Abstract

A two-piece portable, self-contained tympanic thermomether temperature measuring system (20) includes a measuring unit (22), and a base unit (24). The measuring unit (22) can be ergonomically designed as a compact, pencil-shaped, easy to hold unit that includes a removable sensing module (100) that interfaces with the base unit (24) and/or other host via digital signaling.
