Temperature taking hints
•
The right ear measurement 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.
•
Use the untreated ear if ear drops or other ear
medications have been placed in the ear canal.
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 ever
accidentally 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.
After the probe tip has completely dried, you can
put a new lens filter on and take a temperature
measurement. If the probe tip is damaged, contact
Kaz.
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the thermometer
display and exterior. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Never submerge this thermometer in water or any
other liquid.
Store 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 carrying Braun ThermoScan.
