User questions & answers

Question:	Is it necessary to used a thermometer cover
Answer:	If the machine works without one, then "My" opinion is no, they aren't necessary since I'm pretty sure they are for sanitary purposes only, (if using with more than one person). You can just wipe the tip with alcohol and dry it with a clean cloth.
Question:	Your product description describes these as "Our sheaths are non-sterile". Isn't this the opposite of what these covers should be? I want sterile
Answer:	Sterile is for bloodstream. Food and rectal products do not need to be sterile at all. There is just no need.

Why Measure in the Ear?

Braun ThermoScan measures the infrared heat generated by the eardrum and surrounding tissue. The ear accurately reflects the core body temperature because the eardrum shares the blood supply with the temperature control center in the brain, making the ear an excellent site to measure temperature. When core body temperature rises, it is quickly detectable in the ear.

Choose the Ear Thermometer Brand most used by Pediatricians.

Based on July 2017 Ardent Consulting Survey reporting that of the surveyed pediatricians who recommend a brand of thermometers to their patients, Braun is the most recommended brand, and of the surveyed pediatricians that use a branded thermometer, Braun is the most frequently used brand.

Great for Infants, Toddlers, and Adults

The Braun ThermoScan is designed to take the body temperature of your family in a fast, gentle and easy to use way and give you some peace of mind when your child comes down with a fever. Used by more pediatricians' offices than any other thermometer brand, the ThermoScan features a pre-warmed tip that improves accuracy, a unique guidance system that ensures precise results, and infrared technology that takes your child's temperature in seconds.

Pre-warmed tip with ExacTemp

Unlike other thermometers, Braun ThermoScan features a pre-warmed tip that minimizes the cooling effect that could result from the introduction of a cool probe tip. The patented pre-warmed tip helps ensure accuracy, measurement after measurement to a tenth of a degree. The patented ExacTemp positioning system confirms good position in the ear with a light and a beep to ensure accurate temperature measurement.

Disposable Lens Filters

Designed so you can easily switch between users without having to spend time cleaning the probe. Use a clean disposable hygienic lens filter with each measurement:

1) To maintain hygiene 2) to protect your child from cross-contamination 3) to ensure earwax residues do not impact accuracy of the reading.

Fast, Gentle, and Easy to Use

Speed of measurement is important, especially when measuring the temperature of a child. Braun ThermoScan accurately takes your child's temperature in just few seconds.

Recall Last Temperature Taken

Memory function recalls the last temperature reading allowing you to keep track of of fluctuations.

Hope that helps!
Question:	What’s the best way to clean this so not to damage the thermometer if sharing amongst the family
Answer:	You can clean the probe before and after use with a damp, soapy cloth or by disinfecting it with rubbing alcohol (70% isopropyl alcohol). Then, just wipe it dry with a soft cloth and you'll be all set! We hope that helps. :-)
Question:	Do you have to use the smart phone app to read the temp
Answer:	The Kinsa QuickCare smart thermometer can take and show temperature readings on its own, BUT there are some things you should know if you don't want to use any smart features. Out of the box, QuickCare shows "APP" on the display. This prompts you to connect with the Kinsa app before it will let you take readings. In a pinch, you can temporarily skip this APP message and take readings immediately by quickly double pressing the button. QuickCare will go into temperature taking mode and allow you to take readings. For a quick demo, watch this video: kinsa.help/skipAPPmessage But this is not how QuickCare was designed to work. If you're looking for just a simple thermometer without any smart features, this smart thermometer may not be a good fit for you. Got any more questions? Text us at (415) 236-4811 or get in touch at kinsa.help/ContactUs
Question:	Can this thermometer be used like a regular digital thermometer or does it work only with the app
Answer:	This Kinsa QuickCare thermometer can be used on its own - no app required. Click the button once to turn it on, then when APP appears on the display, double click the same button and you're done! APP will change to three flashing lines showing that it's ready to take a temperature. For a demonstration, watch this video: kinsa.help/skipAPP - The Kinsa Customer Happiness Team 😀

Medication

Important Tips for All Temperature Readings

• Always wait for three flashing lines on the display before every reading. Wait at least 15 minutes to take a reading after eating, drinking, exercising or bathing.
• If you or your Kinsa were outside on a cold day, wait until you are used to the new temperature before taking a reading.
• A person’s body temperature will fluctuate depending on the time of the day. The best method to determine your own normal temperature is to record it twice a day (early morning and late afternoon) when feeling well. The average of the two is considered your normal body temperature.

Underarm Readings

Wipe armpit with a dry towel and make sure that no clothes are in the way. Place the thermometer probe in the armpit and keep your arm pressed firmly against the body. In general, a normal underarm temperature is considered 35.8°C - 37.2°C (96.5°F - 98.9°F). Also, please note that underarm readings are typically 0.6°C (1°F) lower than oral readings; this is perfectly normal. The Kinsa app automatically takes underarm readings into account when calculating the severity of the fever, but it does not artificially add that 0.6°C (1°F) to the temperature reading.

Oral Readings

For oral readings, always place the probe tip of the thermometer in your mouth’s heat pocket - under the tongue at the back of the mouth. Keep your mouth closed while the temperature reading is being taken. The temperature in one spot of the mouth can be very different from another so always put the probe tip in the same heat pocket for every reading. A normal oral temperature is considered 36.1°C - 37.7°C (97.0°F - 99.9°F).

Rectal Readings

Consider applying a bit of petroleum jelly on the QuickCare tip to make it easier to insert. Place your baby on a firm surface, either on her stomach or back, with legs lifted up to the chest (think diaper-changing position). Insert the probe tip about ½ inch inside the rectum. Never insert the probe past the metal tip. Stop if you meet any resistance. Hold QuickCare between two fingers while keeping your hand cupped around your baby's bottom (you might need to squeeze the cheeks together to hold it in place). Remember, rectal temperatures tend to be about 0.3°C (0.5°F) higher than oral and 0.6°C (1°F) higher than underarm readings. In general, a normal rectal temperature is considered 36.4°C - 37.9°C (97.5°F - 100.3°F). If you'd like to verify your results, be sure to wait 5 minutes first for the most accurate second reading.

Did You Know?

Kinsa is on a mission to stop illness from spreading and that mission is more vital today than it has ever been before.

Kinsa took the most common health device in the world, the thermometer, and reimagined it by connecting it to the smartphone to create the earliest and most accurate illness tracking system.

To understand where illness is spreading in real-time, Kinsa aggregates anonymous temperatures and symptoms via Kinsa smart thermometers. Kinsa then give this information back to you, Kinsa users, through the Kinsa app and the Kinsa HealthWeather Map, empowering you with the knowledge you need to keep you and your loved ones informed about what's going around.
