The Braun ThermoScan® thermometer has been carefully developed for accurate, safe and fast
temperature measurements in the ear.
The shape of the thermometer probe prevents it from being inserted too far into the ear canal
which can hurt the eardrum.
However, as with any thermometer, proper technique is critical to obtaining accurate temperatures.
Therefore, read the instructions carefully and thoroughly.
The Braun ThermoScan
®
thermometer is indicated for intermittent measurement and monitoring
of human body temperature for people of all ages. It is intended for household use only.
Use of IRT 6520 along with AgeSmart
™
feature is not intended as a substitute for consultation with
your physician.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
• 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. in spite of any color of the
background light or absence of fever.
• Please consult your doctor if the thermometer shows elevated temperature
(yellow or red background lights for IRT 6520).
The operating ambient temperature range for this thermometer is 10 – 40 °C (50 – 104 °F). Do not
expose the thermometer to temperature extremes (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
®
lens filters (LF 40).
To avoid inaccurate measurements always use this thermometer with a new, clean lens filter
attached.
If the thermometer is accidentally used without a lens filter attached, clean the lens
(see «Care and cleaning» section). Keep lens filters out of reach of children.

Body temperature
Normal body temperature is a range. It varies by site of measurement, and it tends to
decrease with age. It also varies from person to person and fluctuates throughout the
day. Therefore, it is important to determine normal temperature ranges. This is easily
done using Braun ThermoScan
®
. Practice taking temperatures on yourself and healthy
family members to determine the normal temperature range.
Note: When consulting your physician, communicate that the ThermoScan
®
temperature
is a temperature measured in the ear and if possible, note the individual’s normal
ThermoScan
®
temperature range as additional reference.
This thermometer is intended for household use only. This product is not intended to diagnose any
disease, but is a useful screening tool for temperature. Use of this thermometer is not intended as a
substitute for consultation with your physician.
The AgeSmart
TM
feature is not intended for pre-term babies or small-for-gestational age
babies. The AgeSmart™ feature is not intended to interpret hypothermic temperatures. Do not allow
children to take their temperatures unattended.
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 AgeSmart™ 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:
• Neonatesandinfantsunder3months(consultyourphysicianimmediatelyifthetemperature
exceeds 37.4 °C or 99.4 °F)
• Patientsover60yearsofage
• Patientshavingdiabetesmellitusoraweakenedimmunesystem(e.g.HIVpositive,cancer
chemotherapy, chronic steroid treatment, splenectomy)
• Patientswhoarebedridden(e.g.nursinghomepatient,stroke,chronicillness,recoveringfrom
surgery)
• Atransplantpatient(e.g.liver,heart,lung,kidney)
Fever may be blunted or even absent in elderly patients.
This thermometer contains small parts that can be swallowed or produce a choking hazard to
children. Always keep the thermometer out of children’s reach.
AgeSmart™ color-coded display
Clinical research shows the definition of fever changes as newborns grow into little kids
and little kids grow into adults
1
.
Braun’s AgeSmart
™
color-coded display takes the guess work out of interpreting
temperature for the entire family.
Simply use the AgeSmart™ button to select the appropriate age setting, take a
temperature and the color-coded display will glow green, yellow, or red to help
you understand the temperature reading. A green screen suggests no fever, a yellow
screen suggests moderate fever, and red signals high fever.

How does Braun ThermoScan® work?
Braun ThermoScan® measures the infrared heat generated by the
eardrum and surrounding tissues. To help avoid inaccurate temperature
measurements, the probe tip is warmed to a temperature close to that of the
human body. When the Braun ThermoScan
®
is placed in the ear, it continuously
monitors the infrared energy. The measurement is finished and the result
displayed when the thermometer detects that an accurate temperature
measurement has been taken.
Why measure in the ear?
The goal of thermometry is to measure core body temperature1 which is the
temperature of the vital organs. Ear temperatures accurately reflect core body
temperature
2
, since the eardrum shares blood supply with the temperature
control center in the brain
3
, the hypothalamus. Therefore, changes in body
temperature are reflected sooner in the ear than at other sites. Axillary
temperatures measure skin temperature and may not be a reliable indicator of
core body temperature. Oral temperatures are influenced by drinking, eating
and mouth breathing. Rectal temperatures often lag behind changes in core
body temperature and there is a risk of cross-contamination.

Fit the probe snuggly into the ear canal, then
push and release the Start button
.
Select age with AgeSmart™ button as shown below.
Press button to toggle through each age group.
NOTE: You must select an age in order to take a measurement.
The thermometer is ready to take temperature
when the display looks like the images below.
The lens filter indicator will blink to signal one is
needed.
To achieve accurate measurements, make sure
a new, clean lens filter is in place before each
measurement.
Attach a new lens filter by pushing the
thermometer probe straight into the lens filter
inside the box and then pulling out.
Note: The Braun ThermoScan
®
will not work
unless a lens filter is attached.
ExacTemp light will pulse while temperature is in progress. The light will
remain solid for 3 seconds to indicate that a successful temperature
reading has been achieved.
NOTE: If the probe has been properly inserted into the ear canal
during the measurement, a long beep will sound to signal the
completed measurement.
If the probe has NOT been constantly placed in a stable position in the
ear canal, a sequence of short beeps will sound, the ExacTemp light
will go out and the display will show an error message (POS = position
error).
See «Errors and troubleshooting» section for more
information.

Temperature taking hints
Always replace disposable lens filters to maintain accuracy and hygiene. 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:
Factor Yes affects
Poor probe placement
Used lens filter
Dirty lens
