5. About the Braun Thermoscan
®
PRO 6000 Ear thermometer
5.1 Intended Use
The Braun Thermoscan
®
PRO 6000 Ear thermometer is indicated for the intermittent
measurement of human body temperature for patients having ages ranging from normal
weight (full term) newborn to geriatric adults in a professional use environment. The probe
cover is used as a sanitary barrier between the infrared thermometer and the ear canal.
5.2 How does Braun ThermoScan work?
The Braun Thermoscan
®
PRO 6000 Ear thermometer technology
reads the infrared energy emitted by the tympanic membrane and
surrounding tissues to determine the patient’s temperature. To help
ensure accurate temperature measurements, the sensor itself 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 until a temperature equilibrium has been reached and
an accurate measurement can be taken. The thermometer displays an
actual measured ear temperature or clinically accurate, oral equivalent
temperature that has been validated in clinical studies by comparing IR
measurements with the oral readings from afebrile and febrile patients
of various ages. Unadjusted operating mode ear temperature readings
are available via unadjusted mode, which can be accessed using the
Welch Allyn Service Tool.
English

5.3 PerfecTemp™ Sensor System
Speed and ease of access are two key advantages of ear
thermometry. Concerns regarding accuracy and reliability
have hindered adoption of this technology. In clinical studies,
the precision of ear temperature measurement has been shown
to be influenced by ear canal anatomy and variability in user
technique. Proper probe placement can also be a challenge,
particularly with young patients that move around during
measurement. Shallow probe placement, coupled with anatomical
variabilities such as ear canals with a small circumference and poor
visibility of the tympanic membrane, can result in readings that are
low compared to core temperature because the thermometer could
be focused on the cooler outer ear canal.
The Braun Thermoscan
®
PRO 6000 Ear thermometer incorporates a new proprietary sensor
system, PerfecTemp™, that overcomes the challenges presented by ear canal anatomy and
variations in technique among clinicians. The thermometer collects information about the
direction and depth of ear probe placement as it is placed into the ear canal and automatically
incorporates this information into the temperature calculation. Incorporating information
related to patient specific anatomy and exact ear probe placement in the ear canal increases
the accuracy of the measurement as compared to core temperature, especially when probe
positioning is not ideal.
5.4 ExacTemp™ technology
The Braun Thermoscan
®
PRO 6000 Ear thermometer also features ExacTemp™ technology
which supports temperature measurement reliability by detecting the stability of the probe
placement during the measurement. The ExacTemp light flashes during the measuring
process and remains illuminated when the measurement is complete, indicating consistent
placement of the probe during the measurement process. Consistent probe placement helps
support accurate temperature measurement.
5.5 Why measure in the ear?
Clinical studies have shown that the ear is an excellent site for
temperature measurement because temperatures taken in the ear
reflect the body’s core temperature
1
. Body temperature is regulated
by the hypothalamus
2
, which shares the same blood supply as
the tympanic membrane
3
. Changes in core body temperature are
usually seen sooner at the tympanic membrane than at other sites,
such as the rectum, mouth or under the arm. Advantages of taking
temperatures at the ear versus traditional sites:
Axillary temperature measurements reflect skin temperature
which may not reliably indicate the internal body temperature.
Rectal temperatures often lag significantly behind internal body temperature changes,
especially at times of rapidly changing temperatures. Also, there is a risk of cross
contamination.
Oral temperatures are often influenced by eating, drinking, thermometer placement,
breathing through the mouth, or the inability of the person to close their mouth completely.

5.6 Body temperature
Normal body temperature is a range. The following table shows that
this normal range also varies by site. Therefore, measurements from
different sites, even if taken at the same time, should not be directly
compared.
Normal ranges by site
1
:
Axillary
1, 2
: 95.6–99.4 °F 35.3–37.4 °C
Oral
1, 2
: 95.7–99.9 °F 35.4–37.7 °C
Rectal
1, 2
: 96.6–100.8 °F 35.9–38.2 °C
ThermoScan
1, 2
: 95.7–99.9 °F 35.4–37.7 °C
A person’s normal temperature range tends to vary with age.
The following table shows normal ThermoScan ranges by age.
Normal ThermoScan ranges by age
1, 2
:
< 3 months 96.4–99.4 °F 35.8–37.4 °C
3–36 months 95.7–99.6 °F 35.4–37.6 °C
> 36 months 95.7–99.9 °F 35.4–37.7 °C
The range of normal varies from person to person and can be influenced by many factors
such as time of day, level of activity, medications and gender.

6. Contraindications
None
6.1 What affects accuracy
Always use a new disposable probe cover for each measurement 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 that may influence ear temperatures include:
Factor Affected Not affected
Used probe cover
Ambient temperature
Wet / dirty / damaged lens
Hearing aid
Lying on pillow
Moderate cerumen
(ear wax)
Otitis media (ear infections)
Tympanostomy tubes
In the event the patient is lying on a pillow or wearing ear plugs or a hearing aid, remove the
individual from the situation and wait 30 minutes prior to taking a temperature.
7. Warnings and precautions

14.1 Cleaning the probe lens window, probe and contacts
WARNING Only use Hillrom Thermometer disposable probe covers.
WARNING Do not use damaged, perforated, soiled or poor fitting probe covers. Do not reuse
probe covers.
WARNING Dirty probe lens window = lower readings. Fingerprints, cerumen, dust and
other soiling components reduce transparency of the tip and result in lower temperature
measurements.
If thermometer is placed in ear without a probe cover, clean immediately.
WARNING Do not damage probe lens window. Avoid touching probe lens window except
when cleaning. If probe lens window is damaged return to Welch Allyn for service.
CAUTION Do not modify, change or adjust probe lens window. These changes will affect
calibration and accuracy of the thermometer. If probe lens window is damaged return to
Welch Allyn for service.
CAUTION Do not use cleaning solution other than isopropyl or ethyl alcohol to clean probe
lens window and probe. Bleach and other cleaning agents will cause permanent damage to
the probe and probe lens window.
