A temperature measurement device that includes: a tube; and a temperature sensor unit within the tube. The temperature sensor unit includes a flexible sheet and a plurality of temperature sensor elements on the flexible sheet.

A temperature measurement system includes a temperature probe including a temperature sensor. The system also includes a reader, and a controller in communication with the temperature sensor and the reader. The system further includes a container housing a plurality of probe covers associated with the temperature probe. The container includes an information feature providing information related to the plurality of probe covers. The reader is configured to read the information and direct a signal to the controller indicative of the information.

At least one indicator light is located on the body or probe sections of a thermometer to indicate to the user that adjustments should be made to the timing or probe cover positioning of the thermometer. Additionally or alternatively the thermometer retains and displays information from previous uses, and in particular displays information pertaining to how long ago the last temperature measure was taken. Additionally, the thermometer may include additional buttons which can function to toggle the display to provide various types of information to the user, or toggle between thermometer usage modes, icon display, and LED color, among others. In another aspect, an internal body section with an access door provides access to a button allowing the user to toggle the interface of the thermometer, such as whether the temperature output is in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Centigrade.

A flavored sleeve assembly for imparting a flavor to an oral thermometer includes a sleeve that may be slid onto a temperature probe when the temperature probe is inserted into a mouth. A flavor layer is coupled to the sleeve. The flavor layer imparts a flavor in the mouth thereby enhancing an appeal of having the sleeve being positioned within the mouth.

A protective cover for an insertion probe of a medical instrument. The cover contains a flexible tubular body that compliments the probe geometry and a radially disposed flange that surrounds the proximal end of the body. A series of snap-on fasteners removably connect the cover to the instrument. A camming surface is located on the outer face of the flange which coacts with a cam follower that is movably mounted upon the instrument to flex the cover sufficiently to open the fastener and release the cover from the instrument and move the cover axially toward the distal end of the tip.

A box-packed ear thermometer probe cover capable of preventing contact infection comprises a packing box, a plurality of stacked ear thermometer probe covers, and a cover holder, wherein an opening which can be opened and closed is formed in the top of the packing box, a long slot is formed in a side face of the packing box, ear thermometer probe covers are placed in the packing box, each ear thermometer probe cover comprises a container structure and a container space, a cover holder is disposed below the lowest ear thermometer probe cover and comprises a sealing wall, a top surface and a suspension structure suspended on the top surface, the ear thermometer probe covers are supported by the cover holder, and the sealing wall extends upwards to the opening and seals the long slot.

An animal wellness notification system includes an attachment body configured to securely engage with an ear of the animal; an elongated temperature probe secured to the attachment body and configured to extend within the ear of the animal; a housing secured to the attachment body; a computer disposed within the housing and operably associated with the temperature probe; and a notification device in data communication with the computer, the notification device being configured to provide notice if a temperature of the animal goes beyond a determined threshold.
