#### Device description న్.

The Wearable Digital Thermometer consists of a host, App software and stickers. A comprehensive Android and iOS App are provided to access the host from a smart device. It is used for measuring and monitoring armpit temperature in real-time continuously and remotely via Bluetooth to smart device. The medical double-sided sticker are used to fix and stick the host in the user`s axilla.

The NTC temperature sensor is located closely to the stainless steel sheet that make sure the accuracy of temperature data measured.

The subject device could measure and monitor temperature in real-time continuously and remotely via Bluetooth to smart phone.

The Temp Pal is the combination device of thermometer and Bluetooth communication unit intended to be worn at axilla to monitor the armpit temperature continuously. The subject device is a direct mode clinical thermometer where the output temperature is not adjusted.

For the monitoring operation, switch the thermometer on and stick the thermometer in the user's axilla. The thermometer will make a Bluetooth connection between the thermometer and the receiver automatically (User should setup Bluetooth properly on receiver). Then the thermometer starts to measure the body temperature.

The wireless thermometer uses a rechargeable battery for operation.

When the battery is low, internal circuit will detect the low battery condition automatically and send "low battery" signal through Bluetooth communication unit to receiver.

Power source: Battery 3.0V/10mAh

Operation mode: Direct mode
