Therefore, measurements from different sites should not be directly compared. The following table shows that this normal range also varies by site. Netter H F, Atlas of Human Anatomy, Novartis Medical Education, East Hanover, NJ, 1997, pp 63, 95. Guyton A C, Textbook of medical physiology, W.B.

Axillary temperatures measure skin temperature and therefore, may not be a reliable indicator of core body temperature.Therefore, changes in body temperature are reflected sooner in the ear than at other sites. 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. The goal of thermometry is to measure core body temperature 1 which is the temperature of the vital organs. The measurement is finished and the result displayed when the thermometer detects that an accurate temperature measurement has been taken. When the Braun ThermoScan is placed in the ear, it continuously monitors the infrared energy.

To help to avoid inaccurate temperature measurements, the probe tip is warmed to a temperature close to that of the human body. Use of this thermometer is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your physician.īraun ThermoScan measures the infrared heat generated by the eardrum and surrounding tissues.This thermometer is intended for household use only.Keep lens filters out of reach of children.If the thermometer is accidentally used without a lens filter attached, clean the lens (see «Care and cleaning»).To avoid inaccurate measurements always use this thermometer with a new, clean lens filter attached.This thermometer must only be used with genuine Braun ThermoScan Lens Filters.Do not expose the thermometer to temperature extremes (below –4 ☏ / –20☌ or over 122☏ / 50☌) nor excessive humidity (> 95% RH).The operating ambient temperature range for this thermometer is 50 –104☏ (10–40☌).Therefore, read the use instructions carefully and However, as with any thermometer, proper technique is critical to obtainingĪccurate temperatures.

The ear canal which can hurt the eardrum. The shape of the thermometer probe prevents it from being inserted too far into The Braun ThermoScan thermometer has been carefully developed forĪccurate, safe and fast temperature measurements in the ear.
