Usage
Ensure hands are clean and the Braun ThermoScan ear thermometer is ready for use according to the device instructions.
Remove a single probe cover from the dispensing box, avoiding contact with the tip that will enter the ear canal.
Attach the probe cover to the thermometer by pushing the probe into the cover holder until it clicks or locks into place, following the Braun ThermoScan Pro 4000/6000 probe cover installation guide.
Confirm that the cover is securely seated and fully covering the probe tip before inserting the thermometer into the patient’s ear.
Measure the temperature according to the thermometer’s operating instructions.
After measurement, eject and discard the used probe cover into an appropriate clinical waste container; do not attempt to reuse.
Fit a new probe cover before taking the next patient’s temperature.
Store the remaining covers in their original box to maintain cleanliness and protect from dust or damage.
Contraindications
Do not reuse probe covers; they are designed strictly for single use.
Not intended for use with non-compatible thermometer models or with non-ear thermometers.
Do not use if packaging or probe cover appears damaged, deformed or visibly contaminated.
Not for insertion into the ear canal without being mounted on the appropriate Braun ThermoScan thermometer probe.
Use with caution in patients with ear infections, inflammation, or injury according to clinical judgement and the thermometer’s instructions for use.
Adverse Effects
When used as directed, adverse effects are unlikely as the cover only contacts the outer ear canal via the thermometer probe.
Improper insertion of the thermometer probe (with or without the cover) may cause discomfort or minor irritation in the ear canal.
Use of damaged or deformed covers could, in rare cases, lead to inaccurate temperature measurement; always discard defective covers.
Storage Conditions
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
Keep in original cartons until use to protect from dust, moisture and physical damage.
Avoid storing near chemicals, liquids or sources of contamination.
Do not expose packaging to crushing or bending that could deform the probe covers.
Keep out of reach of children and non-clinical staff.
Duration
Not applicable as a therapeutic treatment; the probe cover is used for the duration of a single ear temperature measurement (typically a few seconds) and then discarded immediately after use.
Onset
Immediate barrier function and support for accurate measurement upon correct placement of the probe cover on the thermometer before taking a reading.
