Abstract

The metrology or study of the measures, it was found at all  levels of the reality of the society.  The correct measure requires that international organizations  that establish the market rules and the quality of life, defined  what and how they´re obtained. To this end, there is the  international system of units and the International Bureau of  Weights and Measures (IBWM), which define the units and to  carry out experiments. Making that countries can recourse for a  metrological traceability that guarantees all the variables that  are used in the world. In the daily lives of the people there are multitude of  magnitudes that are measured with a determined accuracy, as  the water pressure or the electricity power. The calibrations are  the processes for verifying the accuracy of the measures, by  means of accuracy. The processes of calibration and verification  of the magnitudes should be reproducible.  The unified standards are documents that under the  international recognition and with the participation of all the  officers involved have been developed to establish a series  of common requirements for which there is a compatibility  in everything that is manufactured. There must be rules  establishing the metrological traceability of measures or  magnitudes, ensuring any measure or magnitude. In this set  of rules have to be dealt with the magnitudes and medical  measures, taking its relevant standardization.  By time has not been a specific study with the standardization  in terms of metrological traceability for medical equipment.  This article aims to give a response to the situation for the  clinical thermometers, ultrasound, and shortwave
