Intended use and contraindications
The Braun ThermoScan® Ear thermometer is intended to be used by home users for intermittent measurement of the
body temperature of patients having ages ranging from normal weight (full term) new-born to geriatric adult. The
thermometer is reusable. The Braun Hygiene cap is a single use device and is intended to maintain accuracy of
measurement, hygiene and prevent cross-contamination.
This product is not intended to diagnose any disease but is a useful screening tool for temperature.
This thermometer is not intended for clinical use in a professional environment and is for home usage only. The Age
Precision™ Technology feature is not intended for pre-term babies or small-for-gestational age babies. This
thermometer is not intended to interpret hypothermic temperatures. Do not allow children under 12 to take their
temperatures unattended.
Use of the IRT6575 is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your physician.
Warnings and Precautions
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. in spite of any colour
of the background light or absence of fever.
Please consult your physician if the thermometer shows elevated temperature (yellow or red background lights).
The operating ambient temperature range for this thermometer is 10 – 40 °C (50 – 104 °F). Do not expose the
thermometer to extreme temperatures (below -25 °C / -13 °F or over 55 °C / 131 °F) or excessive humidity (>95% RH).
This thermometer must only be used with genuine Braun ThermoScan disposable Hygiene caps (LF 40).
To avoid inaccurate measurements ALWAYS use this thermometer with a new, clean Hygiene cap attached.
If the thermometer is accidentally used without a Hygiene cap attached, clean the lens (see «Care and cleaning»
section). Keep Hygiene caps out of reach of children.
DO NOT modify this equipment without authorization of the manufacturer.
Parents/guardians should call the pediatrician upon noticing any unusual sign(s) or symptom(s).
For example, a child who exhibits irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, seizure, changes in appetite or activity,
even in the absence of fever, or who exhibits a low temperature, may still need to receive medical attention.
Children who are on antibiotics, analgesics, or antipyretics should not be assessed solely on temperature readings to
determine the severity of their illness.
Temperature elevation as indicated by Age Precision™ Technology may signal a serious illness, especially in adults who
are old, frail, have a weakened immune system, or neonates and infants. 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 doctor immediately if the temperature exceeds 37.4 °C or 99.4 °F)
•
Individuals over 60 years of age
•
Individuals having diabetes mellitus or a weakened immune system (e.g., HIV positive, cancer chemotherapy,
chronic steroid treatment, splenectomy)
•
Individuals who are bedridden (e.g., nursing home patient, stroke, chronic illness, surgical recovery)
