A Revolutionary
and Unique, Multi-Function Computerized Digital Thermometer with on-chip
memory and data processing
for
BBT Charting and
Identification of the Fertile Ovulatory Period in Human Females using the
Sympto-Thermal Method of Fertility Prediction.
Precision Accuracy to nine one hundredth (9/100) of One Degree Fahrenheit (.05
Degree Celsius).
INTENDED USE
Hormonal changes associated with ovulation
produce a rise in a woman's basal body temperature, approximately
=/> 0.5ºF/0.3ºC, as well as other recognizable
signs such as changes in cervical mucus. Learning to record and interpret basal
temperature changes is known as the Basal Temperature Method (BBT). By
monitoring the basal temperature changes, couples, in conjunction with their
physician or family planning counselor, may be able to determine that ovulation
has taken place and approximately when. Monitoring other symptoms, such as
cervical mucus changes, can assist in determining the fertile days prior to
ovulation. When temperature changes are used in conjunction with other
cycle
symptoms, such as the consistency of cervical mucus
or cramps, it is known as the Sympto-Thermal Method. Time of ovulation
can be used to plan sexual intercourse during fertile days to
aid in increasing the likelihood of achieving pregnancy.
Likewise, the basal temperature
change used in conjunction with other methods can be used to help determine
times for avoidance of sexual intercourse if the couple wishes to avoid
pregnancy.
The
IBASAL™ computerized digital thermometer was developed to chart and
track the BBT using this
Sympto-Thermal Method.
Internal memory storage and data input options allow this thermometer to track
the female cycle and automatically alert the user to the onset of the fertile
period through a visual
fertility symbol located on the LCD display panel (see below). Basal body
temperatures are automatically stored and visibly charted for 10 consecutive
days in low and high phase. Stored temperatures and memo data inputs are then
automatically correlated and computed internally resulting in a customized
historical cycle and fertility predictive
capability. Memo data input allows the user to record six additional independent variables for each BBT reading including
spotting, cramps, cervical mucus, intercourse and other factors important to
sympto-thermal BBT charting.
The OvuTherm™ Sophia digital
thermometer uses "smart" micro-technology to predict not only the fertile period
but other symptoms such as possible illness or fever that can effect graph and chart
interpretation.
BASIC OPERATION
The
IBASAL™ OPT
thermometer is used daily for temperature recording. A programmable alarm can be
set to alert the user when to record the BBT to keep test times consistent each
day. Routine use is a simple process of placing the thermometer probe
under the tongue, waiting for the audible beep, and then inputting any physical
variable(s). Data storage is automatic. All data is inputted, stored and
displayed through the unit's unique LCD digital display using visual symbols and
associated enter buttons located on the unit's handle. Temperature readings are
automatically stored by date, correlated against variable inputs and then
charted on the display panel. The heart of this unique OPT thermometer is the
display panel featuring high definition liquid crystal display (LCD) symbols and digital
readouts that are user friendly and easy to interpret including a charting function
that displays real
time status of high/low temperature variations to date.
LCD DIGITAL DISPLAY
Input and program function symbols indicate type of data input.
BBT
temperature graph tracks consecutive high/low readings. Special symbols
indicate data interpretation and signal fertile days, possible pregnancy or
medical condition alert. |
 |
Cycle day is tracked and identified. Special number display indicates
cycle phase and rhythm timing. Variable inputs are recorded through these
symbols: Bleeding or Spotting (X) Cramps (?) Fever (F) Intercourse (O)
Medication (M) Cervical Mucus type (+,‡ ?) |
The IBASAL™ BBT
thermometer will store and track up to 210 separate temperature recordings. This
Memory and data recall ability eliminates the necessity of keeping
separate and tedious temperature charts and the internal microcomputer chip
interprets all stored data and makes the best prediction automatically.
