 The two bars on the 'thermometer' are the traditional lines that appear on a a common type of pregnancy test. One bar is the control line; it will become visible given any normal urine sample.

 Thermometers are typically used to measure temperature, and the title text notes that this clever thermometer has also detected a fever in the baby, presumably somewhere inside Cueball. [[3001: Temperature Scales]] discusses units of measurement.
