Thermometrics Type MA Biomedical Chip Thermistor Assemblies are designed for use in applications involving both intermittent and continuous patient temperature monitoring. Repeatability and fast response are essential, not only for the intermittent temperature requirements associated with oral and rectal fever measurements, but also for the continuous monitoring often necessary during induced-hypothermia and general anesthesia, or when employed in the care of infants and premature babies. Intensive care units, along with recovery rooms, have also adopted patient temperature as part of their vital sign monitoring procedures. Temperature monitoring for skin surface, tympanic, esophageal, foley catheters, and biofeedback applications has also improved due to the high stability and tight interchangeable tolerances designed into each Thermometrics’ Biomedical Sensor Assembly.

Thermometrics NTC Type AB6 Series Thermistor Assemblies consist of small thermobeads and GCs (chip-in-glass) that are welded to insulated extension leads. Thermobead and GC assemblies are used where a small thermistor must be further connected to longer leads, and for applications requiring fast response measurements in confined spaces. The thermobeads or GC (chip-in-glass) are hermetically sealed in glass and have fine diameter 0.0007 in to 0.004 in (0.01778 mm to 0.1016 mm) platinum alloy leads. The platinum leads are cut short and welded to insulated extension leads and the joints are covered in one of several insulation types, depending upon the application or environment. The assembly is then ready for insertion into hypodermic needles, catheters or other small housings that require extended leads.
