It is calibrated by puttin it in some ice.
Most medical electronic thermometers are not calibrated to measure ambient temperatures.

A total immersion thermometer is one that has been calibrated to read correctly when the entire thermometer is submerged in a homogeneously temperated liquid/medium.
I did not understand the nurse's inquiry as to what I had done with the thermometer. Will an inquiry be necessary to find that thermometer? A silent thermometer has no inquiry.
