Explanation

Clinical thermometers are designed to measure human body temperature, which ranges from below normal (35°C) to high fever (42°C). This narrow range allows for precise readings within the clinically relevant temperature span. Other ranges either miss normal body temperature (37°C) or extend beyond fever temperatures.
