Broken Thermometer Illustration - Medical Device Failure Visual #287498 (License: Personal Use)

This vector illustration shows a classic mercury-in-glass clinical thermometer fractured diagonally, with jagged black cracks radiating from the break point and an exposed orange mercury bulb at the base. The scale markings remain visible but distorted by the fracture, emphasizing device failure. The image uses bold outlines and flat colors to convey urgency and danger in a clear, educational manner.

Used in medical safety training, public health advisories, or pediatric care guides to warn about hazards of broken thermometers; matches user intent for understanding risks, disposal protocols, or alternatives like digital thermometers.
