Hicks Oval Clinical Thermometer 1

Hicks O-01 Oval Thermometer is a classic mercury thermometer used for measuring body temperature quickly and accurately. Its unique oval design makes it easier to see the mercury level for accurate readings.  This multi-use thermometer works for underarm oral or rectal readings.  It is built to last and features a dual-scale display in Celsius and Fahrenheit with extra-large numbers for easy reading. However, since it contains mercury, proper handling and disposal are crucial.  

• Innovative Oval Design: The oval form allows for a wider viewing angle of the mercury column inside, making it significantly easier to see the exact reading. 
   
• Water-resistant: It has a waterproof body that allows safe and sanitary usage of the device before each use. It is easy to clean.
   
• Fast Measurement: It provides a safe, accurate and quick temperature reading.
   
• For oral, rectal and underarm temperature measurement: It is suitable for oral, rectal and underarm body temperature measurement.
   
• Flexible Tip: No, it has a rigid tip
   
• Accurate Measurements and Easy-to-Read Scale:  The Hicks O-01 is built with precision in mind. It delivers reliable temperature readings you can trust. Complementing this accuracy is a clear and easy-to-read scale with distinct markings. 
   
• Built to Last: This thermometer is constructed with sturdy materials to withstand everyday use. 

• Clinical thermometer for armpit use:  While labelled as a "clinical thermometer," the primary intended use is for taking temperatures at the armpit (axillary temperature). This method is generally considered safe and appropriate for most situations, especially for home use.
   
• Family Use: The Hicks O-01's versatility and user-friendly features like the easy-to-read scale make it suitable for home use to monitor the temperatures of family members, particularly children.
   
• Doctors and Hospitals: While digital thermometers are increasingly common in these settings, the Hicks O-01 might still be used as a backup or for specific situations where a healthcare professional deems it appropriate.
   
• Travel: The compact size and potentially waterproof nature (double-check with the seller) make it a portable option for travel, allowing you to monitor temperatures on the go.
   
• Shows both temperature deg C and deg F: The Hicks O-01 Oval Thermometer features a dual-scale display, meaning it shows temperature readings in both degrees Celsius (°C) and degrees Fahrenheit (°F). This provides users with the flexibility to choose the temperature scale they're most comfortable with.

• Before each use, clean the thermometer with rubbing alcohol or soapy water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and pat it dry with a clean cloth.
• With a firm grip, hold the end opposite the bulb and flick your wrist downward in a sharp motion to bring the mercury level down below the normal body temperature range.
• Choose your measurement site.
• Read the Temperature.
• Clean and Store.

• Read the label carefully before use.
• Store in a clean and dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Handle the thermometer with care.
• The thermometer should be washed before and after each use, preferably with an antiseptic solution.
• Do not bite on the thermometer, doing so may lead to breakage and/or injury.
