- Dots are a bright green color at normal room temperature.
- As the thermometer is warmed, the chemical dots turn black in sequence until the highest temperature is reached.
- The chemical dots will revert back to their original green state in a short period of time, so the unit can be reused, or thrown away according to directions.

Frequently asked questions
Does this thermometer prevent cross-contamination?
Yes. The NexTemp is specifically engineered for single-patient use, which helps significantly lower the risk of cross-infection between patients in busy clinical environments.
How precise are the temperature readings?
This device offers professional-grade accuracy of ± 0.2 °F, ensuring reliable data for patient assessment.
Are the materials safe for sensitive patients?
Absolutely. The thermometer is constructed from non-toxic materials and is completely mercury-free and latex-free, making it a safe choice for diverse patient populations.
How do I interpret the color dot display?
The display is highly intuitive: - At room temperature, dots appear bright green. - As the device reaches body temperature, the dots change to black in a progressive sequence to pinpoint the exact temperature.
Is this suitable for both oral and axillary use?
Yes, it is versatile enough for both methods, though response times differ: - Oral: 1 minute. - Axillary: 3 minutes.
Does this require special storage conditions?
The thermometers are stable for standard clinical storage. Because they utilize a chemical-based dot matrix that is reversible, the devices remain accurate and ready for use when needed.
How many thermometers come in a package?
Each order includes 100 disposable thermometers, providing a cost-effective solution for facilities requiring high patient throughput.
Is the temperature range sufficient for clinical screening?
Yes, the device covers a temperature range of 96 to 104 °F, which is ideal for standard clinical fever screening and general monitoring.
Is this product ideal for infection-sensitive environments?
It is an excellent choice for hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities where infection prevention and maintaining high hygiene standards are critical.
Does the thermometer require any electronic calibration?
No. The NexTemp uses a passive, chemical-based technology to detect temperature, meaning there are no batteries, electronics, or complex calibration processes required.
