Tempa DOT™ Clinical Thermometer – specifically designed for high accuracy and the prevention of cross-contamination that can expose patients to infections such as C. difficile, MRSA, Norovirus, and Rotavirus. These infections are easily spread through casual person-to-person and object-to-person contact. Tempa•DOT™ thermometers circumvent this risk by providing a clean, sterile instrument that is used with a single patient and then discarded. Single use thermometer has accurate readings (in Fahrenheit) in just seconds! Measures temperature orally or axillary (under-arm) via special adhesive strip that holds themselves in place in the axillary position. Each dot changes color from tan to blue at a specific temperature relative to the melting point of the specific chemical mixture in the dot. Once the wait time is complete, the temperature reading is permanently locked in. Tempa•DOT™’s accuracy is the same as, or better than, other thermometers commonly used in a healthcare setting. Each of the dots has its own formulated temperature point that fires at a specific temperature. When a dot fires, its color changes from brown to blue. The number of dots that fire is dependent upon the patient’s temperature. The last blue dot provides the accurate temperature reading. It is important to remember that axillary temperature readings are routinely lower than corresponding oral temperature readings. This difference is normal and expected.
