Glossary

Measurement duration

The time it takes for a thermometer to provide a temperature reading, from contact or activating the IR sensor to obtaining the result, is crucial for efficiency. Quick measurements save time during temperature checks. However, it's important to mention that for axillary use (see "Application area"), it's advised to keep the thermometer in place for a minimum of 5 minutes, irrespective of the manufacturer's specified measurement time, due to the nature of the procedure.

Measurement range

The range of temperatures that a thermometer can measure.

For measuring body temperature, a range of 35 – 43 °C is considered ample, covering values encountered in individuals with high fever or hypothermia. Although modern medical thermometers may have broader ranges, especially those designed for water and air temperature measurement (e.g., -20 – 100 °C), when used for body temperature, they typically operate within a narrower range. The overall and "solid" measurement ranges are often specified separately in these thermometers.

Flexible tip

The presence of a flexible tip in the design. This feature is characteristic only for contact models (see "Type") — it is not required for an IR thermometer. A flexible tip can in some cases simplify the use of the thermometer (particularly for rectal measurements) and also reduce the risk of breakage (for example, a small child trying to break the device will only bend it instead).

Power source

Type of batteries used in thermometers.

— AA. The ubiquitous battery, commonly found everywhere batteries are sold, operates at 1.5 volts, making it widely accessible.

— AAA. The batteries, which are a compact alternative to AA batteries with the same 1.5V voltage, are widely used and suitable for small devices.

— CR2032. One of the most popular types of batteries, with a diameter of 20 mm and a thickness of 3.2 mm. Actual for use in compact devices.
