Holly Springs, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/12/2010 -- Background:

A recent survey of 324 mothers who work full-time (and are also "mommy bloggers") was conducted in September 2010 by TempleTouch™ thermometers.

The subject of the survey was to find out what working mothers do about their jobs when their children become sick.

Key Findings:

• In this economy, working mothers feel more pressure to go to work rather than stay home with their sick children

• 60% of working moms are given less than seven sick days per year by their employer – and 56% of working moms don't use those days for themselves. Instead, they stay home to take care of sick kids.

• Even though, 43% of working moms are never allowed to take those days to care for children.

• So, what's a working mom do when the kids are sick? 33% have pretended to be sick themselves in order to stay home; 22% have faked an illness; 34% have sent their child to school anyway; and more than 60% call on a friend or relative to take care of the kids

• 60% of working moms consider their workplace family friendly

• 68% of working moms have never heard of "sick child day care", a new type of day care operation popping up around the country where staff cares for sick children.

Makers of the award-winning TempleTouch™ Thermometer will unveil a brand new kind of thermometer for moms

Holly Springs, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/04/2010 -- Medisim Ltd., the makers of the award winning TempleTouch™ thermometer, is unveiling a brand new thermometer at the ABC Show in Las Vegas October 10 - 13th, 2010.

The MothersTouch™ thermometer is the first and only thermometer of its kind, and is targeted to mothers with young children. It is the most intuitive and gentle method of accurately getting a temperature reading. A mother gently places the base of the thermometer to her child's forehead or temple for just 6-8 seconds and with no effort or discomfort, gets a quick and accurate measurement while holding her baby close.

"Over the course of history, there has been nothing more natural for a mother to do with a sick child than to touch her hand to his forehead to check for a fever. While a warm forehead often implies the presence of a fever, it isn't scientific or exact – until now," says John Wilson, President of Medisim-USA. "We are so excited to for the ABC Show Attendees to be the first to see the MothersTouch Thermometer."

The Mothers Touch will be on retail shelves early in 2011.

Medisim will also display its award-winning TempleTouch™ Mini thermometers and TempleTouch™ premium thermometers, which are available at http://www.TempleTouchThermometer.com and on retail shelves nationwide.

Medisim is the international leader in non-invasive fever measurement and understands exactly how frustrating and intimidating it can be to take your sick child's temperature with traditional thermometers. MothersTouch Thermometer™ uses the same patented technologies in the TempleTouch Thermometers – R.A.T.E. and non-invasive temperature measurement and has even more sensors to provide accurate readings every time.

The main focus of the ABC show is on products, predominantly in the areas of furniture, bedding, room decor, baby gear, gift and layette, maternity, toys and related accessories.

Revolutionary thermometer wins PTPA award and continues to set the new standard in fever measurement

Holly Springs, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/11/2010 -- Add another accolade to the TempleTouch trophy case. Medisim-USA is excited to announce that its patented Mini TempleTouch thermometer has been awarded the influential PTPA Media Inc's Seal of Approval for excellence in family products.

Temple Touch was among many entries from across North America competing to win the PTPA Media Seal of Approval. The products were tested by savvy reviewers and professionals and the results were compiled for PTPA Media Inc.'s review committee for the final decision. The winners of the prestigious Seal of Approval from PTPA Media are selected based on value, functionality, quality and appeal of the product.

Because independent parents evaluate these products in their own homes, PTPA winners are chosen based on merit and consumer experience – not on commercial considerations. As a result, the PTPA Seal has quickly gained recognition as an international leader in certifying consumer products for quality, effectiveness and value.

"It is an honor for TempleTouch to receive the 'Parent Tested, Parent Approved' seal of approval. Once again, this recognition confirms that parents value our product because it is affordable, fast and non-invasive," said Medisim-USA President John Wilson.

"At PTPA Media, we are proud to play a role in certifying innovative new products that families can trust," says Sharon Vinderine, president and founder of PTPA Media. "It's win-win. By improving communication between manufacturers and consumers, we are helping companies serve their market better, and helping families identify products that have been tested and recommended by their peers."

TempleTouch thermometers also received awards from The Family Review Center, iParenting Media, and Moms' Choice Awards. TempleTouch thermometers deliver clinically accurate core body temperature in only six (6) seconds by gently touching the thermometer to the temple. Because of this sensitivity, TempleTouch™ is ideal for use on a sleeping infant or child. They are also widely preferred because they do not cross-contaminate germs like many other invasive-style thermometers. The Mini TempleTouch™ is currently sold at Walmart® under the ReliOn® brand while the Premium TempleTouch is sold at Walgreens®.

Medisim-USA raises awareness on what a fever really is and what it really means

Holly Springs, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/03/2010 -- Call them what you want: old wives tales, grandma's home remedies, urban legends or just plain cure-alls. Just don't rely on them to get healthy!

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as of last month, the predominant flu virus circulation was still the 2009 H1N1 virus and it is common for the last flu spike to occur in February and March. So in preparation for this, Dr. Sorin Teich of Medisim-USA, patent-holder and manufacturer of the TempleTouch™ Thermometer, debunks common fever myths and prescribes accurate tips to help you know when to seek medical attention.

"It is important for people to know fact from fiction when it comes to fevers and internal body temperature," said Teich. "Fever is a common symptom of the seasonal flu and separating the myths from the facts will allow for people to receive the necessary care that their symptoms require."

The most popular of all fever myths: 98.6 is normal
It is not uncommon for parents today to assume that when their child's temperature goes above 98.6, that their child is running a fever. A child's internal body temperature is generally higher than adults – and everyone's internal body temperature is different and can vary from hour to hour depending on one's age, physical activity, general health, and immediate surroundings.

The idea that 98.6 is one's internal temperature stems from a study conducted more than 100 years ago. The study measured the temperature of 25,000 people and together, their internal temperatures averaged 98.6° F. Also, remember that primitive thermometers were used and they were not nearly as accurate as the thermometers of today.

Some more food for thought: Older is colder. An article from Journal of Clinical Nursing reported a study performed on adults 60 and older that showed as we age, our core temperature actually drops as much as 1°F as we age. One of the major factors that lead to this drop in core temperature is inactivity (or lack of exercise).

Some more common fever myths:

Touching the skin is a reliable test of a person's temperature.
The quick answer, no. How a person's forehead feels to the touch can be affected by many things. The only true way to test a person's internal temperature is with a reliable thermometer.

Feed a cold, starve a fever.
We've all heard this one before, but it's yet another common misconception. A fever will cause the body to lose fluids through sweating and breathing. Because of this, your body will need more fluids than normal. Fluids also help your body decongest, which helps you get better faster while eating keeps your strength up.

Taking a cold bath can lower your temperature.
Wrong. In fact, it may cause a person to shiver due to the cold, which would actually raise a person's internal temperature and make the fever worse.

Without treatment, fevers will keep going higher.
Wrong. The body does have a ceiling on your internal temperature. Due to our brain's thermostat, fevers from infection (like the flu) top out at 103°F to 104°F and rarely will go as high as 105°F or 106°F.

Fevers cause brain damage or fevers over 104°F are dangerous.
Although seeing a temperature reading about 104° can cause alarm, fevers with infections don't cause brain damage. Only internal temperatures of 108°F or higher, which are extremely rare, can cause brain damage.

Temperatures between 98.7°F and 100°F (37.1°C to 37.8°C) are low-grade fevers.
No. Just because a person's temperature is above 98.6° does not mean you have a fever. A person's internal temperature goes through normal variations throughout the day, typically peaking in the late afternoon and evening. A low-grade fever is an internal temperature of 100°F to 102°F.

Accurate temperature readings are critical, especially in small children. Temple Touch thermometers provide the accurate readings and are non-invasive. They are so easy to use; you won't wake a sleeping baby while taking a temperature.

As swine flu phobia spreads, day care centers want their stockings stuffed with thermometers

Holly Springs, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/04/2009 -- This year Santa Claus is not the only one making a list and checking it twice. Day care centers are making a list, too a list of "must-haves" that help prevent the spread of swine flu and are asking parents to help keep them well-stocked with these items.

These days products that help combat spread of H1N1 are in high demand, especially at child care facilities. Sales of hand sanitizer, soap and antibacterial wipes have skyrocketed. As of October 3, 2009, dollar sales of hand sanitizers were $118.4 million, up 70.5 percent over the same period last year ($69.4 million).

A thermometer known as the Temple Touch, has also become a must-have item for daycare centers.

"This year many of our members are asking parents to donate items to keep their facility clean and kids healthy," said Andi Schleicher, Executive Director of the Child Day Care Association (CDCA). "Most recently, some of our members started using the new Temple Touch thermometer and love it because it allows them to practice better hygiene. It's a must-have that more centers are adding to their most-wanted list."

"One reason we have seen a spike in product demand is due to the simplicity and convenience of the Temple Touch thermometer. Parents and child care centers prefer it because it only takes a few seconds and is non-invasive, so it doesn't spread germs easily from child to child like other types of thermometers that require you to use it in the ear or under the tongue," said John Wilson, spokesperson for Medisim-USA, the makers of the thermometer.

Stricter Policies on Fever, Too
Since children are at high-risk for the contagious virus, centers are under more scrutiny than ever for parents. As one recent TIME magazine article put it, to parents daycare "centers look less like protective bastions and more like potential H1N1 incubators."

In response, some day care centers have implemented stricter policies on hygiene and take a more proactive approach to keep symptomatic children away, especially when it comes to fever.

"Since the Centers for Disease Control asks child care facilities to conduct daily health checks and fever is a key indicator of the flu, we hear of more centers sending kids home when they are running even a low grade fever, when before it was acceptable for kids to stay at the daycare center even if they were running a fever around 99 degrees," said Wilson.

Lisa Jones, Director of Webster Child Care, a Missouri affiliate of CDCA agrees. "We find ourselves taking temperature more often than usual, at the very first sign that a child may not be feeling 100 percent. We think the Temple Touch is the best thermometer in the world!"

Rapidly-growing company receives patent for brand-new, conductive forehead thermometers that aim to set new standard in temperature measurement

Holly Springs, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/26/2009 -- Medisim Inc., a global leader in diagnostic tools for temperature measurement and other devices that help medical professionals meet contemporary clinical challenges, announced today that it has been awarded a U.S. patent for "Non-Invasive Temperature Measurement" technology.

The U.S. patent covers a unique technology to allow for non-invasive measurement of core body temperature using conduction rather than infra-red (IR) technology. IR technology has shown to have several disadvantages, which Medisim's unique technology overcomes. The company's digital temple thermometers, known as Temple Touch Thermometers, accurately measure body heat using state-of-the-art technology to track heat flow generated from blood vessels to the skin's surface, and converts this measurement to body temperature.

Medisim makes the world's only patented, non-invasive, temple thermometers that do not use IR technology, and the instruments are so groundbreaking that they have created a new category in body temperature measurement called "conductive forehead thermometers."

Adds John Wilson, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Medisim-USA, "Medisim's Temple Touch thermometers are truly so revolutionary and practical that we fully expect them to set the new standard for the way Americans measure fevers at home and in medical settings."

Temple Touch thermometers are quickly gaining popularity among U.S. consumers because they are non-invasive, fool-proof, affordable, and deliver results quickly in just 6-7 seconds after touching the probe to the temple. Because of this sensitivity, they are ideal for use on a sleeping infant or child, and are preferable alternatives to common digital stick and IR thermometers.

The Temple Touch Mini is currently sold under the ReliOn® brand at Walmart for $9.94, and the Temple Touch Premium is currently sold under the Walgreen's® brand for $29.99.
The company will soon be introducing Medisim branded versions of both products.

All Temple Touch thermometers are powered by another of Medisim's patented technologies, R.A.T.E.™ (Rapid, Accurate, Temperature, Establishment), the algorithm that accurately calculates heat flow in the blood vessels to the skin's surface and converts it to body temperature.
