Kaz Braun ThermoScan 5 Ear Thermometer

Features of Braun Thermoscan Electronic Ear Thermometer

1. Preheated Measuring Tip
   Inserting the measuring tip cools the measuring area in the ear, which results in fluctuating measured values. The measuring tip of the Thermoscan, on the other hand, is preheated to 34 °C and thus ensures professional accuracy.

 

2. ExacTemp
   Patented ExacTemp positioning aid confirms correct position in the ear with light and beep.

 

3. Fast measurement
   A quick measurement is particularly important for children. With Braun Thermoscan, the temperature can be measured in a few seconds.

 

4. Hygienic disposable protective caps
   Designed to be easily replaced between each use, eliminating the need for time-consuming probe cleaning.

 

How does Braun Ear Thermometer work?

• Braun ThermoScan measures the infrared heat generated by the eardrum and surrounding tissues.
• To help avoid inaccurate temperature measurements, the probe tip is warmed to a temperature close to the human body.
• When the Braun ThermoScan is placed in the ear, it continuously monitors the infrared energy.
• The measurement is finished, and the result is displayed when the thermometer detects an accurate temperature measurement.

How to use Braun ThermoScan 5 Thermometer?

1. Remove the thermometer from the storage cradle.
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 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 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 lens filter is attached. The thermometer is ready to take a temperature when the display looks like the images below.
4. ExacTemp Stability Indicator light will pulse while the temperature is in progress. The light will remain solid for 3 seconds to indicate that a successful temperature reading has been achieved.
   Note: If the probe has been properly inserted into the ear canal during the measurement, a long beep will sound to signal the completed measurement. If the probe has not been constantly placed in a stable position in the ear canal, a sequence of short beeps will sound, the ExacTemp Stability Indicator light will go out and the display will show an error message (POS = position error).
5. The confirmation beep indicates that an accurate temperature measurement has been taken. The result is shown on the display.
6. For the next measurement, press the Eject button to remove, and discard the used lens filter, and put on a new, clean lens filter. The Braun ThermoScan Ear thermometer turns off automatically after 60 seconds of inactivity. The thermometer can also be turned off by pressing and holding down the Power button. The display will briefly flash OFF and it will go blank.

How to change the temperature between °F and °C?

If you wish to change the temperature scale of your thermometer:

1. Make sure the thermometer is turned off.
2. Press and hold down the Power button. After about 3 seconds the display will show this sequence: ° C / SET / ° F / SET.
3. Release the Power button when the desired temperature scale is shown. There will be a short beep to confirm the new setting, then the thermometer is turned off automatically.

How to clean?

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 hygienic lens filter, 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 hygienic lens filter 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 the thermometer and hygienic lens filters in a dry location free from dust and contamination and away from direct sunlight.
• Additional lens filters (LF 40) are available at most stores carrying Braun ThermoScan.
