People who are on antibiotics, analgesics, or antipyretics should not be assessed solely on temperature readings to determine the severity of their illness.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 the temperature on:
- Neonates and infants under 3 months (Consult your physician immediately if the temperature exceeds 99.4 °F [37.4 °C])
- Individuals over 60 years of age (Fever may be blunted or even absent in elderly Individuals.)
- Individuals having diabetes mellitus or a weakened immune system (e.g.,HIV positive, cancer chemotherapy, chronic immunosuppressant treatment, splenectomy)
- Individuals who are bedridden due to stroke, chronic illness, surgical recovery, paraplegia, quadriplegia.
- A transplant recipient (e.g., liver, heart, lung, kidney)
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.This thermometer is not intended for pre-term babies or small-for-gestational-age newborn (birth to 4 weeks of age) babies. Pre-term is defined as babies born before 37 weeks of gestation. Small-for-gestational-age is defined as a newborn baby, born at 37 weeks or later, with a weight below the 10th percentile for newborn babies of the same gestational age.This thermometer is not intended to interpret hypothermic temperatures.DO NOT allow children to take their temperatures unattended.DO NOT modify this equipment without the authorization of the manufacturer.This thermometer is intended for household use only.Use of this TempleSwipe™ Thermometer is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your physician or pediatrician.
Why use the Braun TempleSwipe™ Thermometer?
Measurement in 3 secondsThe innovative infrared technology allows the measurement of forehead temperature in 3 seconds.
Accurate and reliableDue to advanced technology, the TempleSwipe™ Thermometer captures the heat naturally given off by the forehead to calculate oral equivalent temperature.
Easy to useThe TempleSwipe™ Thermometer is non-invasive. A measurement can be taken even while a child is sleeping.Design is easy to hold and use.The TempleSwipe™ Thermometer is safer to use on a child than a rectal thermometer and is easier to use than other methods.
Safe and hygienicHelps minimize the spreading of germs.Completely safe for use on children and adults.Auto-Display memoryThe last reading is automatically displayed for 2 seconds when the unit isswitched ON.
How the Braun TempleSwipe™ Thermometer works
The TempleSwipe™ Thermometer measures infrared energy radiated from the skin above the eyebrow area, the temple, and the surrounding tissue.Temperature readings obtained by scanning the temple area will provide the greatest accuracy.The TempleSwipe™ Thermometer has been clinically tested and proven to be safe and accurate when used in accordance with its operating instruction manual.Normal temperature is a range. The range of normal also varies from person to person and fluctuates throughout the day. It is, therefore, important to determine your normal temperature range.The best way to determine your normal temperature range is to use the thermometer when feeling well. Record readings twice a day (early morningand late afternoon). Take the average of the two temperatures to calculate the normal oral equivalent temperature.A child’s normal temperature can be as high as 99.9°F or as low as 97.0°F.Remeasure with a standard digital thermometer for confirmation, especially on infants.Fever guidance featureFever guidance helps you to better understand the meaning of your child’s temperature with the color indicated on the display. The screen displays green for a normal temperature, yellow for a fever, and red for a high fever.
| Color range | Reading | Meaning |
| Green | 96.4 °F – 99.4 °F(35.8 °C – 37.4 °C) | Normal |
| Yellow | >99.4 °F – 101.3 °F(>37.4 °C – 38.5 °C) | Fever |
| Red | >101.3°F(>38.5°C) | High fever |
How to use your Braun TempleSwipe™ Thermometer
First-time useInsert 2 AAA batteries (see page 8 for instructions).Remove the 98.6 °F labels from the display.
- Power onPress and release the power button once.Backlight will come on and the warm-up sequence starts. The last reading is automatically displayed for 2 seconds when the unit is switched ON.

To repeatGo to step 3.Temperature taking hints
Before having temperature measured, individuals should be indoors for at least 30 minutes.Hold the thermometer flush against the forehead and swipe slowly from above the eyebrow down to the temple, and back again. Swiping too slow or too fast may impact your reading.DO NOT remove the thermometer from the forehead before hearing the final beep.Nursing mothers should not take a temperature measurement on themselves or have their temperature measured by another individual while or immediately after nursing a baby, as nursing can affect body temperature.DO NOT use the TempleSwipe™ Thermometer in high humidity environments.Individuals should not drink, eat, or be physically active before/while taking the measurement.Before placing the thermometer sensor onto the forehead, remove dirt, hair,or sweat.Use an alcohol swab to carefully clean the sensor and wait for 5 minutes before taking a measurement on another Individual. Wiping the forehead with a warm or cool cloth may impact your reading. It is advised to wait 15 minutes before taking a reading.ALWAYS take the temperature in the same location, since the temperature readings may vary from different locations on the forehead.In the following situations, it is recommended that three temperatures be taken and the highest one used as the reading:
- Infants within the first 100 days of their birth.
- 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.
