What is Age Precision® technology?

Age Precision® technology takes away the guesswork from temperature measurement. Clinical research shows that the definition of fever changes as newborns grow into little children, and little children grow into adults.* When a newborn has a fever, it can be the same as a four-year-old having a normal temperature.** Braun has developed this simple and easy to use Age Precision® technology which helps to interpret your baby or child’s temperature more confidently based on their age.

This thermometer features age-adjustable fever guidance to take the guesswork out of temperature reading. To ensure accurate results, the thermometer should be in the room where the temperature will be taken for at least 10 minutes, and the person who will have their temperature taken should be in the room for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement. Remove any hair or sweat on forehead before taking a reading. Then, follow the steps below to take an accurate reading.

Remove protective cap and turn the device on using the ''on/off'' button.
To use the no touch method - position thermometer 2.5cm away from the forehead.

Use the same position each time, in the middle of the forehead, in between the eyebrows.

If you are measuring your own temperature, it is recommended to use the “touch” option instead of “no touch” option for convenience purposes.

How do I measure my blood pressure?

Measuring your blood pressure can be quick and easy with Braun blood pressure monitors. When monitoring your blood pressure, readings should be taken at the same time of day, under the same conditions using the same arm.

Measurements should not be taken within 30 minutes of smoking, drinking coffee or tea or any form of exertion as they will factor into the measurement. Therefore, ensure you have at least 5-10 minutes of quiet rest before taking a measurement. If you want to take multiple measurements, wait approximately three minutes between measurements. The left arm is recommended.

What is a nasal aspirator?

A nasal aspirator is a small suction device that provides support to babies to help clear up the blockage or mucus that has built up in the nose. It helps to comfort the baby as they will naturally be able to breathe more easily. Nasal aspirators are perfectly safe to use and should be used correctly for desired results.

The tube is placed into the nostril and it sucks up the mucus which is deposited in a separate container, making it easy to dispose of. Please see the next FAQ to find out how to use the Braun nasal aspirator. Please see instruction leaflet for any further information.
