What type of thermometer is commonly used?

There are many kinds of thermometers, the common ones are glass thermometers and electronic thermometers.

The glass thermometer (medical thermometer) is only placed under the armpit to measure the temperature. Put the thermometer under the armpit, close the armpit tightly, take it out after 5~ 10 minutes, and check it horizontally. When measuring body temperature, you can clearly see the mercury column, which will keep its original position with the increase of body temperature, which is convenient for users to observe their body temperature at any time.

The electronic thermometer can be placed under the armpit or in the mouth to measure the temperature, and the temperature will be displayed on the electronic display screen. The electronic thermometer uses the temperature sensor to output the electrical signal, directly outputs the digital signal, or converts the current signal into a digital signal that can be recognized by the internal integrated circuit, and then displays the temperature in digital form through the display, so that the highest value of the measured temperature can be recorded and read.

The use of thermometers;

1. Before using the thermometer, the head of the thermometer should be disinfected with alcohol.

2. Press the switch, and the buzzer will beep immediately, and the display will be as shown in Figure A for about 2 seconds.

3. Then the monitor displays the temperature of the last lateral vector, as shown in Figure B (if the last measurement is 36.5℃), and the well lasts for about 2 seconds. The display will display a flashing "℃" symbol, indicating that the thermometer is in standby state. (In this case, if the room temperature is higher than 32℃, the thermometer will show the room temperature instead of as shown in Figure D, and the symbol "℃" will keep flashing. )

Take your temperature with a thermometer. When measuring body temperature, the temperature value rises gradually and the symbol "℃" flashes continuously.

5. When the heating rate is less than 0 in 16 seconds, and 1℃, the "℃" symbol stops flashing and the thermometer buzzes for about 5 seconds. At this time, the thermometer can read the displayed temperature value after measurement.

6. The thermometer has the function of automatic shutdown, and it will automatically shut down within 10 minute after the measurement. However, in order to prolong the battery life, users are advised to press the power button to turn off the power supply after the measurement.
