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.

Product description

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.

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

which is the

temperature of the vital organs. Ear temperatures accurately reﬂect core body

temperature

, since the eardrum shares blood supply with the temperature control

center in the brain

, 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.

English

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.

Description des produits

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.

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.

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.

Le thermomètre est prêt à prendre une température lorsque l’afﬁcheur est tel qu’illustré ci-dessous

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

, soit la

température des organes vitaux. La température auriculaire reﬂète avec précision la

température interne du corps

car celle-ci est régulée par l’hypothalamus

, 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.

Mode d’emploi du Braun ThermoScan

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).

Consultez la rubrique

Erreurs et dépannage

pour obtenir de plus

amples renseignements

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.
