Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers electronic instruments in-tended for intermittent monitoring of

3、 patient temperatures.1.2 This specification does not cover infrared thermometers.Specification E1965 covers specifications for IR thermometers.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equi

4、valents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.4 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to thetest method portion, Section 5, of this specification. Thisstandard does not purport

5、 to address all of the safety concerns,if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of theusers of this standard to consult and establish appropriatesafety and health practices and determine the applicability ofregulatory limitations prior to use.2.
