mpa(dot)DOT™ uses a dot sensor matrix consisting of temperature sensitive indicating dots. Each dot changes color from tan to blue at a specific temperature relative to the melting point of the specific chemical mixture in the dot. Each dot changes color at a temperature of 0.2°F or of 0.1°C higher the preceding dot. Body temperature is read from a numerical temperature scale. Tempa(dot)DOT B thermometers are sensitive to environmental temperature.

• Single-use thermometer reduces risk of patient infection from drug-resistant organisms.
• Provides consistently accurate temperature readings for reliable patient assessment.
• Easy to read and simple to understand.
• Versatile thermometer can be used to take oral or axillary temperatures, provides a fast reading in 60 seconds for oral temperature, and allows you to check other patient vital signs simultaneously with temperature taking. 
• No risk of toxic mercury exposure makes this thermometer a nontoxic and safe choice for patients of all ages.
