A CONSUMER REPORTED THAT HER THERMOMETER HAD ALLEGEDLY GIVEN FALSE NEGATIVE READINGS ON HER STEP-MOTHER. IT WAS ALLEGED THAT THE DEVICE GAVE READINGS THAT WERE 2.5 - 5°F LOWER THAN WHAT WAS LATER MEASURED IN AN AMBULANCE. THE PATIENT WAS ADMITTED INTO A HOSPITAL AND TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID-19. SHE PASSED AWAY 2 DAYS AFTER BEING ADMITTED INTO THE HOSPITAL. IT WAS ALLEGED THAT THE FALSE NEGATIVE READINGS GIVEN BY THE DEVICE MAY HAVE CAUSED A DELAY IN MEDICAL TREATMENT, BUT THAT SHE DID NOT FEEL WELL FOR SEVERAL DAYS PRIOR TO CALLING AN AMBULANCE. IT WAS STATED THAT THE PATIENT HAD PRE-EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITIONS WHICH PUT HER AT HIGH RISK, AND ALSO STATED THAT CATCHING THE FEVER EARLIER WITH A WORKING THERMOMETER WOULD LIKELY NOT HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE BUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO KNOW THAT SHE HAD A FEVER.
Patient problems: Death
