tissues. To avoid gross temperature dif-

ferences, the sensor itself is brought to a temperature close to that of

the human body. When the Braun ThermoScan is placed in the ear,

it continuously monitors the infrared radiation. The measurement will

be finished and the result is displayed, when an accurate reading can

be assured.

Why measure in the ear?

The goal of thermometry is to measure core body temperature which is

the temperature of the vital organs. Ear temperatures accurately reflect

core body temperature, since the eardrum shares blood supply with

the temperature control center in the brain, the hypothalamus.

Therefore, changes in body temperature are reflected sooner and more

accurately in the ear than at other sites.

• Axillary temperatures only measure skin temperature and therefore,

are not a reliable indicator of core body temperature.

• Oral temperatures are influenced by drinking, eating and breathing.

• Rectal temperatures lag behind changes in core body temperature

and there is a risk of cross-contamination.

Body temperature

Normal body temperature is a range. The following table shows

that this normal range also varies by site. Therefore, readings from

different sites should not be directly compared.

Normal ranges by site:

Axillary: 34.7 – 37.3 °C 94.5 – 99.1 °F

Oral: 35.5 – 37.5 °C 95.9 – 99.5 °F

Rectal: 36.6 – 38.0 °C 97.9 – 100.4 °F

ThermoScan: 35.8 – 38.0 °C 96.4 – 100.4 °F

• As well, a person’s normal temperature range tends to decrease with

age. The following table shows normal ThermoScan ranges by age.

Normal ThermoScan ranges by age:

0 – 2 years 36.4 – 38.0 °C 97.5 – 100.4 °F

3 – 10 years 36.1 – 37.8 °C 97.0 – 100.0 °F

11 – 65 years 35.9 – 37.6 °C 96.6 – 99.7 °F

> 65 years 35.8 – 37.5 °C 96.4 – 99.5 °F

However, the range of normal also varies from person to person

and fluctuates throughout the day. It is therefore important to deter-

mine your normal temperature range. This is easily done using Braun

ThermoScan. Practice taking temperatures on yourself and healthy

family members to determine their normal temperature ranges.

Note: When consulting your physician, communicate that the

ThermoScan temperature is a temperature measured in the ear and

if possible, note the individual’s normal ThermoScan temperature

range as additional reference.
