Care And Cleaning - Braun IRT 3030 Bedienungsanleitung

Disposable lens filters
Use a clean disposable hygienic lens filter with each
measurement:
1. To ensure hygienic use
2. To protect your child from cross-contamination
3. To ensure earwax residues do not impact accuracy of the
reading.
Earwax and dirt on the tip of the disposable lens filter, even in
microscopic layer, can create an obstacle between the sensor
and the infrared heat emitted by the ear and impact the
accuracy of the measurement.
Temperature taking hints
• Replace the disposable lens filter with every use to
maintain hygiene and accuracy.
• A measurement taken in the right ear 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
when an individual has:
– been lying on one ear or the other
– had their ears covered
– been exposed to very hot or very cold temperatures, or
– been recently swimming or bathing.
In these cases, remove the individual from the situation
and wait 20 minutes prior to taking a temperature.

• If ear drops or other ear medications have been placed in
the ear canal of one ear, take the temperature in the
untreated ear.

Care and cleaning

The probe tip (5) is the most delicate part of the thermometer.
It has to be clean and intact to ensure accurate readings.
If the thermometer is accidentally used without a disposable
lens filter, clean the probe tip as follows:
Very gently wipe the surface with a cotton
swab or soft cloth moistened with alcohol. Do
not use cleaners other than alcohol on the
probe tip. Use of other cleaners could
damange the tip.
Once the alcohol has dried completely, a new disposable lens
filter can be put on and a temperature measurement taken. If
the probe tip is damaged, please contact your authorized
local service center.
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the thermometer display and
product exterior. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Never
submerge this thermometer in water or any other liquid.
Store the thermometer and disposable lens filters in a dry
location free from dust and contamination and away from
direct sunlight.
Additional disposable lens filters (LF 40) are available at most
stores selling Braun ThermoScan.
