The Braun ThermoScan
®
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.
The Braun ThermoScan thermometer is intended for intermittent measurement and monitoring of human
body temperature for people of all ages. It is intended for household use only.
Use of this thermometer is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your physician.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
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.
4
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.
How does Braun ThermoScan work?
Braun ThermoScan measures the infrared heat generated by the eardrum and
surrounding tissues. To help avoid inaccurate temperature measurements, the probe
tip is warmed to a temperature close to that of the human body. When the Braun
ThermoScan is placed in the ear, it continuously monitors the infrared energy. The
measurement is finished and the result displayed when the thermometer detects
that an accurate temperature measurement has been taken. The displayed result is
calibrated to deliver an oral equivalent temperature reading.
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.
Why measure in the ear?
The goal of thermometry is to measure core body temperature
1
which is the
temperature of the vital organs. Ear temperatures accurately reflect core body
temperature
2
, since the eardrum shares blood supply with the temperature control
center in the brain
3
, the hypothalamus. Therefore, changes in body temperature
are reflected sooner in the ear than at other sites. Axillary temperatures measure
skin temperature and may not be a reliable indicator of core body temperature.
Oral temperatures are influenced by drinking, eating and mouth breathing. Rectal
temperatures often lag behind changes in core body temperature and there is a
risk of cross-contamination.

The lens filter indicator will
blink to signal one is needed.
To achieve accurate
measurements, make sure a
new, clean lens filter is in place
before each measurement.
Attach a new lens filter by
pushing the thermometer probe straight into the lens filter inside the box and then pulling out.
Note: The Braun ThermoScan will not work unless a lens filter is attached.
The thermometer is ready to take a temperature when the display looks like the images below.

Le thermomètre Braun ThermoScan a été soigneusement mis au point pour mesurer la température avec
précision, sûrement et rapidement dans l’oreille.
La forme de la sonde empêche d’insérer le thermomètre trop profondément dans le conduit auditif, ce qui
pourrait endommager la membrane du tympan.
Comme c’est le cas pour tout thermomètre, il est toutefois primordial d’employer une méthode appropriée
pour obtenir les températures exactes. Nous vous prions donc de lire attentivement et d’assimiler toutes
les instructions du mode d’emploi.
Le thermomètre Braun ThermoScan est destiné à mesurer la température corporelle et son évolution,
lorsqu’il y a lieu, des personnes de tous les âges. Il est uniquement réservé à l’usage domestique.
Employer ce thermomètre ne remplace aucunement la consultation du médecin.

MISES EN GARDE ET PRÉCAUTIONS
Même en l’absence de fièvre, consultez le médecin en cas de symptômes
inattendus tels irritabilité, vomissement, diarrhée, déshydration, perte d’appétit
ou de l’inactivité, convulsions, douleurs musculaires, tremblement, raideur du
cou, mictions douloureuses, et autres.
Consultez aussi le médecin si le thermomètre indique une poussée de fièvre.
La plage de température d’utilisation de ce thermomètre s’étend de 10 à 40 °C (50 à 104 °F).
N’exposez pas le thermomère à des températures extrêmes (inférieures à –25 °C / –13 °F ou supérieures
à 55 °C / 131 °F) ou bien à une humidité excessive (plus de 95 %). Ce thermomètre ne doit être utilisé
qu’avec les filtres de lentille Braun ThermoScan authentiques (LF 40).
Pour éviter les mesures imprécises, employez toujours le thermomètre pourvu d’un filtre de lentille neuf.
Si le thermomètre est incidemment utilisé sans filtre de lentille, nettoyez la lentille (voyez la rubrique
« Soins et entretien »). Gardez les filtres de lentille hors de la portée des enfants.
Ce thermomètre est uniquement réservé à l’usage domestique. Son emploi ne remplace aucunement la
consultation du médecin.
Ce thermomètre ne convient pas aux bébés prématurés ou aux bébés physiquement très petits
relativement à leur âge gestationnel. Il n’interprète pas les températures hypothermiques. Ne permettez
pas aux enfants de moins de 12 ans de prendre leur température sans surveillance.
Ne modifiez pas l’appareil sans l’autorisation du fabricant.
16
Même si la température se révèle normale ou peu élevée, les parents ou tuteurs doivent toujours consulter
un pédiatre s’ils remarquent un ou plusieurs indices ou symptômes inattendus – irritabilité, vomissement,
diarrhée, déshydratation, perte d’appétit ou de l’inactivité, par exemple – l’enfant peut avoir besoin de
soins médicaux.
Chez les personnes qui prennent des antibiotiques, analgésiques ou antipyrétiques, la gravité de la
maladie ne devrait pas être évaluée uniquement en fonction des relevés de température.
L’élévation de la température peut signaler une maladie grave, notamment chez les nouveau-nés et les
enfants en bas âge ou bien chez les personnes âgées fragiles, dont le système immunitaire est affaibli.
Consultez le médecin sans délai en cas de poussée de fièvre ou lors d’une prise de température dans les
cas suivants:
• nouveau-né ou nourrisson de moins de 3 mois. Consultez immédiatement le médecin si la température
dépasse 37,4 °C ou 99,4 °F;
• personnes de plus de 60 ans. La fièvre peut être émoussée ou absente chez les patients âgés;
• personnes atteintes de diabète sucré ou immunodéprimés (séropositif pour le VIH, chimiothérapie
anticancéreuse, traitement stéroïdien ou splénectomie, par exemple);
• personnes alitées (des centres d’hébergement et de soins de longue durée, de traitement pour accidents
vasculaires cérébraux, maladies chroniques, convalescence postopératoire, par exemple); et enfin
• greffés (foie, cœur, poumon, rein, par exemple).
Ce thermomètre comprend des petites pièces qui peuvent être avalées ou provoquer un risque de
suffocation chez les enfants. Gardez toujours le thermomètre hors de la portée des enfants de moins
de 12 ans.
Comment le Braun ThermoScan fonctionne-t-il?
Le thermomètre Braun ThermoScan mesure la chaleur infrarouge que génèrent le
tympan et les tissus environnants. Pour éviter les mesures imprécises, la sonde du
thermomètre est chauffée à une température proche de celle du corps humain.
Lorsque vous introduisez le thermomètre Braun ThermoScan dans le conduit auditif,
il assure le contrôle continu du rayonnement infrarouge. La prise de température
se termine et le résultat s’affiche dès que le thermomètre perçoit qu’une mesure
précise a été effectuée. Le résultat affiché est calibré pour procurer la lecture d’une
température orale équivalente.
Température corporelle
La température normale du corps correspond à une fourchette de valeurs. Elle varie selon
la partie du corps où elle est prise et a tendance à baisser avec l’âge. Elle fluctue, en outre,
d’une personne à l’autre et d’un moment de la journée à un autre. Pour ces raisons, il est
important de déterminer les plages de températures considérées comme normales. Rien
n’est plus simple avec un thermomètre Braun ThermoScan. Entraînez-vous à prendre votre
température et celle de membres de votre famille en bonne santé pour établir les gammes
dites normales.
Remarque: lors de la consultation médicale, expliquez au médecin que la température
ThermoScan a été prise dans l’oreille et, si possible, faites-lui part de la fourchette de
températures normales ThermoScan de la personne, en tant que référence
supplémentaire.

Le témoin du filtre de lentille
clignote pour signaler qu’un
filtre de lentille doit être mis
en place.
Pour obtenir des résultats
précis, veillez à ce qu’un filtre
de lentille neuf et immaculé soit
en place avant chaque prise de température.
Pour fixer le filtre de lentille neuf, enfoncez la sonde du thermomètre tout droit dans la boîte des
filtres de lentille puis tirez pour sortir.
Remarque: le thermomètre Braun ThermoScan ne fonctionne que s’il est pourvu d’un filtre de lentille.

Appuyez sur le bouton de démarrage .
Durant l’autovérification interne, l’afficheur
indique tous les segments. La dernière mesure de
température s’affiche alors pendant 5 secondes.
Pourquoi mesurer dans l’oreille?
Le but de la thermométrie est de mesurer la température interne du corps
1
, soit la
température des organes vitaux. La température auriculaire reflète avec précision la
température interne du corps
2
car celle-ci est régulée par l’hypothalamus
3
, irrigué
par les mêmes flux sanguins que le tympan. Les changements de température
corporelle sont ainsi perçus plus tôt dans l’oreille. La température axillaire
(température de la peau), peut ne pas correspondre à la température interne du
corps; boire, manger ou respirer par la bouche influencent la température buccale;
la température rectale reflète souvent avec retard les variations de la température
interne du corps, sans oublier le risque de contamination croisée.

Introduisez la sonde dans le conduit auditif afin
qu’elle soit ajustée serré puis pressez brièvement la
touche de mise en marche
.
Le témoin ExacTemp clignotera durant le processus de mesure puis
restera allumé pendant 3 secondes, ce qui signale qu’une prise de
température précise a été effectuée.
REMARQUE: si la sonde a été convenablement introduite dans le
conduit auditif durant le relevé de la température, un long bip sonore
indiquera la fin du processus de mesure.
Si la sonde n’a PAS été placée constamment en position stable dans le
conduit auditif, vous entendrez une série de bips sonores brefs, le témoin
ExacTemp s’éteindra et l’afficheur indiquera un message d’erreur
(POS = erreur de positionnement).

Un bip confirme qu’une mesure précise a été
relevée. Le résultat s’affiche alors à l’écran.
Pour la prochaine mesure, appuyez sur l’éjecteur
pour dégager et jeter le filtre de lentille usé puis placez
un filtre de lentille neuf sur la sonde.
Le thermomètre auriculaire Braun ThermoScan s’éteint
automatiquement au bout de 60 secondes d’inactivité.
Le thermomètre peut aussi être éteint en appuyant et
en maintenant le bouton de mise en marche
.
L’afficheur indiquera brièvement OFF avant de s’effacer.
