3M Tempa Dot Single Use Clinical Thermometers are accurate, convenient, versatile and economical body temperature measuring devices. Clinically accurate oral body temperature can be obtained in 60 seconds and axillary temperatures in three minutes. Tempa Dot thermometers use a dot sensor matrix consisting of temperature-sensitive indicating dots. Each dot changes color from tan to blue at a specific temperature relative to the melting point of the specific chemical mixture of the dot. Each dot changes color at a temperature of 0.2°F or 0.1°C higher than the preceding dot. Body temperature is read from a numerical temperature scale.

Good idea, but problematic.
These use a series of small wax dots, each calibrated differently, to indicate the temperature. However, these could not withstand storage in my first aid kit or car. Moreover, when I re-ordered these from Amazon, they arrived having already been exposed to 101.2 degrees Fahrenheit. I suspect this occurred during delivery. I have since ordered another similar item of a different brand (Nextemp) and those are far more durable.

Not accurate - inconsistent
These gave totally inconsistent temperature readings. I went out and bought a digital thermometer and threw out the rest of the package.

Great pack material...
These are light and accurate thermometers for small medical bags or rip off packs. In the back country or other country, these are perfect.
