Fast - maximizing efficient patient care. Oral reading are obtained in 60 seconds. Axillary and rectal readings are available in just three minutes.
A day's supply is easily carried, left at the patient's bedside or stored in a handy Tempa DOT dispenser - eliminating needless thermometer search time.
No need to hold when taking temperature of adults - freeing a nurse to take other vital signs simultaneously. Available as a sterile unit - disinfection not necessary.
Comfortable - patients like the soft, flexible feel.
Disposable - eliminates time and labor spent on disinfection, recalibration, recharging and repair of
electronic and tympanic thermometers. Eliminates cost of probe covers and broken probe replacement.
Won't damage if accidentally dropped - thermometer is soft and flexible. Inexpensive if stolen - pennies per thermometer as opposed to the high replacement cost of electronic or tympanic units.
No mercury disposal/cost issues. Helps prevent longer hospital stays resulting from infections acquired by shared patient thermometry systems or misdiagnosis due to inaccurate temperatures.
3M TempaDot Thermometers are accurate, convenient, versatile and economical temperature measuring devices. Clinically accurate oral body temperature can be obtained in 60 seconds and axillary temps are available in 3 minutes. TempaDot uses a dot sensor matrix consisting of temperature sensitive dots. Each dot changes color from tan to bright blue at a specific temperature. These color changes occur at 0.2 degrees Fahrenheit or 0.1 degrees Celsius higher than the previous dot. Body temperature is read from the numerical temperature scale of the last blue dot.
Accuracy of the 3M TempaDot Thermometer is clinically certified to +/- 0.2 degrees Fahrenheit per ASTM Standard. The 3M TempaDot Thermometer has also been proven accurate for axillary use.
TempaDot Thermometers meet ASTM E 825-87 requirements, which include accuracy requirements for disposable fever thermometers. In addition, accuracy comparison to other types of thermometers has been proven in published clinical studies. 3M also has data available from an independent test laboratory (Ci-Tech data) supporting the accuracy of TempaDots.
Due to their accuracy, sterility and convenience, 3M TempaDot Thermometers are used and endorsed by the American Red Cross and other medical institutions throughout the world. 3M TempaDot Thermometers have even been taken on board NASA space shuttle missions.
