Esophageal/Rectal Temperature Probe with 400 Series Thermistor
Description (0206-03-0209-02, 0206-03-0212-02)
Hypothermia and hyperthermia are well recognized clinical conditions necessitating
temperature monitoring. The economical and disposable Esophageal/Rectal Temperature
Probe is a sensitive and accurate temperature transducer, to be used clinically where
continuous temperature monitoring is required.
The temperature sensor is in the form of an electrically insulated “400” series thermistor,
which is permanently secured within a PVC tube. The bullet tipped PVC tube provides for
atraumatic insertion. The thermistor is placed at the distal end of the tube. The accuracy of
the thermistor is ± 0.2°C in the range of 5 - 45°C.
The assembly is disposable, single use only, and packaged sterile. It is available in sizes 9
and 12 French.
This device is intended for use with electronic temperature monitors accepting 400 series
thermistor sensors or equivalent that are equipped with alarms. To interconnect the probe
with the instrument, use cable part number 0012-00-0975.
Electrical leakage current of the device (sensor and PVC tube) when used with monitor and
cable, comply with IEC 601-1/EN 60601-1.
Indications
The Esophageal/Rectal Temperature Probe is indicated where continuous patient temperature
monitoring is desired. The sensor is designed for insertion into the esophagus, nasopharynx,
or rectum.
Contraindications
The use of the esophageal/rectal sensor may be contraindicated in neonates and small
infants undergoing tracheostomy or internal jugular artery catheterization and remote
surgical procedures.
Adverse Reactions
Adverse reactions reported during applications of these sensors include: accidental tracheal
or bronchial intubation accompanied with airway obstruction, esophageal or rectal abrasion
and/or perforation, pharyngeal abrasions and tissue burns due to aberrant electro-cautery
radio-frequency current pathways.
