Throw away the Germs! Individually wrapped Disposable single-use NexTemp® thermometers are designed to reduce the risk of cross infection or reinfection that could occur with other thermometer systems. Simply discard the thermometer after patient use.
Convenient and Economical: NexTemp® thermometers are less expensive than any other type of thermometer. They require no special storage conditions, batteries, covers or recalibration processes. NexTemps are available in disposable and/or reusable models. (Fahrenheit or Celsius)
Easy to Use: NexTemp® thermometers are easier to use and read compared to predecessor dot-matrix thermometers.
Safe: NexTemp thermometers replace dangerous glass/mercury, digital electronic and tympanic thermometers. NexTemp thermometers and packaging contain no latex and are non-toxic. They conform to ASTM E1299-96 safety requirements.
Accurate: NexTemp® color-change thermometers have been proven under strict clinical conditions and meet stringent ASTM accuracy requirements.
Convenient and Versatile: NexTemp® can be used for oral, axillary and with the NexTemp sheath, for rectal temperatures.
Introduction:
The NexTemp® Thermometer is a single-use Disposable 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 axillary. The final black dot records the temperature. NexTemp Thermometers are individually sealed in a sterile wrapper.
Product Overview and Description:
NexTemp® Thermometers 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 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 (melt phenomenon). 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.
The accuracy of the NexTemp® Thermometer equals or exceeds that of glass-mercury and electronic thermometers and has been proven by millions of accurate temperature readings around the world over the past decade. The dot matrix technology meets strict ASTM accuracy requirements. As with all oral thermometers, factors to be aware of that may cause incorrect readings are: the consumption of cold/hot drinks prior to the procedure or inconsistent placement of the thermometer during the procedure.
The Precision Phase Change dot matrix technology requires only 2 milligrams of the chemical combination to fill each individual dot. The chemicals used have undergone extensive toxicity, irritation and sensitization analysis similar to tests done on controlled substances for daily oral use including items such as toothpaste and mouthwash. Results prove the compound to be non-hazardous, with fewer reactions than the toothpaste and mouthwash. This system contains no potentially toxic materials (batteries in digital thermometers or mercury in glass thermometers). This system presents no significant disposal problems and eliminates the danger of glass ingestion or mercury poisoning that can result from the routine damage to a glass thermometer.
Quality assurance procedures are conducted on the chemical compound in its original format, during the on-line production process and finally, on samples of the finished product. Batches of 50,000 devices are tested in multiple water baths for accuracy. If even one of the more than 500 randomly sampled devices fails to measure temperature precisely across the ASTM prescribed range, the entire batch is "failed". In this way, the consumer is always receiving the highest quality product.
Features and Benefits:
Accurate - NexTemp Precision Phase Change (PPC) Thermometers have been proven under clinical conditions and meet stringent ASTM accuracy requirements.
Easy to use - NexTemp 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 - NexTemp 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 NexTemp Thermometers just about anywhere. Unlike older dot-matrix thermometers, NexTemp requires only normal storage conditions. NexTemp 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 NexTemp 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.
