Temperature-taking hints

Replace disposable Hygiene cap with every use to maintain accuracy,
hygiene and to prevent cross-contamination. Earwax and dirt on the tip of
the Hygiene cap, even in a microscopic layer, can create an obstacle
between the sensor and the infrared heat emitted by the ear and impact the
accuracy of the measurement.
External factors like poor probe replacement, used Hygiene cap or dirty Hygiene
cap may influence ear temperature measurements .
In clinical studies, precision and accuracy of ear thermometer measurement has been shown to be influenced by
variability in user technique . Correct probe placement is essential for accurate measurements.

to remove and discard
Temperature in right and left ear differs, always compare measurements from the same ear. The natural
physiological difference may reach 0 .2 °C . In the absence of confounding factors, in high-risk population (like infants or
immunodepressed people) use the highest of the two to interpret the patient's temperature .
In the following cases, wait 20 minutes prior to taking a temperature: extreme changes in room temperature, hearing
aid, lying on a pillow . Use the untreated ear if ear drops or other medications have been placed in the ear canal .

Care and cleaning
The probe tip is the most delicate part of the thermometer . It must be clean and intact to ensure accurate
readings . If the thermometer is ever accidentally used without a Hygiene cap, clean the probe tip as follows:
Very gently wipe the surface with a cotton swab or soft cloth moistened with alcohol . After the
alcohol has completely dried out, you can put a new Hygiene cap on and take a temperature
measurement .
If the probe tip is damaged, please contact Consumer Relations .
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the thermometer display and exterior . Do not use abrasive cleaners .
Never submerge this thermometer in water or any other liquid . Store thermometer and Hygiene
caps in a dry location free from dust and contamination and away from direct sunlight .
Additional Hygiene caps (LF 40) are available at most stores carrying Braun ThermoScan .
