TRITEMP™ Thermometer Accuracy: Clinical Precision Designed for Healthcare
The TRITEMP™ non-contact thermometer delivers ±0.2°C clinical accuracy, verified against international standards and engineered for fast, hygienic readings in UK and US hospitals. Its touch-free design supports infection prevention while maintaining reliable, repeatable results.
Why Accuracy Matters in Temperature Measurement
Accurate temperature measurement is a cornerstone of clinical assessment. Small deviations can influence diagnosis, infection control, and treatment decisions. TriMedika’s TRITEMP™ non-contact thermometer is designed for consistent, hospital-grade accuracy without physical contact, supporting hygiene and reliability at the point of care.
How the TRITEMP™ Ensures Precision
TRITEMP™ uses infrared measurement technology to capture temperature at the forehead without touch or disposable covers. Performance is tested against recognised clinical standards for medical thermometers.
Key accuracy features :
- ±0.2°C precision range under normal hospital conditions
- Automatic ambient temperature compensation
- Fixed measurement distance to help eliminate variability
- Stable readings without routine recalibration under standard use
- Quality assurance testing on every unit before shipment

Designed for Healthcare Environments
Built for busy clinical settings, wards, emergency departments, outpatient clinics. TRITEMP™ helps reduce the spread of infection by eliminating contact and single-use probe covers while maintaining precision.
Clinical advantages :
- Fast, one-second readings
- Zero cross-contamination risk from contact
- Sustainable and cost-efficient (no consumables)
- Supports infection control policies in NHS, HSE and US hospitals
How TRITEMP™ Accuracy Is Tested
Each unit undergoes factory calibration and quality testing using traceable reference standards before shipment. Testing aligns with medical device quality and safety requirements.
Certificates :
- ISO 13485: Medical Device Quality Management Systems
- CE Mark (EU) and applicable regulatory requirements
- EN 60601-1 electrical safety requirements
These processes help ensure long-term accuracy and reliability over thousands of clinical uses.
Comparing Accuracy: TRITEMP™ vs. Traditional Thermometers
| Type | Contact Required | Accuracy Range | Maintenance | Consumables |
|---|---|---|---|---|
