How do these products differ from the disposable products we ve used in the past (with unsatisfactory results)?
A. The product you may have used is a predecessor device, an older generation thermometer (Temp-a-Dot). NexTemp is the next generation of single-use thermometers, improved because of the following: • It does not require controlled storage conditions; it can be carried in uniform pockets, left on windowsills, kept in warm automobiles or ambulances, and used in all environments. • It will not “overfire” if left in place longer than the recommended 60 seconds in the mouth or 3 minutes under the arm. Temp-a-Dot will overfire by at least 0.6F or 0.3C if left in place longer than the prescribed dwell time. • It has a shelf-life of at least 5 years and will retain its accuracy even if exposed to temperatures as high as 120F. Temp-a-Dot has a limited shelf life (2 years under extremely controlled storage conditions) and must be refrigerated for 24 hours and allowed to “recover” if it pre-fires in conditions above 96F. Even after the recovery process, accuracy is still not restored. Q. We curre
