Thermometer Devices and Support Products

This Lot includes devices which use samples of inert chemicals which melt at progressively higher temperatures. These chemicals are mounted as small dots in a matrix on a device which can be used to take an oral and/or axillary measurement to produce a temperature reading that is taken from the last dot to melt. Appointment to the Framework Agreement will be made on a Product Line by Product Line basis. Evaluation will take place within each Lot.
