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 instructions carefully and thoroughly.
The Braun ThermoScan
®
thermometer is indicated for intermittent measurement and monitoring
of human body temperature for people of all ages. It is intended for household use only.

any colour of the background light or absence of fever.
The operating ambient temperature range for this thermometer is
10 – 40 °C (50 – 104 °F)

expose the thermometer to temperature extremes
(below –25 °C / –13 °F or over 55 °C / 131 °F)

This thermometer is intended for household use only. This product is not intended to diagnose any
disease, but is a useful screening tool for temperature. Use of this thermometer is not intended as
a substitute for consultation with your physician.
Do not modify this equipment without authorization of the manufacturer.
Parents/guardians should call the pediatrician upon noticing any unusual sign(s) or symptom(s).
For example, a child who exhibits irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, seizure, changes in
appetite or activity, even in the absence of fever, or who exhibits a low temperature, may still need
to receive medical attention.
Children who are on antibiotics, analgesics, or antipyretics should not be assessed solely on
temperature readings to determine the severity of their illness.
Temperature elevation may signal a serious illness, especially in adults who are old, frail, have a
weakened immune system, or neonates and infants. Please seek professional advice immediately
when there is a temperature elevation and if you are taking temperature on:
• Neonates and infants under 3 months (consult your physician immediately if the temperature
exceeds 37.4 °C or 99.4 °F)
• Individuals over 60 years of age (Fever may be blunted or even absent in elderly individuals.)
• Individuals having diabetes mellitus or a weakened immune system (e.g. HIV positive, cancer
chemotherapy, chronic immunosuppressant treatment, splenectomy)
• Individuals who are bedridden (e.g. stroke, chronic illness, paraplegia, quadriplegia, recovering
from surgery)
• A transplant recipient (e.g. liver, heart, lung, kidney)
This thermometer contains small parts that can be swallowed or produce a choking hazard to
children. Always keep the thermometer out of children’s reach.
