Temperature Taking Hints; Memory Mode - Braun BFH 125 Manual

Temperature taking hints

Patients should stay in steady - state room condition for at least 30 minutes.
Hold the thermometer flush against the center of the forehead without moving
the patient or the thermometer for the duration of the 3 second measurement.
Do not remove the thermometer from the forehead before hearing the final beep.
Do not take a measurement while or immediately after nursing a baby.
Do not use the Forehead thermometer in high humidity environments.
Patients should not drink, eat, or be physically active before/while taking the
measurement.
Before placing the thermometer sensor onto the forehead, remove dirt, hair, or
sweat.
Use an alcohol swab to carefully clean the sensor and wait for 5 minutes before
taking a measurement on another patient. Wiping the forehead with a warm
or cool cloth may impact your reading. It is advised to wait 15 minutes before
taking a reading.
In the following situations it is recommended that three temperatures be taken
and the highest one taken as the reading:
• Newborn infants in the first 100 days.
• Children under three years of age with a compromised immune system and
for whom the presence or absence of fever is critical.
• When the user is learning how to use the thermometer for the first time
until he/she has familiarized himself/herself with the instrument and obtains
consistent readings.

Memory mode

The Braun Forehead thermometer includes a memory feature to recall the last
temperature reading. The last temperature taken is stored in its memory and will
be automatically displayed for 2 seconds when it is turned on.
