The case of the cold thermometers.

Abstract：

BACKGROUND:A temporal artery thermometer was introduced at our hospital. Immediately staff noted subnormal temperature readings. METHODS:Three serial evaluations of patient temperatures were done: August 2000 (initial), September 2000 (posteducation), and December 2000 (after removal of temporal artery thermometer). RESULTS:In the initial review, 89% of the readings were < 98.6 degrees F. Comparison of the readings from the last and first surveys showed a statistical increase in the proportion of readings > or =100.0 degrees F and decrease of readings <98.6 degrees F (P <.001). CONCLUSIONS:Our experience underscores the importance of performance data for quality monitoring of new products.
