Please seek immediate professional advice when a temperature elevation occurs
on persons whom are:
- Neonates and infants under 3 months (Consult your physician immediately if the temperature exceeds 99.4 °F (37.4 °C)
- Indviduals over 60 years of age (Fever may be blunted or absent in older individuals)
- Indviduals having diabetes mellitus or a weakened immune system (e.g., HIV positive, cancer chemotherapy, chronic immunosuppressant treatment, splenectomy)
- Individuals who are bedridden (e.g., nursing home patient, 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.
This thermometer is not intended for pre-term babies or small-for-gestational-
age babies. Pre-term is defined as babies with a calendar age of less than 37
weeks. Small-for-gestational-age is defined as a baby born at 37 weeks or
later, with a weight below the 10th percentile for babies of the same
gestational age.
This thermometer is not intended to interpret hypothermic temperatures. If the
device displays a temperature of 97.5°F (36.4°C) or less with an LED backlight
color of green or white, and the individual is exhibiting atypical symptoms or
behaviors, contact your physician or health care professional.
DO NOT allow children to take their temperatures unattended.
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.
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.
DO NOT modify this equipment without the authorization of the manufacturer.
Why use the Braun Forehead thermometer?
Measurement in less than 2 seconds
The innovative infrared technology allows the measurement of forehead
temperature in under 2 seconds.
Accurate and reliable
Due to advanced technology, the Forehead thermometer captures the heat
naturally given off by the forehead to calculate oral equivalent temperature
Easy to use
The Forehead thermometer poses less risk. A measurement can be taken even
while a child is sleeping.
Design is easy to hold and use.
The Forehead 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 Forehead thermometer works
The Forehead thermometer measures infrared energy radiated from the skin and
surrounding tissue on the center of the forehead. Temperature readings
obtained from the center of the forehead will provide the greatest accuracy
with this thermometer. The Forehead 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. A person’s normal temperature range
tends to decrease with age.
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.
Re-measure with a standard digital thermometer for confirmation, especially on
infants.
Temperature guidance feature
Temperature guidance helps you to better understand the meaning of your child’s temperature with the color indicated on the display. The color-coded screen displays GREEN for a normal temperature, YELLOW for a fever, and RED for a high fever.
Color range | Reading |
---|
Green
| 96.4 – 99.4 °F
(35.8 – 37.4 °C)
Yellow
| >99.4 – 101.3 °F
(>37.4 – 38.5 °C)
Red| >101.3 °F
(>38.5 °C )
Temperature taking hints
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. Re-measure with a
standard digital thermometer for confirmation. This thermometer displays an
oral equivalent temperature reading. Oral readings are approximately 0.9 F
(0.5 C) lower than a rectal digital measurement. Individual must be inside for
30 minutes before taking a measurement.
Note: Individual and the thermometer should be in the same ambient temperature
for at least 10 minutes.
ALWAYS hold the thermometer and the forehead steady when taking a reading. DO
NOT move the thermometer until you hear the final beep.
DO NOT take a measurement while or immediately after nursing a baby.
Individuals should not drink, eat, or be physically active before/while taking
the measurement. Remove hats and wait 10 minutes before taking a measurement.
Before taking a measurement, remove dirt or hair from the forehead area.
Wait 10 minutes after cleaning before taking measurement.
ALWAYS take the temperature exactly as directed. Temperature results may vary
if positioned in the wrong location.
In the following situations it is recommended that three temperatures in the
same location be taken and the highest one taken as the reading:
- Newborn infants in their first 100 days of life.
- 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.
General precautions:
- Remove any sweat prior to measuring with a dry cloth.
- Avoid any cooling or warming cloths on the forehead for at least 30 minutes prior to measuring.
- DO NOT take temperature measurements over scar tissue, open sores, or abrasions.
- Keep the measurement sensor and lens clean. Avoid directly touching the sensor or lens.
- ALWAYS store the thermometer with the protective cap in place to prevent dirt and scratches from damaging the device.
- Make sure to remove the protective cap before taking a measurement and to put the cap back on after using the thermometer.
