To avoid gross temperature dif- ferences, the sensor itself is brought to a temperature close to that of the human body. When the Braun ThermoScan is placed in the ear, it continuously monitors the infrared radiation. The measurement will be finished and the result is displayed, when an accurate reading can be assured.
However, the range of normal also varies from person to person and fluctuates throughout the day. It is therefore important to deter- mine your normal temperature range. This is easily done using Braun ThermoScan. Practice taking temperatures on yourself and healthy family members to determine their normal temperature ranges.
