Guest guest Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Hi, That ebay item is a general purpose thermometer. A basal thermometer is required to take accurate temps. You will omly be able to get a Mercury filled basal thermometer if it is old as EU regs banned mercury in basal thermometers a few years ago. I have seen a post from a nurse in the past stating that Geritherm are a good make and that she compared there readouts with the ones in the hospital and they are usually only about 0.1 out which is nothing really. I found mine by googling Geritherm basal thermometer and choosing the cheapest. Kind regards, Tina. > > > > Help! > > > > I have searched high and low for a mercury thermometer.
