Thermometer Evolution

For nearly 200 years, glass-mercury thermometers were the only tools available for measurement of body temperature. Because glass was slow and the danger of injury or toxicity due to mercury was becoming unacceptable, electronic predictive thermometers were developed. Although faster, the final temperature indication may not always be accurate, since it’s not a measured value but a calculated value. Ear (tympanic) thermometers seemed to be a better answer for a while. However, they’re difficult to use on younger children, require expensive probe covers and, they’re proven to be technique-dependent… especially in the untrained hands of worried parents.

Our Background

Since its founding in 1880, Faichney has continued to thrive, first as part of Chesebrough-Ponds, then Unilever India Limited, and since 2003 as Advanced Micronic Devices Limited, a subsidiary of Opto Circuits (India) Ltd. For over a century medical professionals recognized the outstanding quality of Faichney glass-mercury thermometers as, through many generations, the Faichney name was synonymous with excellence in thermometer manufacturing. It still is! Well into our second century this commitment to quality and accuracy continues with our Faichney and LifeAid electronic actual-reading digital clinical thermometers. The actual-reading digital thermometer, developed by Advanced Micronic Devices Limited, addresses the accuracy shortcomings of the predictive thermometer without sacrificing speed.
