Intended use and contraindications

This TempleSwipe™ Thermometer is an handheld, battery-powered, infrared thermometer
intended for the intermittent measurement of human body temperature in a home-use
environment on people of all ages, except pre-term and small-for-gestational-age babies.
These thermometers are not intended for clinical use in a professional environment and are for
home usage only. This thermometer is not intended to interpret hypothermic temperatures.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Keep out of reach of children under 12 years.
Never use the thermometer for purposes other than those it has been intended for. Please
follow the general safety precautions when using on children.
Never immerse the thermometer into water or other liquids (not waterproof ). For cleaning
and disinfecting please follow the instructions in the "Care and cleaning" section.
Do not store this thermometer in temperature extremes below -25 °C or over 55 °C (below -13 °F
or over 131 °F) or in excessive humidity (above 95% non-condensing relative humidity).
If thermometer is stored in a location that is cooler or warmer than where it is being
used, let it sit in the patient's room for 10 minutes before taking the measurement.
Do not use the thermometer if there are signs of damage on the scanner or on the
thermometer itself. If damaged, do not attempt to repair the product.
Never scratch the sensor with a sharp object when cleaning.
This thermometer consists of high-quality precision parts. Do not drop the instrument.
Protect it from severe impact and shock. Do not twist the instrument or the measuring sensor.
This thermometer is intended for household use only.
Use of this thermometer is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your doctor.
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 doctor immediately if the temperature
exceeds 37.4 °C [99.4 °F])
• Patients over 60 years of age (Fever may be blunted or absent in older patients)
• Patients having diabetes mellitus or a weakened immune system (e.g., HIV positive, cancer
chemotherapy, chronic steroid treatment, splenectomy)
• Patients who are bedridden (e.g., nursing home patient, stroke, chronic illness, recovering
from surgery)
• A transplant patient (e.g., liver, heart, lung, kidney).
Do not allow children to take their temperatures unattended.

Please consult your doctor 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 TempleSwipe™ Thermometer?
Measurement in 3 seconds
The Braun TempleSwipe Technology™ allows measurement of temple
temperature in just 3 seconds
Accurate and reliable
Thanks to Braun TempleSwipe Technology™, the TempleSwipe™
Thermometer captures the heat naturally given off by the temple to
calculate oral equivalent temperature.
Easy to use
The TempleSwipe™ Thermometer is non-invasive. A measurement can be
taken even while a child is sleeping.
Design is easy to hold and use.
The TempleSwipe™ 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 TempleSwipe™ Thermometer works
The TempleSwipe™ 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.
This captured energy is collected through the sensor and converted to an oral equivalent
temperature value.
The TempleSwipe™ 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.
