Every third thermometer tested by Roskoshestvo was unsuitable

Roskoshestvo checked 20 popular models of thermometers, which are sold in pharmacies and on marketplaces. Seven of the instruments failed testing. This is reported by Petersburg2.

Mercury-free AMRUS TVY-130, Relsib IT-9-IRm and Timmobile EKA were declared unusable due to violations of the law on ensuring uniformity of measurements. The GP300, Treversypro, Relsib and Megeon did not have a registration certificate of Roszdravnadzor. And Timmobile found signs of counterfeit: the ID number belonged to another product.

Only 13 models met the requirements. The accuracy of about 0.1 degrees was confirmed by mercury, mercury-free glass and electronic thermometers. Doctors advise to measure under the arm to choose an electronic model and check the claimed error.
