Braun ThermoScan PRO 6000 - Cleaning the Probe Tip

3.0 Frequency of calibration check
In general, the accuracy for the PRO 6000 unit should be checked any time you suspect the unit is not
reading correctly.
Some countries, e.g. Germany, have regulations requiring a regular check of the measuring accuracy for all medical
devices used by professionals.
For infrared thermometers, this check must be done yearly and it is required to verify the measuring
accuracy for the full temperature range. This implies that the thermometer will be tested at 3 different
temperatures and the results will be documented via test protocol.
The Welch Allyn 9600 Plus Calibration Tester meets this requirement by testing the accuracy at low, mid, and high
points of the temperature range. See the 9600 Plus Calibration Tester user’s manual for information on testing the
Braun PRO 6000.

5.0 Changing the calibration set point temperature
Verify the Welch Allyn 9600 Plus Calibration Tester(s) used to perform this check has been calibrated in
the last 12 months.
Follow the procedure described in the 9600 Plus Calibration Tester manual to setup the 9600 plus.
To expedite testing, the following practices are recommended:
• Use three testers set each to different set point to eliminate wait time for the tester to heat to the next set point.
• When using only one tester to test several thermometers at all three temperatures, test all thermometers at one
set point before proceeding to the next set point.
• When using only one tester start at the lowest set point to eliminate waiting for the tester to cool, because the
tester does not have an internal fan, it requires more time to cool down than to heat up.
To scroll from one set point to the next, press and hold the temperature selection button until a beep sounds.
