Tips for Buying a Thermometer
1. Intermittent electronic thermometers should measure a patient's temperature at oral, rectal, and axillary sites. The measurement range should be 90-108
2. These thermometers are used for periodic temperature measurements and return final temperatures in under 90 seconds.
3. Thermometers have a disposable probe cover or are a one-piece probe thermometer. They should carry an adequate supply of probe covers that minimizes the likelihood of probe spilling and contamination. The probe cover should be smooth with no sharp edges. It should be easy to apply and remove them with minimal user contact to avoid contamination. Separate probes for oral and rectal use should be prominently labeled so that they cannot be mistaken, even with the probe cover in place.
