Thermometer with two operating modes, device for resetting a thermometer, system comprising a thermometer, and a method for resetting a thermometer

摘要

The invention relates to a system comprising a digital medical thermometer ( 1 ) and a device ( 2 ) for resetting said thermometer ( 1 ). Said thermometer ( 1 ) has at least two operating modes, a first operational mode and a second non-operational mode. Further it comprises a receiver unit ( 6 ) adapted for receiving a reset signal and an electrical controlling unit. This controlling unit has means for setting the thermometer ( 1 ) into the second non-operational mode after a temperature measurement, means for identifying the reset signal and means for resetting the thermometer ( 1 ) into the first operational mode when said signal fulfils a predetermined criterion. The device ( 2 ) for resetting the thermometer ( 1 ) into the operational mode has a transmitter ( 7 ) to send a signal to the thermometer ( 1 ). The receiver unit ( 6 ) of the thermometer ( 1 ) is adapted to receive the signal of the transmitter ( 7 ).
