Frequently Asked Questions
What is Age Precision® Technology, and how does it enhance temperature readings?
Age Precision® Technology is a feature of the Braun ThermoScan® 7 that allows users to select the age of the individual being measured—0-3 months, 3-36 months, or 36+ months. Clinical research indicates that the definition of fever varies with age; this technology adjusts the fever guidance accordingly, providing color-coded results: green for normal, yellow for elevated, and red for high fever. This personalized approach ensures accurate interpretation of temperature readings across different age groups.
How does the pre-warmed tip improve the accuracy of the Braun ThermoScan® 7?
The Braun ThermoScan® 7 features a pre-warmed tip that is heated to 34°C before use. This design minimizes the cooling effect that can occur with standard tips, which can lead to inaccurate readings. By maintaining a temperature close to that of the human body, the pre-warmed tip ensures more reliable and consistent measurements.
What is the ExacTemp® guidance system, and how does it function?
The ExacTemp® guidance system is an innovative feature of the Braun ThermoScan® 7 that ensures the thermometer is correctly positioned in the ear canal. It uses a light and a beep to confirm stable positioning, which is crucial for obtaining accurate temperature readings. This system provides users with confidence that they are using the device properly, leading to more reliable results.
Is the Braun ThermoScan® 7 suitable for use on newborns?
Yes, the Braun ThermoScan® 7 is suitable for use on newborns. Clinical studies have shown that it provides measurements as accurate as rectal readings in newborns. The device's design, including the pre-warmed tip and Age Precision® Technology, ensures gentle and accurate temperature assessments for infants.
How should I clean and maintain the Braun ThermoScan® 7 to ensure accurate readings?
To maintain accuracy and hygiene, always use a new, clean Braun lens filter for each measurement. If the thermometer is accidentally used without a lens filter, clean the lens gently with a cotton swab or soft cloth moistened with rubbing alcohol (70% isopropyl). Avoid storing the thermometer in extreme temperatures or high humidity, and allow it to acclimate to room temperature if it has been stored in a different environment.
