TOČNOST BREZKONTAKTNIH MEDICINSKIH TERMOMETROV

Hanželič, Lara (author), Pušnik, Igor (mentor)

V diplomskem delu analiziram točnost brezkontaktnih kliničnih termometrov s pomočjo črnega telesa v kopeli. Telesna temperatura je običajno dober pokazatelj procesov, ki se odvijajo v telesu. H kakovostni meritvi prispeva zlasti točen termometer, saj nam s tem nudi zanesljivost in vodi v ustrezno ukrepanje. Rezultati analize točnosti kliničnih termometrov prispevajo h kvaliteti in počutju ljudi. V prvem delu je na kratko opisan pomen merjenja telesne temperature, odstopanja, ki nakazujejo verjetnost bolezni, poškodbe, mesta merjenja in pomen sledljivosti kalibracij akreditiranih po standardu ISO17025. Za kvalitetno merjenje potrebujemo ustrezne termometre, katere sem opisala in uporabila pri meritvah. V diplomski nalogi sem se usmerila v analizo infrardečih (IR) termometrov ter pripadajočih fizikalnih zakonov. Eksperiment je temeljil na laboratorijskem preverjanju točnosti kontaktnih in brezkontaktnih termometrov. Predstavljeni so rezultati kalibracije navedenih kliničnih termometrov.

• Title: ACCURACY OF NON-CONTACT MEDICAL THERMOMETERS

Abstract

In my thesis, I analyze the accuracy of non-contact clinical thermometers with the help of a black body in a bath. Body temperature is usualy a good indicator of the processes taking place in the body. An accurate thermometer in particular contributes to quality measurement, as it provides reliable data and leads to appropriate actions. The results of the analysis of the accuracy of clinical thermometers contribute to the quality and well-being of people. In the first part, the importance of body temperature, deviations that show probability of diseases, injuries, measurement sites and the importance of traceability of calibrations accredited according to the ISO17025 standard are briefly described. For quality measurement, we need appropriate thermometers, which I described and also used in the measurements. In my thesis, I focused on the analysis of infrared (IR) thermometers and the associated already known acts. The experiment was based on laboratory verification of the accuracy of contact and non-contact thermometers. The calibration results of the mentioned clinical thermometers are also presented.
