How does Braun ThermoScan work?
The Braun ThermoScan measures the infrared heat generated by the eardrum and
surrounding tissues . When placed in the ear, the Braun ThermoScan continuously
monitors the infrared energy and the ExactTemp® Stability Indicator displays a
reading only if the thermometer detects that an accurate and stable temperature
measurement has been taken .
How to use your Braun ThermoScan
1 . Remove the thermometer from the protective case .
2 . Push the Power button
During an internal self-check, the display shows all segments .
Then the last temperature taken will be displayed for 5 seconds .
3 . The hygienic lens filter indicator will blink to signal one is
needed .
To achieve accurate measurements, make sure a new, clean
hygienic lens filter is in place before each measurement .
Attach a new hygienic lens filter by pushing the
thermometer probe straight into the hygienic lens filter
inside the box and then pulling out .
Note: The Braun ThermoScan will not work unless a
hygienic lens filter is attached .
The thermometer is ready to take a temperature when the
display looks like the following image:
