Body Temperature; Product Description - Braun WelchAllyn ThermoScan Mode D'emploi

Body temperature

Normal body temperature is a range. The following table shows that ranges of
normal also vary by site. Therefore, readings from different sites, even if taken
at the same time, should not be directly compared.
Normal ranges by site:
Axillary :
1
Oral :
1
Rectal :
1
ThermoScan :
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 age
0 – 02 years
3 – 10 years
11 – 65 years
> 65 years
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.

How to use your Braun ThermoScan
1. To achieve accurate measurements, make sure a new,
clean probe cover (1) is in place before each measure-
ment. Use the following temperature taking technique:
2. When the probe cover is in place, the thermometer turns
on automatically. Wait for the ready signal beep.
3. Fit the probe snuggly into the ear canal, then push and
release the Start button (8).
If the probe has been properly inserted into the ear canal
during the complete measuring process, a long beep will
signal the end of the measuring process. The thermom-
eter detects that an accurate temperature measurement
has been taken. The result is shown on the display (5).
When you take a temperature measurement, the
«ExacTemp» light (7) can be of help. It flashes during
the measuring process when the probe is correctly posi-
tioned, and lights up continuously when the thermometer
detects that an accurate measurement has been taken.
