The BraunThermoScan® Ear 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.

Indications for use / Intended use

The BraunThermoScan® 4 Ear thermometer is intended for the

intermittent measurement of human body temperature by consumers

of all ages in a home use environment.

The hygienic lens lter is used as a sanitary barrier between the

thermometer and the ear canal.

Warnings and precautions

Keep out of reach of children under 12 years.

NEVER use the thermometer for purposes other than those for which

it has been intended. Please follow the general safety precautions

when using on children.

NEVER immerse the thermometer into water or other liquids (not

waterproof). For cleaning and disinfecting please follow the

instructions in the “Care and cleaning”section.

DO NOT store this thermometer in temperature extremes below -25 °C

or over 55 °C (-13 °F or over 131 °F) or in excessive humidity (above 95%

non-condensing relative humidity).

If thermometer is stored in a location that is cooler or warmer than

where it will be used, allow it to acclimate to the room temperature for

10 minutes before taking a measurement.

DO NOT use the thermometer if there are signs of damage on the

probe or on the thermometer itself. If damaged, DO NOT attempt to

repair the product.

NEVER insert a sharp object into the probe area or any other open

surface on the thermometer.

This thermometer consists of high-quality precision parts. DO NOT

drop the instrument. Protect it from severe impact and shock.

This thermometer must only be used with genuine Braun

ThermoScan® disposable lens lters (LF40CA). Other lens lters can

lead to inaccuracy.

DO NOT modify the equipment without the manufacturer’s

authorization.

English

To avoid inaccurate measurements ALWAYS use this thermometer

with a new, clean, hygienic lens lter attached.

If the thermometer is accidentally used without a hygienic lens lter

attached, clean the lens after use (see“Care and cleaning”).

Keep disposable lens lters 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.

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 a temperature elevation occurs on persons

that are:

• Neonates and infants under 3 months (Consult your physician

immediately if the temperature exceeds 37.4 °C [99.4 °F])

• Individuals over 60 years of age (Fever may be blunted or absent in

older 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., nursing home patient, stroke,

chronic illness, paraplegia, quadriplegia,

surgical recovery)

• A transplant recipient (e.g., liver, heart, lung, kidney)

This thermometer is not intended for pre-term babies or small-for-

gestational age newborn babies (birth to 4 weeks of age). Pre-term is

dened as babies born before 37 weeks of gestation. Small-for-

gestational-age is dened as a newborn baby, born at 37 weeks or

later, with a weight below the 10th percentile for newborn babies of

the same gestational age.

This thermometer is not intended to interpret hypothermic

temperatures. If the device displays a temperature of 36.4°C (97.5°F) or

less with an LED backlight colour of green or white, and the individual

is exhibiting atypical symptoms or behaviors, contact your physician

or health care professional.

DO NOT allow children under 12 years to take their temperature

unattended.

Please consult your physician if you see symptoms such as

unexplained irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, changes in

appetite or activity, seizure, muscle pain, shivering, sti neck, pain

when urinating, etc., even in the absence of fever.

Even in the absence of fever, those who exhibit a normal 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.

English

Colour-coded fever guidance

Colour-coded fever guidance helps you to better understand the

meaning of your child’s temperature with the colour indicated on the

display.The colour-coded screen displays GREEN for a normal

temperature,YELLOW for a fever, and RED for a high fever.

Colour range Reading Meaning

Green >35.7 °C - 37.4 °C

(>96.3 °F - 99.4 °F) Normal

Yellow >37.4 °C - 38.5 °C

(>99.4 °F - 101.3 °F) Fever

Red >38.5 °C

(>101.3 °F) High Fever

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 uctuates throughout the day.Therefore, it is important to

determine normal temperature ranges.

How to use your BraunThermoScan®

Before taking the temperature, make sure the ear is free from

obstructions or excess earwax.

DO NOT attempt to take the reading without a hygienic lens lter on

– the measuring sensor must be kept protected and clean from

earwax to give accurate readings.

Change the hygienic lens lter with each use to ensure hygiene,

to keep child safe from cross-contamination and to ensure earwax

residues on the hygienic lens lter do not impact accuracy of

the reading.

1. To turn the thermometer on, push the“start”

button (4) as shown on page 1.

During an internal self-check, the display shows

all segments.

The reading shown on the screen is the last

temperature taken.

Flashing symbol of lens lter will appear if no

lens lter is attached.Temperature can be taken

only if lens lter is mounted on the probe.

The thermometer is ready to use after two beeps

and the non-ashing ear icon appears.

2. Fit the probe (3) snugly into the ear canal, then

push the “start” button (4).

One beep signals normal temperature. Audio

temperature indicator will trigger 2 consecutive

beeps when the reading is equal or higher to 37.5 °C

(99.5 °F) and 4 beeps if the reading is equal or higher

to 38.6 °C (101.4 °F).The result is shown on the

display (7).

3. Gently pull o the hygienic lens lter (2).

Do not use force in removing the hygienic lens

lter.

4. Attach a new hygienic lens lter by pushing the

thermometer probe straight into the hygienic

lens lter inside the box and then pulling out.

5. Place the protective cap on (1).

The BraunThermoScan® 4 Ear thermometer turns o

automatically after 60 seconds of inactivity.The

thermometer can be turned o by pressing and

holding the start button for more than 5 seconds.

English

Hygienic lens lters (LF40CA)

Use a clean 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 hygienic lens lter, even a

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 hygienic 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

– been recently swimming or bathing, or

– been wearing hearing aids or headphones for an extended

period of time

In these cases, remove the individual from the situation and wait 20

minutes prior to taking a temperature.

• If ear drops or other ear medications have been placed in the ear

canal of one ear, take the temperature in the untreated ear.

• Nursing mothers should not take a temperature measurement on

themselves or have their temperature measured by another

individual while or immediately after nursing a baby, as nursing

can aect body temperature.

Care and cleaning

The probe tip (5) is the most delicate part of the thermometer. It has to

be clean and intact to ensure accurate readings.

If the thermometer is accidentally used without a hygienic lens lter,

clean the probe tip as follows:

Very gently wipe the surface with a cotton swab or

soft cloth moistened with alcohol.

DO NOT use cleaners other than alcohol on the

probe tip. Use of other cleaners could damage

the tip.

Once the alcohol has dried completely, a new hygienic lens lter can

be put on and a temperature measurement taken. If the probe tip is

damaged, please contact Consumer Relations.

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the thermometer display and product

exterior. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners. NEVER submerge this

thermometer in water or any other liquid.

Store the thermometer and hygienic lens lters in a dry location free

from dust and contamination and away from direct sunlight.

Additional hygienic lens lters (LF40CA) are available at major

retailers.
