Mercurial thermometer is the traditional method to measure patient’s body temperature. The defects are long response time and low accuracy.

Many large hospitals now apply electronic thermometer. The features are: short response time, high accuracy and easy to read data, what’s more, it has memory function. In clinical application, its features are exceptional.

The temperature probe is a sensitive component. Usually one or serveral high precisionNTC thermistors are chosen to be the temperature measuring probe. They are related directly to the accuracy and response time of the output temperature. This type of temperature sensor can measure human body temperature in 4 seconds (shortest time) which is serveral times higher than traditional mercurial thermometer, so the advantages are very exceptional.
