The new disposable thermometers from EPCOS are characterized by a high accuracy of up to ±0.1 K and a short response time of 7 s. This allows fast and simple measurement of a patient’s body temperature. The concept of these disposable sensors relies on the proven ceramic technology for NTC thermistors on a chip basis, the use of materials such as polypropylene qualified by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and new process technologies. |
