Abstract:
A monitoring assembly to continuously determine temperature of a patient, said monitoring assembly comprising:a) a sensor assembly including at least a first sensor structure to be disposed in operative engagement with an exterior portion of the patient's body;b) said first sensor structure disposed and structured to sense a temperature of the patient on a continuous basis;c) a display assembly including at least a first display structure located remotely from said first sensor structure;d) said first display structure being responsive to said first sensor structure and structured to visually display temperature data determined thereby;e) a control assembly operatively interconnecting said first sensor structure to said display assembly; andf) said control assembly further including a transmission assembly interconnected to said sensor assembly and structured to transmit the temperature data from said sensor assembly to said first display structure;g) a second displav structured to be disposed on the patient, said second display structure responsive to said first sensor structure and structured to visually display the temperature data on a continuous basis concurrently with said first display assembly; andh) a reset assembly including a first reset structure remotely disposed from the patient, said first reset structure operatively connected to said display assembly at least partially by said transmission assembly so as to concurrently reset both said first and said second display structures to a new temperature data reading.
