Figure 1 The TFA 30.2018-02 thermometer costs about US $17. It measures 39 × 52 × 15 mm, weighs 50 g, and functions with a 1.5-V button cell battery. The modified probe is shown on the right.

Figure 2 Top panels show scatterplots of measurements made with TFA1 (top left panel) and TFA2 (top right panel) versus the gold standard. A dotted identity line is plotted as a reference line. Bottom panels show the differences of measurements (bottom left panel: TFA1 – gold standard; bottom right panel: TFA2 − gold standard) versus the average of measurements, together with the limits of agreement calculated according to Bland and Altman.5 A dotted horizontal line at zero is plotted as a reference line.
