Abstract

An electronic thermometer includes temperature sensing member 11 for sensing a temperature on a predetermined sampling cycle to produce a measured value, predicted value computing member 10, ST13 for predicting a predicted value corresponding to a converged temperature in view of the measured value produced, by the sensing member, first judging member, 10, ST21 for judging that a predetermined drop of the measured value has continued for a predetermined time interval, alarming member for alarming in response to an output generated from the first judging member that the prediction by the predicted value computing member is not available, and display member for displaying the measured value or the predicted value.
