Braun IRT3020 Manual Do Utilizador

The Braun ThermoScan thermometer has been 
carefully developed for accurate, safe and fast 
temperature measurements in the ear. The shape 
of the thermometer probe prevents it from being 
inserted too far into the ear canal which can hurt 
the eardrum.

Important
•

The operating ambient temperature range for 
this thermometer is 10 – 40 °C (50 – 104 °F).

•

Do not expose the thermometer to temperature 
extremes (below –20 °C / –4 °F or over 50 °C / 
122 °F) or excessive humidity (> 95 % RH).

•

This thermometer must only be used with 
genuine Braun ThermoScan Lens Filters. Other 
lens filters can lead to inaccuracy.

•

To avoid inaccurate measurements always use 
this thermometer with a new, clean lens filter.

•

If the thermometer is accidentally used without 
a lens filter, clean the lens after use (see «Care 
and cleaning»).

•

Keep lens filters out of reach of children.

•

This thermometer is intended for household 
use only.

•

Use of this thermometer is not intended as a 
substitute for consultation with your physician.

 

Normal body temperature is a range. The following 
table shows that this normal range also varies by 
site. Therefore, measurements from different sites 
should not be directly compared.

•

A person’s normal temperature range tends to 
decrease with age. The following table shows 
normal ThermoScan ranges by age.

Everyone has their own normal temperature range, 
and this range also varies throughout the day. It is 
easy to determine normal temperature range using 
the Braun ThermoScan. Practice taking tempera-
tures on yourself and healthy family members to 
determine your normal temperature ranges.

Note: When consulting your physician, com-
municate that the ThermoScan temperature is a 
temperature measured in the ear and if possible, 
quote the individual’s normal ThermoScan 
temperature range as an additional reference.
