Oral Data
Oral temperatures ranged from 97.1° F (36.16° C) to
102.6° F (39.22° C). The total number of data sets were
91, with 27 of those being febrile. Subjects ranged in
age from 11 years to 87 years. The average error was
-0.03° F (-0.016° C) with a Standard Deviation of 0.358° F
(0.198° C).
Adult Axillary Data (18 years and older)
Adult Axillary temperatures ranged from 93.7° F (34.27°
C) to 105.0° F (40.55° C). The total number of data sets
were 92, with 29 of those being febrile. Subjects ranged
in age from 18 years to 85 years. An equal number of
adult axillary data sets were collected from three age
groups: 18 years to 30 years, 31 years to 60 years, and
65+ years. The average error was -0.10° F (-0.055° C)
with a Standard Deviation of 0.373° F (0.207° C).
Rectal Data
Rectal temperatures ranged from 97.1° F (36.16° C) to
102.9° F (39.38° C). The total number of data sets were 40,
with 12 of those being febrile. Subjects ranged in age from
7 months to 79 years. The average error was 0.01° F
(0.005° C) with a Standard Deviation of 0.290° F (0.160° C).
Statistically, analyses show no clinically significant
differences between the predicted temperatures and the
monitor mode reference temperatures from the SureTemp
Plus in the oral, adult axillary, and rectal modes. The
researchers of this study support the use of this
thermometer in today's fast-paced clinical setting. The
accuracy and speed of the device provides clinicians with
an added level of confidence when assessing and caring
for their patients.
