ThermoScan® 7 (IRT6520)

Question: What is the best way to achieve an accurate reading from my thermometer?

Answer:

ALWAYS replace the disposable lens filters with a genuine Braun lens filter to maintain accuracy and hygiene. The use of any other brand may alter the reading.

The right ear measurement 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:

– Poor probe placement
– Used lens filter
– Dirty lens

In the cases below, wait 20 minutes prior to taking a temperature:

– Extreme hot and cold room temperature
– Hearing aid

Use the untreated ear if ear drops or other ear medications have been placed in the ear canal.

Use the ear that has been facing upwards, if an individual has been lying down on their side with an ear face down on a pillow.

Question: What does a flashing display or no display mean when I turn on my thermometer?

Answer: A flashing display indicates a system error. We suggest waiting 1 minute until the thermometer turns off by itself and then turns on again. If the problem persists, reset the thermometer by removing the batteries momentarily.

Question: How can I view the last temperature taken on my thermometer?

Answer: The ThermoScan® 7 stores the last 9 temperature measurements. To display the stored measurement, the thermometer must be turned on. Press the Mem button. The display shows the temperature, and when releasing the Mem button, the stored temperature for that memory number is displayed, together with “M”. Each time the Mem button is pushed, the stored reading and an M is displayed to indicate each temperature measurement (e.g. M2). Memory mode is automatically exited by not pressing the memory button for 5 seconds.
