Thermometers

Tender description

For the supply of Thermometer Devices and Support Products including Phase Change Thermometers, Electronic and Tympanic Devices for temperature measurement along with Associated Covers, Contact and Non-contact Temporal Artery Devices, and Rigid Digital Reusable Thermometers with Associated Covers. This Framework Agreement is for 12 months with the option to extend in incremental stages for up to a total period of 48 months. This Lot includes Devices which use samples of inert chemicals which melt at progressively higher temperatures. These chemicals are mounted as small dots in a matrix on a device which can be used to take an oral and/or axillary measurement to produce a temperature reading that is taken from the last dot to melt. This Lot includes Products which measure temperature either orally, axillary or rectally by use of a Probe and/or Flexible Tip. These Devices identify the temperature in a numerical reading, and can also be referred to as Digital Thermometers. These Devices require Probe Covers which assist with Infection Control, and are also included within this Lot. This Lot includes Products which measure temperature within the ear cavity by taking a non-invasive reading from the tympanic membrane. These Devices identify the temperature in a numerical reading, and require Probe Covers to assist with Infection Control which are also included in this Lot. This Lot includes Devices which are used to generate a temperature reading from the forehead to measure the heat emitted from the skin above the temporal artery and includes two different types of Device — one measures using direct contact (often referred to as ‘Contact’) with the forehead and the other that can be held away from the patient, often referred to as ‘Non-contact’. This Lot includes Products which measure temperature either orally, axillary or rectally by use of a Rigid Probe. These Devices identify the temperature in a numerical reading. These Devices require Probe Covers which assist with Infection Control, and are also included within this Lot.
