Tempadot thermometer


A tempadot is a single-use, disposable clinical thermometer that can measure oral or axillary body temperature. Available in Fahrenheit or Celsius. Many Trusts use them for mothers and babies.

When my Waters broke, I was advised to go into Hos to be checked as wasnt having any pains etc etc . . . .they sent me home armed with a handful of these and told me to check my temp every 2-3 hours. It was a guessing game really. Just could not get them to work properly. Soon as I took it out of my mouth, it changed!!!!

Thats great feedback, thanks Cathryn, I understand my Trust doesnt use them as they can be unreliable...

Checked as accurate - K(RM)

We used to have them - I used to chuck them in the birthing pool to keep an eye on the water temp!
