· The AMITemp Thermometer is a single-use thermometer that is made of an unbreakable, flexible plastic and contains no toxic substances. It records an accurate temperature in 60 seconds orally, or 3 minutes under the arm. The last in a series of dots to turn black dot shows the temperature. AMITemp Thermometers are individually sealed in a clean, non-latex wrapper and are perfect for clinical, home, travel, and other uses.
· Accurate: AMITemp Precision Phase Change (PPC) Thermometers have been proven under clinical conditions and meet stringent ASTM accuracy requirements.
· Easy to use: AMITemp Thermometers are easy to use and easier to read than predecessor dot-matrix thermometers. Contrasting color pattern and new enhanced signal "embossed" dots improves visibility under a wide variety of lighting conditions.
· Convenient and Versatile: AMITemp Thermometers can be used orally or axillary. They are self-contained with no circuits, no moving parts, no probe covers, and no recalibration. Offers a wide temperature range Fahrenheit 96.0 degrees to 104.8 degrees and Celsius 35.5 degrees to 40.4 degrees.
· No special storage conditions required: You can use AMITemp Thermometers just about anywhere. Unlike older dot-matrix thermometers, AMITemp requires only normal storage conditions. AMITemp will not "fire" prematurely, nor do they require placing in a freezer for hours to "reset". A truly "No-Hassle" instrument.
· Non-Toxic: Replaces dangerous glass-mercury thermometers. Eliminates toxic disposal waste problems. Conforms to ASTM E-1296 and NIST 250-23.
· Hygienic: Each individually sealed AMITemp.Thermometer is designed to help reduce the risk of cross-infection or re-infection that could occur with other thermometry systems.
· Economical: There is no additional cost necessary for probe covers, batteries, recalibration, maintenance of units or disinfecting solutions.
· Indicate temperature via a grid of dots that serve as the temperature-reading device. Each row of dots on the grid represents increments of measure ranging from 96.0 degrees to 104.8 degrees in Fahrenheit and 35.5 degrees to 40.4 degrees in Celsius. The dots are made up of non-toxic compounds that cause the dots to change to black in relation to an increase in temperature. The last dot to turn black indicates the correct temperature. The thermometer will reset itself after about 30 to 45 seconds and all the dots will return to their jewel-like green state. This reversibility feature allows the thermometers to be shipped and stored under conditions that require no special temperature control. They can withstand environmental temperatures as high as 140 degrees Fahrenheit without damaging their accuracy and readability.
· Place dot end of the thermometer as far back as possible under the tongue in either heat pocket, like a conventional glass thermometer. Have patient press down with their tongue on the thermometer while keeping their mouth closed. Wait at least one minute before removing. READ IMMEDIATELY. For children under 3 years, use under the arm.
