Why Braun Sensian™ Swipe 5?
Measurement in 3 seconds
The Braun TempleSwipe™ Technology allows measurement of temple
temperature in just 3 seconds .
Accurate and reliable
Thanks to Braun TempleSwipe™ Technology, the Sensian™ Swipe 5
thermometer captures the heat naturally given off by the temple to calculate
oral equivalent temperature .
Easy to use
The Sensian™ Swipe 5 thermometer is non-invasive . A measurement can be
taken even while a child is sleeping .
Design is easy to hold and use .
The Braun Sensian™ Swipe 5 thermometer is safer to use on a child than a rectal
thermometer and is easier to use than other methods .
Safe and hygienic
Helps minimize spreading of germs .
Completely safe for use on children and adults .
Auto-Display memory
The last reading is automatically displayed for 2 seconds when the unit is
switched ON .
How does Braun Sensian™ Swipe 5 work?
The Braun Sensian™ Swipe 5 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 .
This captured energy is collected through the sensor and converted to an oral equivalent
temperature value .
The Braun Sensian™ Swipe 5 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 .
Colour-coded fever guidance
Colour-coded fever 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 .
