Temperature elevation may signal a serious illness, especially in neonates and infants, or in adults who are old, frail, or have a weakened immune system. Please seek professional advice immediately when there is a temperature elevation and if you are taking temperature on:

• Neonates and infants under 3 months (Consult your doctor immediately if the temperature exceeds 37.4^ [99.4°F])
  • Patients over 60 years of age (Fever may be blunted or absent in older patients)
  • Patients having diabetes mellitus or a weakened immune system (e.g., HIV positive, cancer

English

chemotherapy, chronic steroid treatment, splenectomy)

• Patients who are bedridden (e.g., nursing home patient, stroke, chronic illness, recovering from surgery)
• A transplant patient (e.g., liver, heart, lung, kidney).
Do not allow children to take their temperatures unattended.

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., even in the absence of fever.

Even in the absence of fever, those who exhibit a normal temperature may still need to receive medical attention. People who are on antibiotics, analgesics, or antipyretics should not be assessed solely on temperature readings to determine the severity of their illness.

Do not modify this equipment without the authorization of the manufacturer.

Why Braun No touch + touch thermometer?

Measurement in under 2 seconds

The innovative infrared technology allows measurement of

touch temperature in under 2 seconds whether you use the touch or no touch option.

Accurate and reliable

Due to the unique patented technology, the No touch + touch thermometer captures the heat naturally given off by the forehead to calculate body temperature value. Get the same professional accuracy whether touching your child's forehead or holding up to 2.5 cm away.

Easy to use

The No touch + touch thermometer is non-invasive. A measurement can be taken even while a child is sleeping.

The No touch + touch thermometer is less threatening to a child than a rectal thermometer and easier to use than other methods.

Safe and hygienic

No-touch option helps minimize spreading of germs. Safe for use on children and adults.

How does Braun No touch + touch work?

The Braun No touch + touch thermometer measures infrared energy radiated from the skin at the center of the forehead area. This captured energy is collected through the sensor and converted to an oral equivalent temperature value.

The No touch + touch thermometer has been clinically tested and proven to be safe and accurate when used in accordance with its operating instruction manual.

Fever guidance feature

Fever guidance helps you to better understand the meaning of your child's temperature with the color indicated on the display. The screen displays green if no fever, yellow for fever and a red alert for a possibly high fever. 10 audible beeps indicate temperatures above 37.4^ (99.4°F) to alert the user that the patient may have a fever.

Color range Reading Meaning
Green ≥ 35.8 - ≤ 37.4 °C	(≥ 96.4 - ≤ 99.4 °F)	Normal
Yellow > 37.4 - ≤ 38.5 °C	(> 99.4 - ≤ 101.3 °F)	Fever
Red > 38.5 °C	(> 101.3 °F)	High fever

NOTE: Backlight remains OFF when below temperature readings are registered:

34.0 ≤ T < 35.8 °C (93.2 ≤ T < 96.4 °F)

How to use your Braun No touch + touch

1. Remove cap

2 Poweron

Press and release the power button once. Backlight will come on and the start-up sequence begins.

English

3. Position

Position thermometer on or up to 2.5 cm away from the center of the forehead, just between the eyebrows.

For No touch readings, the yellow guidance light will show you where you are aiming. If the eyebrow area is covered with hair, sweat or dirt, please clean the area beforehand to improve the reading accuracy. It is important to hold the thermometer and the forehead steady during measurement. Movement will impact the temperature reading.

Temperature results may vary if positioned in the wrong location

4. Take temperature

Press the temperature button (you can press and hold the button or press and release it). When the thermometer is placed correctly, the screen displays a dashed line animation while it takes a reading. After the animation sequence (under 2 seconds), the display shows the temperature reading. The appropriate fever light color is displayed on screen and the confirmation beep is heard.

If the thermometer is positioned too far away from the forehead, it will prompt you to move the thermometer closer by displaying diagram and "0-2 cm". Slowly move the thermometer toward the forehead until the horizontal line animation starts and the temp

5. Read temperature

Remove the thermometer and read the temperature. For low (no backlight) and normal (green backlight) temperature range, you will hear a single long beep for 2 seconds. For fever (yellow backlight) and possible high fever (red backlight) temperature range, you will hear 10 short beeps.

To repeat

Go to step 3.

6. To turn off

Press the power button to turn off. Device will also shut off automatically after 60 seconds of no use.

Temperature-taking hints

It is important to know each individual's normal temperature when they are well. This is the only way to accurately diagnose a fever. Take multiple readings when healthy to determine normal temperature.

A child's normal temperature can be as high as 37.7 °C (99.9 °F) or as low as 36.1 °C (97.0 °F). Be sure to note this unit reads 0.5 °C (0.9 °F) lower than a rectal digital measurement.

Patient must be inside for 30 minutes before taking a measurement.

Note: Patient and the thermometer should be in the same ambient temperature for at least 10 minutes.

Always hold the thermometer and the forehead steady when taking a reading. Do not move the thermometer until you hear the final beep. Don't take a measurement while or immediately after nursing a baby.

Patients should not drink, eat, or be physically active before/while taking the measurement. Remove hats and wait 10 minutes before taking a measurement.

Before taking a measurement, remove dirt or hair from the forehead area. Wait 10 minutes after cleaning before taking measurement.

Always take the temperature exactly as directed. Temperature results may vary if positioned in the wrong location.

For patients measuring their own temperature, it is recommended to use the "touch" option instead of "no touch."

In the following situations it is recommended that three temperatures in the same location be taken and the highest one taken as the reading:

• Newborn infants in the first 100 days.
• Children under three years of age with a compromised immune system and for whom the presence or absence of fever is critical.
• When the user is learning how to use the thermometer for the first time until he/she has familiarized himself/herself with the instrument and obtains consistent readings.
  General precautions:
• Remove any sweat prior to measuring with a dry cloth.
• Avoid any cooling or warming cloths on the forehead for at least 30 minutes prior to measurement.
• Do not take temperature measurements over scar tissue, open sores or abrasions.
• Keep the measurement sensor and lens clean. Avoid directly touching the sensor or lens.
  • Always store the thermometer with the protective cap in place to prevent dirt and scratches from damaging the device.
• Make sure to remove the protective cap before taking a measurement and to put the cap back on after using the thermometer.
