Abstract
A fast response, electronic clinical thermometer for measuring body temperature is disclosed which has a probe that includes a hollow tubular probe body and a thermal sensor assembly having a low thermal mass at the temperature sensing end of the probe body. The thermal sensor assembly includes a temperature sensing element electrically connected to a thin metal plate with good thermal conductivity which is received and supported by the probe body at its temperature sensing end. The probe is sealed off at its temperature sensing end permitting only the metal plate of the thermal sensor assembly and the probe body in the vicinity of the metal plate to make contact with the tissues of the body for measuring temperature. The probe is sealed to provide resistance to contamination during use.
