1 TEMPERATURE SENSORS AND PROBES FOR BIO-MEDICAL APPLICATIONS

2 Introduction Measurement Specialties is the market leader in critical temperature measurement and is a leading provider of high precision NTC thermistors, temperature probe assemblies and thermopiles. Our range of NTC thermistors, probe assemblies and thermopiles are suitable for a wide range of temperature measurement, temperature control, and temperature compensation applications. Measurement Specialties possesses over 50 years of experience and in-depth knowledge that will enable us to meet the unique demands of temperature sensing applications, including medical, military, aerospace, instrumentation, automotive and HVAC. Our long and successful history supporting industries that require the most reliable and cost-effective temperature solutions in the marketplace makes us the first choice for Design Engineers. PRODUCT OFFERINg DISPOSABLE and REUSABLE TEMPERATURE PROBES Standard of care in the healthcare industry Following the purchase of BetaTHERM Sensors and YSI Temperature, Measurement Specialties now offers a full line of temperature sensors and probes. For over 50 years these organizations have played a key role in temperature monitoring for healthcare. In the early 1950s, the first practical electronic medical thermometer was introduced and shortly thereafter, the first interchangeable thermistor components, which evolved into the 400 Series probes. Measurement Specialties full line of disposable and reusable temperature probes are latex free and interface with vital signs monitors used in the OR, ICU and ER, as well as other specialty areas.

The Medical Catheter Micro BetaCHIP probe is packaged in a similar way to the standard micro BetaCHIP Probe except that the thermistor element is a glass coated thermistor of specific resistance value. The glass coated thermistor adds extra moisture protection to the probe design. The probe is produced for medical applications which require rapid temperature response and very small size. When used in thermodilution catheters, the thermistor measures temperature blood flow characteristics in the human body. Catheter probes are supplied with custom lead lengths. Standard length 1.5 meters, other lengths available on request. Wound onto small reels for convenience, probes are supplied with calibration data at +37 C. The standard thermistor is denoted as G22K7MCD8. Many other custom versions have been produced by Measurement Specialties to meet customers specific design criteria.
