Braun ThermoScan PRO 3000 User Manual

English
The Braun ThermoScan thermometer has been carefully developed
for accurate, safe and fast human body temperature measurements
in the ear. The shape of the thermometer prevents it from being
inserted too far into the ear canai to damage the eardrum.
However, as with any thermometer, proper technique is critical
to obtaining accurate temperatures. Therefore, piease read all
instructions carefully and thoroughly before using this product.

window, always keep the thermometer in the storage cover
while transporting or when not in use.

e To avoid inaccurate readings, always attach a new, clean
probe cover for each temperature reading,
e Always store the thermometer with a probe cover in place.
How does Braun ThermoScan work?
The Braun ThermoScan thermometer measures the infrared heat
generated by the eardrum and surrounding tissue. To help ensure
accuracy, the thermometer “scans” by taking 8 measurements in
just one second and displaying the highest temperature.
The displayed ThermoScan temperature is the actual measured ear
canal temperature plus a mathematical adjustment to approximate
the familiar oral range. However, this is not necessarily the sarne as
an oral temperature measured at the same time.
Why measure in the ear?
Clinical studies have shown that the ear is an excellent site for
temperature measurement because temperatures taken in the ear
reflect the body’s core temperature. Body temperature is regulated
by the hypothalamus, which shares the same blood supply as
the tympanic membrane. Changes in core body temperature, are
usually seen sooner at the tympanic membrane than at other sites,
such as the rectum, mouth or under the arm.
