Abstract: The invention relates to an infrared thermometer wherein control means signal or determine a correct positioning of the intensity transducer tasked with measuring the infrared radiation emitted by the patient whose temperature needs to be known.

Abstract: The invention relates to an infrared thermometer wherein control means signal determine a correct positioning of the intensity transducer tasked with measuring the infrared radiation emitted by the patient whose temperature needs to be known. In particular the infrared thermometer is capable of varying the hue/shape of a primary figure shown on the patient as a function of the temperature of the area to be measured.

Abstract: A clinical thermometer is described, based on the measurement of the infrared radiation emitted by the patient, in which the body temperature of the patient in obtained in a non-invasive way and (normally) without any contact between the thermometer and the patient. During measurement of the temperature, the thermometer (1) is put at a preset distance (d) from the body of the patient, a distance which is normally determined by an optical aiming system consisting of two converging rays of light (5). A thermometer according to the invention may be used to obtain the temperature of the patient also by contact.

Abstract: It is described a portable device for treating insect bites comprising a piezoelectric body (5a; 108) to be operated by a striker (19; 107) to generate a predetermined voltage at the ends of two electrodes or between one electrode and the user's body.

Abstract: A device for monitoring and controlling an intravenous infusion system includes a storage battery within a housing defining a drip chamber from which an intravenous infusion tube emerges which can be regulated by a shutoff device. The shutoff device is defined by first and second levers biased by respective first and second springs which are tripped through a microcontroller circuit responding to droplet sensing.

Abstract: A device for monitoring an intravenous infusion system is provided which includes a drip chamber for receiving droplets of liquid for intravenous infusion delivered thereto by a delivery tube with the drips being sensed through an associated droplet sensing, counting, comparing and responding circuit system. Three relatively movable jaws are provided, two of which are relatively preloaded by a spring which is locked but can be releases by a brief energization of an electromagnet to terminate liquid flow through the delivery tube.
