Braun ThermoScan 3 - Hygienic Lens Filters; Temperature Taking Hints

7
Disposable lens filters
Use a clean disposable hygienic lens lter with each
measurement:
1. To ensure hygienic use
2. To protect your child from cross-contamination
3. To ensure earwax residues do not impact accuracy of the
reading.
Earwax and dirt on the tip of the disposable lens lter, even in
microscopic layer, can create an obstacle between the sensor
and the infrared heat emitted by the ear and impact the
accuracy of the measurement.
Temperature taking hints
• Replace the disposable lens lter with every use to
maintain hygiene and accuracy.
• A measurement taken in the right ear may dier 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 inuence ear temperatures, 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.
