Temperature Taking Hints - Braun ThermoScan IRT3030LA Manual

Disposable lens filters
Use a clean disposable hygienic lens filter 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 disposable lens filter, even in
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 disposable lens filter with every use to
maintain hygiene and accuracy.
• A measurement taken in the right ear may differ 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 influence 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, or
– been recently swimming or bathing.
In these cases, remove the individual from the situation
and wait 20 minutes prior to taking a temperature.
