BullShit yourself! 1 part per thousand is of the quantity being measured,
not relative to some arbitrary starting point (such as the triple point
of water or the lowest number on your instrument).
The fact that your instrument only reads temperatures between 37C and
42C is irrelevant. All that matters is that it is within +/-0.1K in
that range.
Let's say you measure something's temperature as 37C +/- 0.1C
That means that the temperature is between 36.9C and 37.1C
However, the total temperature is (273.15K)+(37C +/- 0.1C), or:
310.15K +/- 0.1K, which is between 310.05K and 310.25K, or better than
one part in THREE thousand!
