Please consult your doctor if exibiting symptoms such as unexplained irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration,
changes in appetite or activity, seizure, muscle pain, shivering, stiff neck, pain when urinating, etc. in spite of absence
of fever.
Please consult your doctor if the thermometer shows elevated temperature.
The operating ambient temperature range for this thermometer is 50 – 104 °F (10 – 40 °C).
Do not expose the thermometer to temperature extremes (below –13 °F / –25 °C or over 131 °F / 55 °C) or excessive
humidity (> 95 % RH). This thermometer must only be used with genuine Braun ThermoScan lens filters (LF 40).
To avoid inaccurate measurements always use this thermometer with a new, clean lens filter attached.
If the thermometer is accidentally used without a lens filter attached, clean the lens (see «Care and cleaning» section). 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.
This thermometer is not intended for pre-term babies or small-for-gestational age babies.
It is not intended to interpret hypothermic temperatures. Do not allow children under 12 years to take their temperature
unattended.
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.
People 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 neonates and infants, or in adults who are old, frail, or have
a weakened immune system. 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 99.4 °F or 37.4
°C).
Patients over 60 years of age (Fever may be blunted or absent in older patients).
Patients having diabetes mellitus or a weakened immune system (e.g., HIV positive, cancer chemotherapy, chronic
steroid treatment, splenectomy)
Patients who are bedridden (e.g., nursing home patient, stroke, chronic illness, recovering from surgery)
A transplant patient (e.g., liver, heart, lung, kidney).
This thermometer contains small parts that can be swallowed or produce a choking hazard to children.
Keep out of reach of children under 12 years.
Body temperature
Normal body temperature is a range. It varies by site of measurement, and it tends to decrease with age. It also varies from
person to person and fluctuates throughout the day.
Therefore, it is important to determine normal temperature ranges. This is easily done using Braun ThermoScan. Practice
taking temperatures on yourself and healthy family members to determine the normal temperature range.
Note: When consulting your physician, communicate that the ThermoScan temperature is a temperature measured in the
ear and if possible, note the individual’s normal ThermoScan temperature range as additional reference.
