Abstract: A portable heating/cooling device for clinical hypo/hyperthermia with cuffs especially designed for arterial cooling/heating for raising or lowering the body temperature of a patient is operable by battery power or a wide range of available external power, and is usable in the field or in medical transport where such external power sources are not available. The small size, weight, and robust nature of the device allows it to be transported with the patient without the need for additional conveying devices.

Abstract: A holding device for an electronic thermometer, which has a solar cell and an electronic display formed an outer surface of the thermometer, comprises an elongated receiving body configured to allow exposure of the solar cell to receive solar energy therethrough when the thermometer is in the receiving body. The receiving body as inner and outer surfaces, which extend to a closed end and an opposite open end through which the thermometer is to be disposed. The inner surface is formed to complement the outer surface of the electronic thermometer to receive a portion of the thermometer disposed though the open end. The inner surface is formed adjacent the open end to complement and receive the display when the thermometer is disposed in the receiving body.

Abstract: A holding device for an electronic thermometer 13, which has a solar cell 20 and an electronic display 22 formed an outer surface 19 of the thermometer 13, comprises an elongated receiving body 28 configured to allow exposure of the solar cell 20 to receive solar energy therethrough when the thermometer 13 is in the receiving body 28. The receiving body 28 has inner and outer surfaces 30, 32 which extend to a closed end 14 and an opposite open end 16 through which the thermometer 13 is to be disposed. The inner surface 30 is formed to complement the outer surface 19 of the electronic thermometer 13 to inner surface 30 is formed adjacent the open end 16 to complement and receive the display 22 when the thermometer 13 is disposed in the receiving body 28.

Abstract: Substantially similar thermometers present in the same locality are distinguished from each other by the attachment of distinguishing indicia or by supplying non-critical portions of said thermometers in a plurality of colors and/or designs.
