If the probe has been fitted securely into the ear canal during the complete measuring process, a long beep will signal the end of the measuring process. You can be assured to have taken an accurate temperature reading. The result is shown on the display (5).

If you take the temperature of another person, the «ExacTemp» light (7) will be of help. It flashes during the measuring process as long as the probe is securely positioned, and lights up con- tinuously when an accurate reading has been taken.

4.If the probe has not been constantly placed in a stable position in the ear canal, a sequence of short beeps will sound, the «ExacTemp» light will go out and the display will show an error message («POS» = position error).

5.For the next measurement, eject the used lens filter (push ejector (4)) and put on a new, clean lens filter.

IRT 4020: Clear the display by pushing the «start» button once.

IRT 4520: Clear the display by pushing the «I/O» button once.

Wait for the ready signal. Fit the probe snuggly into the ear canal, then push the «start» button.

The Braun ThermoScan ear thermometer turns off automatically after 60 seconds of inactivity.

The IRT 4520 can also be turned off by pressing the «I/O» button for at least three seconds.

The display will shortly flash «OFF» and after releasing the button it will go blank.

Temperature taking hints

•The right ear reading may differ from the reading taken at 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 may influence ear temperatures, including when an individual has:

–been lying on one ear or the other

–had their ears covered

–been exposed to very hot or very cold tempera- tures, or

–been recently swimming or bathing.

IRT4520 specifications

The Braun IRT4520 is a highly regarded ear thermometer designed to provide accurate and quick temperature measurements for children and adults alike. This innovative device boasts several features and technologies that make it stand out in the crowded market of medical thermometers.

One of the key features of the IRT4520 is its advanced infrared technology. This enables the thermometer to capture heat emitted from the eardrum and surrounding tissue, providing a precise measurement in just seconds. This is particularly useful for parents who may find it challenging to keep their children still for extended periods during conventional thermometer readings.

The IRT4520 also includes a pre-warmed tip, which enhances accuracy. Unlike many other ear thermometers that measure temperature with a cold probe, the Braun design reduces the risk of inconsistencies by ensuring that the tip is at the optimal temperature before taking a reading. This feature is crucial for obtaining reliable results, especially in fluctuating environmental conditions.

Another notable characteristic of the IRT4520 is its user-friendly interface. The large, illuminated display makes it easy to read temperature measurements even in dim lighting conditions, which is particularly handy for late-night checks. Additionally, the thermometer provides a color-coded fever indicator. This feature quickly distinguishes between normal, elevated, and high fever levels, allowing users to make informed decisions about their health or the health of their family members swiftly.

The Braun IRT4520 is designed with practicality in mind. It includes a memory function that stores up to nine previous temperature readings, enabling users to track their temperature trends over time. This is especially beneficial for monitoring fever progression in children, providing peace of mind for concerned parents.

Furthermore, the thermometer is equipped with a protective cap that not only helps maintain hygiene but also ensures that the device can be easily cleaned between uses. The inclusion of a disposable lens filter reduces the risk of cross-contamination, promoting safe and hygienic measurements for multiple users.

In terms of convenience, the IRT4520 is portable and battery-operated, making it ideal for travel and on-the-go use. It combines efficiency, accuracy, and ease of use, making it a trusted choice in many households.

Overall, the Braun IRT4520 ear thermometer exemplifies cutting-edge technology and thoughtful design, ensuring that families have a reliable tool for monitoring health and fever with confidence and ease.
