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 .

Normal temperature ranges of different sites in the body:
Axillary
1
:
34 .7 – 37 .3 °C
Oral
1
:
35 .5 – 37 .5 °C
Rectal
1
:
36 .6 – 38 .0 °C
ThermoScan
2
:
35 .8 – 38 .0 °C
•
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
3 – 10 years
36 .1 – 37 .8 °C
11 – 65 years
35 .9 – 37 .6 °C
> 65 years
35 .8 – 37 .5 °C
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 temperatures on
yourself and healthy family members to determine your normal
temperature ranges .
Note: When consulting your physician, communicate 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 .
