Milton's Tele-Thermometer (Pyrogen Test Apparatus)

In pyrogen testing on rabbits, a telethermometer plays a crucial role in monitoring body temperature changes. Here's how it's used: Temperature Measurement: Pyrogen testing involves the administration of a test substance (e.g., potential pharmaceutical products or medical devices) to the rabbit, followed by monitoring for signs of fever (pyrexia). A telethermometer is used to continuously measure the rabbit's body temperature before and after the administration of the test substance. Baseline Measurement: Before conducting the test, baseline body temperature readings are taken to establish a reference point. This helps in identifying any deviations from the normal temperature range during the test period. Detection of Pyrogenic Response: Following the administration of the test...
