This economical, easy to use thermometer is intended for continuous monitoring in the hospital or laboratory. The digital display reads to 1/10°C. For safety, the unit is battery operated and batteries will last for 1200 hours. 
 
In the hospital, TH-5 is used with Physitemp's clinical probes such as the RET-1 rectal probe and SST-1 skin probe or with our new line of disposable temperature sensors. 
 
In the lab: TH-5 is used with any of Physitemp's fast reading microprobes and special animal probes. For example, RET-2 is a rectal probe for rats; IT series flexible microprobes can be used for tissue implantation, measurement of small volume liquid samples, rectal temperatures in baby mice, etc.; MT-D is a fast-reading surface microprobe. 
For lab applications where strip chart recording is needed, the TH-5 can be supplied with analog output.
