The Braun ThermoScan thermometer has been carefully developed
for accurate, safe and fast human body temperature measurements
in the ear. The shape of the thermometer prevents it from being
inserted too far into the ear canal to damage the eardrum.
However, as with any thermometer, proper technique is critical
to obtaining accurate temperatures. Therefore, please read all
instructions carefully and thoroughly before using this product.
Important
ø
Do not expose the thermometer to temperature extremes
(below –20ºC/4ºF or over 50ºC/122ºF) nor excessive
humidity (>95% RH).
ø
The probe window must be kept clean, dry, and undamaged
at all times to ensure accurate readings. To protect the probe
window, always keep the thermometer in the storage cover
while transporting or when not in use.
ø
This thermometer must only be used with genuine Braun
ThermoScan probe covers.
ø
To avoid inaccurate readings, always attach a new, clean
probe cover for each temperature reading.
How does Braun ThermoScan work?
Braun ThermoScan measures the infrared heat generated
by the eardrum and surrounding tissue. To help ensure accuracy,
the thermometer «scans» by taking 8 measurements in just one
second and displaying the highest temperature.
The displayed ThermoScan temperature is the actual measured ear
canal temperature plus a mathematical adjustment to approximate
the familiar oral range. However, this is not necessarily the same as
an oral temperature measured at the same time.
Why measure in the ear?
Clinical studies have shown that the ear is an excellent site for
temperature measurement because temperatures taken in the ear
reflect the body’s core temperature. Body temperature is regulated
by the hypothalamus, which shares the same blood supply as
the tympanic membrane. Changes in core body temperature, are
usually seen sooner at the tympanic membrane than at other sites,
such as the rectum, mouth or under the arm.
