Indications for Use / Intended Use
The BraunThermoScan® 3 Ear thermometer is intended for the
intermittent measurement and monitoring of human body
temperature by consumers in the home.
Warnings and Precautions
Please consult your physician if you see symptoms such as
unexplained irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration,
changes in appetite or activity, seizure, muscle pain,
shivering, sti neck, pain when urinating, etc. in spite of the
absence of fever.
Please consult your physician if the thermometer indicates

This thermometer is not intended for pre-term babies or
small-for-gestational age newborn babies (birth to 4 weeks of
age). Pre-term is dened as babies born before 37 weeks of
gestation. Small-for-gestational-age is dened as a newborn
baby, born at 37 weeks or later, with a weight below the 10th
percentile for newborn babies of the same gestational age
Nursing mothers should not take a temperature measurement
on themselves or have their temperature measured by
another individual while or immediately after nursing a baby,
as nursing can aect body temperature.

This thermometer is not intended to interpret hypothermic
temperatures. If the device displays a temperature of 97.5°F
(36.4°C) or less, and the individual is exhibiting atypical
symptoms or behaviors, contact your doctor or health care
professional.
DO NOT allow children to take their temperature unattended
DO NOT modify this equipment without authorization of the
manufacturer.
People who are taking antibiotics, analgesics, or antipyretics
should not be assessed solely on temperature readings to
determine the severity of their illness.
This thermometer contains small parts that can be swallowed
or produce a choking hazard to children.
Keep out of reach of children.
Temperature elevation may signal a serious illness, especially
in adults who are old, frail, have a weakened immune system,
or neonates and infants. Please seek professional advice
immediately when there is a temperature elevation and
if you are taking temperature for individuals who are:
• Neonates and infants under 3 months (Consult your
physician immediately if the temperature exceeds 99.4 °F or
37.4 °C).
• Individuals having diabetes mellitus or a weakened immune
system (e.g., HIV positive, cancer chemotherapy, chronic
immunosuppressant treatment, splenectomy).
• Individuals who are bedridden (e.g., paraplegia, quadriplegia,
stroke, chronic illness, surgical recovery, nursing home patient,
stroke, chronic illness, recovering from surgery).
• A transplant recipient (e.g., liver, heart, lung, kidney).
Fever may be lower or even absent in elderly patients.
DO NOT expose the thermometer to temperature extremes
(below –13 °F / –25 °C or over 131 °F / 55 °C ) or excessive
humidity (> 95 % RH).

This thermometer must only be used with genuine Braun
ThermoScan® disposable lens lters. Other lens lters can
lead to inaccuracy.
To avoid inaccurate measurements ALWAYS use this
thermometer with a new, clean, disposable lens lter.
If the thermometer is accidentally used without a disposable
lens lter, clean the lens after use (see“Care and cleaning”).
Keep disposable lens lters out of reach of children.
This thermometer is intended for household use only.
This product is not intended to diagnose any disease but
is a useful screening tool for temperature.
Use of this thermometer is not intended as a substitute
for consultation with your physician.
This thermometer must stay in stable ambient (room)
temperature for 30 minutes before operating.
Audio temperature indicator
Thermometer will signal by beeps normal, fever, or high fever.
Temperature reading Number of beeps
Normal (99.3 °F or ≤37.4 °C) One beep: )
Fever (99.5 °F or ≥ 37.5°C) Two beeps, repeated: )) )) ))
High Fever (101.5 °F or ≥ 38.6 °C) Four beeps, repeated: )))) )))) ))))
Body temperature
Normal body temperature is a range. It varies by site of
measurement, and it tends to decrease with age. It also varies
from person to person and uctuates throughout the day.
Therefore, it is important to determine normal temperature ranges.

How to use your BraunThermoScan®
Before taking the temperature, make sure the ear is free from
obstructions or excess earwax.
DO NOT attempt to take the reading without a hygienic lens
lter on – the measuring sensor must be kept protected and
clean from earwax to give accurate readings.
Change the hygienic lens lter with each use to ensure
hygiene, to keep child safe from cross-contamination and to
ensure earwax residues on the disposable lens lter do not
impact accuracy of the reading.
1.To turn the thermometer on, push the“start”button (4).
During an internal self-check, the display
shows all segments.
The reading showed on the screen is the
last temperature taken.
Flashing symbol of lens lter will appear if
no lens lter is attached.Temperature can
be taken only if lens lter is mounted on
the probe.
The thermometer is ready to use after two
beeps are sounded and the non-ashing
ear icon appears.
2. Fit the probe (3) snugly into the ear canal,
aim the probe straight towards the
opposite ear or temple, then push the
“start”button (4).
One beep signals normal temperature.
Audio temperature indicator will trigger 2
consecutive beeps when the reading is
equal or higher to 99.5 °F (37.5 °C) and 4
beeps if the reading is equal or higher to
101.5 °F (38.6 °C). The result is shown on
the display (7).

3. Gently pull o the hygienic lens lter (2).
Do not use force in removing the
hygienic lens lter.
4. Put on a new, clean, hygienic lens lter by
snapping into position.
5. Place the protective cap on (1).
The BraunThermoScan® 3 Ear thermometer
turns o automatically after 60 seconds of
inactivity.The thermometer can be turned
o by pressing and holding the start button
for more than 5 seconds.
Hygienic lens lters
Use a clean disposable hygienic lens lter with each
measurement:
1. To ensure hygienic use
2. To protect your child from cross-contamination
3. To ensure earwax residues do not impact accuracy of
the reading
Earwax and dirt on the tip of the hygienic lens lter, even in
microscopic layer, can create an obstacle between the sensor
and the infrared heat emitted by the ear and impact the
accuracy of the measurement.
Temperature taking hints
•Replace the hygienic lens lter with every use to maintain
hygiene and accuracy.

•A measurement taken in the right ear may dier from the
measurement taken in the left ear.Therefore, always take
the temperature in the same ear.
•The ear must be free from obstructions or excess earwax
build-up to take an accurate reading.
•External factors may inuence ear temperatures, including
when an individual has:
– been lying on one ear or the other
– had their ears covered
– been exposed to very hot or very cold temperatures, or
– been recently swimming or bathing
In these cases, remove the individual from the situation
and wait 20 minutes prior to taking a temperature.
•If ear drops or other ear medications have been placed in
the ear canal of one ear, take the temperature in the
untreated ear.
Care and cleaning
The probe tip (5) is the most delicate part of the thermometer.
It has to be clean and intact to ensure accurate readings.
If the thermometer is accidentally used without a hygienic
lens lter, clean the probe tip as follows:
Very gently wipe the surface with a cotton
swab or soft cloth moistened with alcohol.
Do not use cleaners other than alcohol on
the probe tip. Use of other cleaners could
damage the tip.
Once the alcohol has dried completely, a
new hygienic lens lter can be put on and a temperature
measurement taken. If the probe tip is damaged, please
contact your authorized local service center.
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the thermometer display and
product exterior. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Never
submerge this thermometer in water or any other liquid.
