Temperature taking hints
• A measurement taken in the right ear may differ
from the measurement taken in the left ear.
Therefore, always take the temperature in the
same ear.
• The ear must be free from obstructions or
excess earwax build-up to take an accurate
reading.
• External factors may influence ear tempera-
tures, including when an individual has:
– been lying on one ear or the other
– had their ears covered
– been exposed to very hot or very cold
temperatures, or
– been recently swimming or bathing.
In these cases, remove the individual from the
situation and wait 20 minutes prior to taking a
temperature.
• If ear drops or other ear medications have been
placed in the ear canal of one ear, take the
temperature in the untreated ear.
Care and cleaning
The probe tip is the most delicate part of the
thermometer. It has to be clean and intact to
ensure accurate readings.
If the thermometer is acciden-
tally used without a lens filter,
clean the probe tip as follows:
Very gently wipe the surface
with a cotton swab or soft cloth
moistened with alcohol.
Once the alcohol has dried completely, a new lens
filter can be put on and a temperature measure-
ment taken. If the probe tip is damaged, contact
Braun.
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the thermometer
display and product exterior. Do not use abrasive
cleaners. Never submerge this thermometer in
water or any other liquid.
Store the thermometer and lens filters in a dry
location free from dust and contamination and
away from direct sunlight.
Additional lens filters (LF 40) are available at most
stores selling Braun ThermoScan.
