PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a clinical thermometer sterilizer capable of easily sterilizing thermometers.SOLUTION: A clinical thermometer sterilizer 10 includes: a housing 12 where insertion ports 20 to which tip parts 54 of clinical thermometers 50 are inserted are provided； a light source 30 which is provided inside the housing 12 and irradiates the tip parts 54 of the clinical thermometers 50 inserted into the insertion ports 20 with ultraviolet light； and a control part 40 which controls lighting of the light source 30. The clinical thermometer sterilizer 10 may further include sensors 24 for detecting insertion of the clinical thermometers 50 into the insertion ports 20. The control part 40 may light up the light source 30 when insertion of the clinical thermometer 50 is detected by the sensor 24.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1【課題】簡便に体温計を殺菌できる体温計殺菌装置を提供する。【解決手段】体温計殺菌装置１０は、体温計５０の先端部５４が挿入される挿入口２０が設けられる筐体１２と、筐体１２の内部に設けられ、挿入口２０に挿入される体温計５０の先端部５４に紫外光を照射する光源３０と、光源３０の点灯を制御する制御部４０と、を備える。体温計殺菌装置１０は、挿入口２０への体温計５０の挿入を検知するセンサ２４をさらに備えてもよい。制御部４０は、センサ２４により体温計５０の挿入が検知された場合に光源３０を点灯させてもよい。【選択図】図１
