Measurement in under 2 seconds
The innovative infrared technology allows measurement of forehead
temperature in under 2 seconds whether you use the contact or non-contact
option .
Accurate and reliable
Due to the unique technology, the Braun Sensian™ 7 thermometer captures
the heat naturally given off by the forehead to calculate body temperature
value . Get the same professional accuracy whether touching your child's
forehead or holding up to 2 .5cm away .
Easy to use
The Braun Sensian™ 7 Non-contact forehead thermometer is non-invasive .
A measurement can be taken even while a child is sleeping .

How does Braun Sensian™ 7 work?
The Braun Sensian™ 7 Non-contact forehead thermometer measures infrared energy radiated from
the skin at the center of the forehead just above the eyebrows . This captured energy is collected
through the lens and converted to an oral equivalent value .
The Braun Sensian™ 7 thermometer has been clinically tested and proven to be safe and
accurate when used in accordance with its operating instruction manual.

Temperature taking hints
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 .
2 sec
A child's normal temperature can be as high as 37 .7 °C (99 .9 °F) or as low as 36 .1 °C (97 .0 °F) . Be sure
to note this unit reads 0 .5 °C (0 .9 °F) lower than a rectal digital measurement .
An individual must be inside for 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
Note: The thermometer and individual should be in the same ambient temperature for at
least 10 minutes.
ALWAYS hold the thermometer and the forehead steady when taking a reading . DO NOT move the
thermometer until you hear the final beep . DO NOT take a measurement while or immediately
after nursing a baby .
Individuals should not drink, eat, or be physically active before/while taking the measurement .
Remove hats and wait 10 minutes before taking a measurement .
Before taking a measurement, remove dirt or hair from the forehead area . Wait 10 minutes after
cleaning before taking measurement .
ALWAYS take the temperature exactly as directed . Temperature results may vary if positioned in
the wrong location .
For individuals measuring their own temperature, it is recommended to use the contact option
instead of non-contact .
In the following situations it is recommended that three temperatures in the same location be
taken and the highest one taken as the reading:
•
Newborn infants in the first 100 days .
•
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 .
General precautions:
•
Remove any sweat prior to measuring with a dry cloth .
•
Avoid any cooling or warming cloths on the forehead for at least 30 minutes prior to
measurement .
•
DO NOT take temperature measurements over scar tissue, open sores, or abrasions .
•
Keep the measurement sensor and lens clean . Avoid directly touching the sensor or lens .
•
ALWAYS store the thermometer with the protective cap in place to prevent dirt and scratches
from damaging the device .
•
Make sure to remove the protective cap before taking a measurement and to put the cap back
on after using the thermometer .
