NEW Braun ThermoScan 7 with Age Precision IRT6520 Unique age-adjustable fever
guidance technology takes the guesswork out of interpreting your
child’s temperature!
Clinical research shows that the definition of fever changes with a
child’s age. What is a normal temperature in a four year old, can be a fever
in a newborn. Age is the determining factor. To help you interpret your
child’s temperature more confidently, we have developed the new Braun
ThermoScan 7 (IRT6520) with patented Age Precision technology. Simply select
your child’s age, take their temperature and the colour coded display will
help you understand the temperature reading, based on the age of the child, and
act accordingly.
By selecting Braun ThermoScan 7, you are choosing the no.1 thermometer brand
among doctors*. Thanks to its patented pre-warmed tip, Braun ThermoScan ear
thermometers are already regarded as a benchmark for accuracy, and are widely
used and endorsed by doctors around Europe. The tip on other thermometers can
cool the area where the reading is taken, which can lead to inaccurate readings.
The tip on the ThermoScan is warmed before use, to ensure professional accuracy.
Plus, the ExacTemp guidance system confirms the correct position and accurate
reading with a light and a beep. Now with new Age Precision technology Braun
ThermoScan gives you even more reassurance when it comes to interpreting your
child’s temperature. Discover all of the features of Braun ThermoScan
7 IRT6520.
Why is the ear an excellent site to measure temperature?
Braun ThermoScan measures the infrared heat generated by the eardrum and
surrounding tissue. Infrared heat is the natural warmth emitted by our body.
When the Braun ThermoScan IRT is placed in the ear, it continuously monitors the
infrared heat emitted by the eardrum and surrounding tissue. Since the eardrum
shares blood supply with the temperature control center in the brain, the ear
accurately reflects the core body temperature. As a result, when the temperature
rises, it is immediately detectable in the ear.
Patented pre-warmed tip and ExacTemp technology for professional
accuracy
Unlike other thermometers, Braun ThermoScan ear thermometer features a patented
pre-warmed tip that minimizes the cooling effect of a cool probe tip. Whereas
the tip of other thermometers can cool the area within the ear where the
temperature is being measured, resulting in variable or inaccurate readings, the
patented pre-warmed tip on the ThermoScan is pre-warmed before use, to ensure
professional accuracy that you can rely on, time and time again. The soft
speculum and tip also ensures the thermometer is gentle and comfortable on a
child’s ear. Plus, the ExacTemp guidance system confirms the correct position
and accurate reading with a light and a beep.
Suitable to take temperature for all ages
The probe of Braun ThermoScan was designed to avoid damaging the eardrum,
regardless of the person’s age. Even though the probe does not fit into the
ear canal of a new-born, clinical studies have confirmed that accurate
temperature readings can still be obtained in this age group when the Braun
ThermoScan is used very carefully.
Age Precision takes away the guesswork
Clinical research shows that the definition of fever changes as newborns grow
into little kids and little kids grow into adults. What is a fever in a newborn
can be a normal temperature in a four year-old.
Doctors know this, but many parents do not. To help you interpret your
child’s temperature more confidently, based on the age of your child, Braun
has developed unique Age Precision technology.
In short, Age Precision helps you to interpret your child’s temperature
taking into account their exact age. With new Age Precision, you get the
accuracy and peace of mind you need.
Taking temperature with Age Precision is easy
With new Age Precision technology, you can take and interpret the temperature of
a child or any family member in three simple steps:
Step 1
Set your child’s age with the Age Precision button.
Step 2
Take the temperature.
Step 3
The colour coded fever indicator will help you understand and interpret the
results and act accordingly – green (normal temperature), yellow (elevated
temperature) and red (high temperature).
What to do when the fever indicator shows green, yellow or red?
If there are symptoms, such as unusual irritability, unresponsiveness, weakness,
vomiting, diarrhea, dry skin, unusual thirst, seizure, loss of appetite, or
changes in activity, you should contact a doctor regardless of whether the
thermometer shows green, yellow, or red.
If temperature readings are in the red range, you should speak with a doctor
whether or not there are symptoms. Someone who has an elevated temperature in
the yellow range and also feels sick (or appears to be sick), should speak with
a doctor to find out whether or not to come into the medical office. You may
choose not to consult a physician only if the indicator is green and there are
no symptoms. When in doubt about the symptoms, always consult your physician.
High fever in children should be a concern. High fever usually is a sign of
infection, which can be either viral or bacterial. In young children, there is a
chance that the infection can be meningitis or sepsis, both of which can be very
serious. Very young babies may not have high fevers even when they have
infections, so even a temperature that is only slightly higher than normal may
be a sign of infection in an infant. In infants, even a small rise in
temperature must be taken seriously. To be on the safe side, if temperature
readings are elevated or high, especially if your child has symptoms along with
fever, you should consult a doctor immediately. The doctor will ask about
symptoms, because without symptoms even a high temperature may not be cause for
alarm.
