Abstract
A disposable clinical thermometer, based on heat-sensitive crystals, was tested in 200 subjects and its performance compared to the available bedside instrument and an accurate British Standard thermometer. It was found to be accurate and reliable and its convenience and ease of reading made it readily acceptable to patients and staff. It has the overwhelming advantage of severance of a link in the chain of hospital cross-infection and merits widespread clinical trial.
