Intended Use
The temperature probe is intended for use for continuous blood temperature monitoring as measured at a temperature monitoring adapter located within a Medtronic extracorporeal circulation device as specified in the device's instructions for use. The temperature probe is designed for use with a YSI tele-thermometer to monitor and display temperature.
Device Story
Temperature probe consists of a thermistor sensor housed in a stainless steel sheath, connected to a 3-meter cable with a 6.35-mm phono plug. Device operates by measuring electrical resistance changes in the thermistor, which are equated to temperature changes. Used in clinical settings during extracorporeal circulation; operated by healthcare professionals. Input is thermal energy from blood; output is an electrical signal processed by a YSI tele-thermometer to display temperature. Benefits include continuous, real-time blood temperature monitoring to assist clinical decision-making during perfusion procedures.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data required. Performance testing included IEC 60601 electrical safety and EMC, temperature range accuracy, precision/repeatability, response time, life testing, and liquid ingress/chemical exposure testing. All tests passed.
Technological Characteristics
Thermistor-based sensor; stainless steel/brass probe tip; PVC cable; 6.35-mm phono plug. Energy source: electrical (passive resistance measurement). Connectivity: wired to YSI tele-thermometer. Compliance: IEC 60601-1 (Type CF).
Indications for Use
Indicated for continuous blood temperature monitoring in patients undergoing extracorporeal circulation using Medtronic devices.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A clinical electronic thermometer is a device used to measure the body temperature of a patient by means of a transducer coupled with an electronic signal amplification, conditioning, and display unit. The transducer may be in a detachable probe with or without a disposable cover.
Special Controls
(1) Device is not a clinical thermometer with telethermographic functions;
(2) Device is not a clinical thermometer with continuous temperature measurement functions; and
(3) Appropriate analysis and testing (such as that outlined in the currently FDA-recognized editions, as appropriate, of ISO 80601-2-56, “Medical electrical equipment—Part 2-56: Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance of clinical thermometers for body temperature measurement,” or ASTM E1965, “Standard Specification for Infrared Thermometers for Intermittent Determination of Patient Temperature,” or ASTM E1112, “Standard Specification for Electronic Thermometer for Intermittent Determination of Patient Temperature,” or ASTM E1104, “Standard Specification for Clinical Thermometer Probe Covers and Sheaths”) must validate specifications and performance of the device.
