An apparatus for determining and/or monitoring at least one measured variable. The apparatus includes: at least one measuring unit; and at least one securement unit for holding the measuring unit in contact with an object. The securement unit is embodied in such a manner, that the securement unit has at least two stable shape states, wherein, for transition between the at least two states, application of a mechanical force to the securement unit is required.

The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein: securement unit is embodied essentially in the form of two elongated strips, which cross one another at an angle. 11. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein: in one shape state said at least one securement unit has essentially the form of a gutter. 12. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein: in one shape state said at least one securement unit has essentially the form of a ring. 13. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein: in one shape state said at least one securement unit has essentially the form of a spiral. 14. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein: said at least one securement unit is embodied essentially as a snap arm band. 15. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein: said at least one securement unit is provided partially with a slip preventing coating, and/or said at least one securement unit is provided partially with a thermally insulating coating, and/or said at least one securement unit is provided partially with an oscillation damping coating. 16. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein: said at least one measuring unit is an integral component of said at least one securement unit. 17. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein: said at least one measuring unit at least partially changes its color as a function of the measured variable. 18. The apparatus as claimed in claim 17, wherein: said at least one measuring unit comprises at least partially a thermochromatic substance.
