5. About the Braun PRO 6000 The Braun ThermoScan® thermometer is a clinical grade ear thermometer indicated for the intermittent measurement of human body temperature in patients of all ages in a professional use environment. Please read all instructions carefully and thoroughly before using this product.
5.1 How does Braun ThermoScan work? The Braun PRO 6000 technology reads the infrared energy emitted by the tympanic membrane and surrounding tissues to determine the patient’s temperature. To help ensure accurate temperature measurements, the sensor itself is warmed to a temperature close to that of the human body. When the Braun ThermoScan is placed in the ear, it continuously monitors the infrared energy until a temperature equilibrium has been reached and an accurate measurement can be taken. The thermometer displays an actual measured ear temperature or clinically accurate, oral equivalent temperature that has been validated in clinical studies by comparing IR measurements with the oral readings from afebrile and febrile patients of various ages. Unadjusted operating mode ear temperature readings are available via unadjusted mode, which can be accessed using the Welch Allyn Service Tool.
5
English 5.2 ExacTemp™ technology The Braun PRO 6000 thermometer also features ExacTemp™ technology which supports temperature measurement reliability by detecting the stability of the probe placement during the measurement. The ExacTemp light flashes during the measuring process and remains illuminated when the measurement is complete, indicating consistent placement of the probe during the measurement process. Consistent probe placement helps support accurate temperature measurement.
5.3 Why measure in the ear? Clinical studies have shown that the ear is an excellent site for temperature measurement because temperatures taken in the ear reflect the body’s core temperature1. Body temperature is regulated by the hypothalamus2, which shares the same blood supply as the tympanic membrane3. Changes in core body temperature are usually seen sooner at the tympanic membrane than at other sites, such as the rectum, mouth or under the arm. Advantages of taking temperatures at the ear versus traditional sites: • Axillary temperature measurements reflect skin temperature which may not reliably indicate the internal body temperature. • Rectal temperatures often lag significantly behind internal body temperature changes, especially at times of rapidly changing temperatures. Also, there is a risk of cross contamination. • Oral temperatures are often influenced by eating, drinking, thermometer placement, breathing through the mouth, or the inability of the person to close their mouth completely. 1.

English 5.4 Body temperature Normal body temperature is a range. The following table shows that this normal range also varies by site. Therefore, measurements from different sites, even if taken at the same time, should not be directly compared.
Normal ranges by site1: Axillary1, 2:
95.6–99.4°F
35.3–37.4 °C
Oral :
95.7–99.9 °F
35.4–37.7 °C
96.6–100.8 °F
35.9–38.2 °C
95.7–99.9 °F
35.4–37.7 °C
1, 2
Rectal : 1, 2
ThermoScan : 1, 2
A person’s normal temperature range tends to decrease with age. The following table shows normal ThermoScan ranges by age.
Normal ThermoScan ranges by age1, 2: < 3 months
96.4–99.4 °F
35.8–37.4 °C

95.7–99.6 °F
35.4–37.6 °C
> 36 months
95.7–99.9 °F
35.4–37.7 °C
The range of normal varies from person to person and can be influenced by many factors such as time of day, level of activity, medications and gender. 1. Sund-Levander M, Forsberg C, Wahren LK.

6. Contraindications Clinical studies have shown the Braun ThermoScan thermometer can obtain accurate temperature measurements on full term newborn, pediatric and adult patients. However, there are special situations when an ear thermometer should not be used. These include, but may not be limited to the following situations: • Do not use an ear thermometer if there is blood or drainage in the external ear canal. • An ear thermometer should not be used on a patient who exhibits symptoms of an acute or chronic inflammatory condition of the external ear canal. • Common situations like the presence of moderate amounts of cerumen (ear wax) in the ear canal, otitis media and tympanostomy tubes do not significantly impact temperature readings. However, complete ear canal occlusion due to cerumen (ear wax) can result in lower temperature readings. • Use the untreated ear if prescription ear drops or other ear medications have been placed in the ear canal. • Patients who have deformities of the face and/or ear may not be able to have a temperature taken with an ear thermometer. • This thermometer is not intended for pre‑term babies or small-for-gestational age babies.
6.1 What affects accuracy Always use a new disposable probe cover for each measurement to maintain accuracy and hygiene. The right ear measurement may differ 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 influence ear temperatures, including:
Factor
Affected
Not affected
Used probe cover Ambient temperature Wet / dirty / damaged lens Hearing aid Lying on pillow Moderate cerumen (ear wax) Otitis media (ear infections) Tympanostomy tubes In the event of lying on a pillow, ear plugs or hearing aid, remove the individual from the situation and wait 30 minutes prior to taking a temperature.

7. Warnings and precautions This thermometer is for professional use only. This thermometer must only be used with genuine Braun ThermoScan probe covers. Do not use any cleaning agent other than isopropyl or ethyl alcohol for cleaning the probe lens window and probe as specified in the cleaning section of this manual. Do not use any cleaning agent other than the approved list of cleaners for cleaning the body of the thermometer. To avoid inaccurate measurements, always attach a new, clean probe cover for each temperature measurement. The probe lens window must be kept clean, dry and undamaged at all times to ensure accurate measurements. To protect the probe lens window, always keep the thermometer in the storage cradle while transporting or when not in use. This thermometer is not intended for pre‑term babies or small-for-gestational age babies. Do not modify this equipment without authorization of manufacturer. Never use the thermometer for purposes other than those it has been intended for. Please follow the general safety precautions. Do not expose the thermometer to temperature extremes (below ‑4ºF / ‑25ºC or over 122ºF / 55ºC) nor excessive humidity (> 95 % RH). This thermometer complies with current required standards for electromagnetic interference and should not present a problem to other equipment nor is it effected by other devices. As a precaution, avoid using this device in close proximity to other equipment.
