Replacing the batteries

The thermometer is supplied with two 1.5 V batteries type AA (LR 6).

For best performance, we recommend Duracell

alkaline batteries.

Insert new batteries when the battery symbol appears on the display.

To open the battery compartment, depress the button in the door as shown

using a pen or other pointed object, while lifting the door. Remove the batteries

and replace with new batteries, making sure the poles are in the right direction.

Slide battery door back until it snaps in place.

To protect the

environment,

dispose of

empty batteries

according to

national or local

regulations.

Calibration

The thermometer is initially calibrated at the time of manufacture. If the

thermometer is used according to the use instruction, periodic readjustment

is not required. However, Welch Allyn recommends checking calibration on an

annual basis or whenever clinical accuracy of the thermometer is in question.

Procedures for checking calibration are outlined in the 9600 Plus Calibration

Tester (REF 01802-110) directions for use manual.

The above recommendations do not supersede the legal requirements. The user

must always comply with legal requirements for the control of the measurement,

functionality, and accuracy of the device which are required by the scope of

relevent laws, directives or ordinances where the device is used.

Manufacturing date is given by the LOT number located on front of the product.

The rst three digits give the day of the year manufactured.The second two

digits give the year of manufacture.The last six digits represent the serial

number of the device.

An example: LOT 27710KTC this product has been manufactured on the 277 day of

the year 2010.

Special situations

Clinical studies have shown the Braun ThermoScan thermometer can obtain accurate temperature mea-

surements on full term newborn, pediatric and adult patients. However, there are special situations when an

ear thermometer should not be used. These include, but may not be limited to the following situations:

• Do not use an ear thermometer if there is blood or drainage in the external ear canal.

• An ear thermometer should not be used on a patient who exhibits symptoms of an acute or chronic

inammatory condition of the external ear canal.

• Common situations like the presence of moderate amounts of cerumen in the ear canal, otitis media

and tympanostomy tubes do not signicantly impact temperature readings. However, complete ear

canal occlusion due to cerumen can result in lower temperature readings.

• For persons using hearing aids or ear plugs, remove the device and wait 20 minutes prior to taking

a temperature.

• Use the untreated ear if prescription ear drops or other ear medications have been placed in the ear

canal.

• Patients who have deformities of the face and/or ear may not be able to have a temperature taken with

an ear thermometer.

Fever facts

Many persons may not have an elevated temperature even when they are ill. These include, but are not

limited to infants under 90 days of age, persons taking steroids, antibiotics or antipyretics (acetaminophen,

ibuprofen, aspirin), persons with compromised immune systems, including the elderly or persons with some

chronic illnesses.

Fever is described as an elevation of body temperature over an individual’s «normal» temperature.

An elevated temperature or fever is often viewed as a danger sign. In fact, a fever can be very benecial,

and helps our

immune system work more effectively. A fever should be evaluated along with other physical symptoms.

With the exception of newborn infants, the presence of fever, without any other symptoms of illness, or in a

child who is behaving normally may not be cause of concern.

Some people, such as the elderly, infants under 90 days of age, those with compromised immune systems,

or persons who take steroids for example are often unable to build a response to illness or environmental

conditions. These individuals may not have a fever when they are ill, or their elevated temperature may

be lower than expected for the severity of their illness. Other medications such as antiinammatories and

some analgesics may also mask fever.

The presence or absence of fever should not be used as the only measurement of the signicance of the

illness.

Febrile seizures, or convulsions, which usually occur in children six months to six years of age, are thought

to occur not because a fever is present, but because of the rapid rise of the child’s temperature.
