Core Body Temperature Measuring Device
US Patent:
2013025, Sep 26, 2013
Filed:
Mar 26, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/430612
Inventors:
Kenneth P. Gross - Lincoln NE, US
International Classification:
A61B 5/01
US Classification:
600549
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device and method for measuring core body temperature. The device utilizes a wire-bound thermistor passing through an adjustable memory foam such that the thermistor is exposed. The adjustable feature of the memory foam permits it to slide back and forth along the wire. The thermistor, having a resistance which varies with temperature, is inserted into the aural canal of the ear of a person, or the nostril of a person, in such a way that the thermistor does not come into contact with the wall of the aural canal or ear, or the wall of the nostril, thereby ensuring comfort to the person whose core body temperature is to be measured. The memory foam permits the device to seal out ambient air during the measurement thereby ensuring an accurate temperature measurement.
