How can NexTemp single-use (disposable) thermometers be cost-effective when compared to “free” electronic predictive or tympanic thermometers we use with probe covers?
A. NexTemp usually costs about the same as the probe cover alone and probe covers can t take temperatures. Other major points to be considered include: • No hardware means no capital equipment cost, no warranty charges, and no need to constantly recalibrate units. There is no involvement of the biomedical engineering department, no search for lost or stolen instruments, no need to set up computerized access tracking systems, no forced obsolescence, etc. – all of which add to the real cost of taking each temperature.
