Please consult your physician if you see symptoms such as unexplained
irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, changes in appetite or
activity, seizure, muscle pain, shivering, stiff neck, pain when urinating,
etc.
Even in the absence of fever, those who exhibit a normal temperature may still
need to receive medical attention. People who are on antibiotics, analgesics,
or antipyretics should not be assessed solely on temperature readings to
determine the severity of their illness.
Temperature elevation may signal a serious illness, especially in neonates and
infants, or in adults who are old, frail, or have a weakened immune system.
Please seek professional advice immediately when there is a temperature
elevation and if you are taking temperature on:
- Neonates and infants under 3 months (Consult your physician immediately if the temperature exceeds 99.4 °F [37.4 °C])
- Individuals over 60 years of age (Fever may be blunted or even absent in elderly Individuals)
- Individuals having diabetes mellitus or a weakened immune system (e.g., HIV positive, cancer chemotherapy, chronic immunosuppressant treatment, splenectomy)
- Individuals who are bedridden due to stroke, chronic illness, surgical recovery, paraplegia, quadriplegia.
- A transplant recipient (e.g., liver, heart, lung, kidney)
It is important to know each individual’s normal temperature when they are well. This is the only way to accurately diagnose a fever. Take multiple readings when healthy to determine normal temperature.

Why use the Braun Sensian™ Swipe 5 Thermometer?
Measurement in 3 seconds
The innovative infrared technology allows measurement of forehead temperature
in 3 seconds.
Accurate and reliable
Thanks to Braun’s Temples wipe™ Technology, the Sensing™ Swipe 5 Thermometer
captures the heat naturally given off by the forehead and the temple to
calculate oral equivalent temperature.
Easy to use
The Sanxian™ Swipe 5 Thermometer is non-invasive.
Design is easy to hold and use.
The Sensing™ Swipe 5 Thermometer is safer to use on a child than a rectal
thermometer and is easier to use than other methods.
Safe and hygienic
Helps minimize spreading of germs.
Completely safe for use on children and adults.
Auto-Display memory
The last reading is automatically displayed for 2 seconds when the unit is
switched ON.
How the Braun Sensing™ Swipe 5 Thermometer works
The Sanxian™ Swipe 5 Thermometer measures infrared energy radiated from the
skin above the eyebrow area, the temple, and the surrounding tissue.
Temperature readings obtained by scanning the temple area will provide the
greatest accuracy.
The Sensing™ Swipe 5 Thermometer has been clinically tested and proven to be
safe and accurate when used in accordance with its operating instruction
manual.
Normal temperature is a range. The range of normal also varies from person to
person and fluctuates throughout the day. It is, therefore, important to
determine your normal temperature range.
The best way to determine your normal temperature range is to use the
thermometer when feeling well. Record readings twice a day (early morning and
late afternoon). Take the average of the two temperatures to calculate normal
oral equivalent temperature.
A child’s normal temperature can be as high as 99.9°F or as low as 97.0°F.
Remeasure with a standard digital thermometer for confirmation, especially on
infants.
Color-coded fever guidance
Fever guidance helps you to better understand the meaning of your child’s
temperature with the color indicated on the display. The screen displays green
for a normal temperature, yellow for a fever, and red for a high fever.
Color Range | Reading | Meaning |
---|---|---|
Green | 96.4 °F – 99.4 °F | |
(35.8 °C – 37.4 °C) | Normal | |
Yellow | >99.4 °F – 101.3 °F | |
(>37.4 °C – 38.5 °C) | Fever | |
Red | >101.3 °F | |
(>38.5 °C) | High Fever |

Temperature taking hints
Before having temperature measured, individuals should be indoors for at least
30 minutes.
Hold the thermometer flush against the forehead and swipe slowly from above
the eyebrow down to the temple, and back again. Swiping too slow or too fast
may impact your reading.
DO NOT remove the thermometer from the forehead before hearing the final beep.
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 affect body temperature.
DO NOT use the Sensing™ Swipe 5 Thermometer in high humidity environments.
Individuals 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.
Remove blankets and pillows away from the head and face prior measurement.
Use an alcohol swab to carefully clean the sensor and wait for 5 minutes
before taking a measurement on another Individual. Wiping the forehead with a
warm or cool cloth may impact your reading. It is advised to wait 15 minutes
before taking a reading.
ALWAYS take the temperature in the same location, since the temperature
readings may vary from different locations on the forehead.
In the following situations, it is recommended that three temperatures be
taken and the highest one used as the reading:
- Infants within the first 100 days of their birth.
- 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.
