Claims20
A thermometer comprising
- a controller and
- a temperature sensor coupled to the controller,
- wherein the temperature sensor is configured to receive a first temperature reading and the controller is configured to execute a timer having a limit value after the first temperature reading is received and disable user input to disallow re-measurement of a patient's temperature with the thermometer until the limit value of the timer is reached or exceeded.
A thermometer comprising
- a controller including a processor and
- a temperature sensor coupled to the controller and configured to receive a first temperature reading,
- wherein the controller is configured to
- execute a timer having a limit value after the first temperature reading is received,
- disable user input to disallow re-measurement of a patient's temperature with the thermometer,
- receive a plurality of environment temperature measurements from the temperature sensor,
- process the plurality of environment temperature measurements via the processor, and
- provide an error signal when the processing determines that one or more environment temperature measurements reaches or exceeds an environment temperature limit or reaches or exceeds a rate of environment temperature change limit.
