The probes are inserted into the oesophagus or the rectum. Skin Temperature probes Dräger disposable skin temperature probes are intended for patient skin temperature measurement in combination with Dräger and Siemens patient monitoring systems. The probes are affixed on the patient's skin with an adhesive cover. ## Device Story Disposable temperature probes consisting of NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistor sensor and plug connector; interfaces with Dräger and Siemens patient monitors. General purpose probes inserted into esophagus or rectum for core temperature; skin probes applied to skin surface via adhesive. Thermistor resistance changes with temperature; monitor converts resistance to temperature reading. Used by clinicians in hospital settings for patient temperature management. Provides continuous temperature data to assist clinical decision-making regarding patient thermal status. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Verification and validation included shock/vibration, storage/transport, device compatibility, accuracy testing, electrical safety, biocompatibility, mechanical testing (bending, connection cycles, pull-off forces), labeling review, resistance to fluids/disinfectants, and shelf life. ## Technological Characteristics NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistor (YS1400). Disposable, single-patient-use. General purpose (esophageal/rectal) and skin probe form factors. Connects to Dräger/Siemens patient monitors. Non-sterile. Biocompatible materials. ## Regulatory 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. ## Predicate Devices - SC 9000 Bedside Monitor, SC 9015 Bedside Monitoring System ([K946306](/device/K946306.md)) - Reusable temperature probes (Skin Temperature Probe, reusable; General Purpose Temperature Probe, reusable) ([K050837](/device/K050837.md)) - Disposable temperature, Skin and Oesophageal probes ([K051873](/device/K051873.md)) - Disposable temperature probes/ sensors and instrument cables ([K070339](/device/K070339.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

PRODUCTS, INC | ## Device Description: Temperature probes are used during patient temperature measurement and consist of a plug connected to a patient monitor and a thermistor on the patient end. The thermistor consists of a resistor which is sensitive to temperature changes. The portfolio includes General Purpose Temperature probes to be inserted into the oesophagus or the rectum and Skin Temperature Probes. The devices are intended for single patient use and can be used with Dräger and Siemens patient monitors. ## Intended Use: ## General Purpose Temperature Probes Dräger disposable general purpose temperature probes are intended for patient core body temperature measurement in combination with Dräger and Siemens patient monitoring systems. The probes are inserted into the oesophagus or the rectum. ## Skin Temperature Probes Dräger disposable skin temperature probes are intended for patient skin temperature measurement in combination with Dräger and Siemens patient monitoring systems. The probes are affixed on the patient's skin with an adhesive cover. Verification & validation measures include but are not limited to the following key tests: Shock & Vibration, Storage and Transport, Compatibility to devices, Accuracy Test, Electrical Safety, Biocompatibility, Mechanical tests (bending, connection cycles, pull-off forces) Labelling review, Resistance to fluids and disinfectants, Shelf Life. ## Differences, Similarities and Conclusion: The Dräger temperature probes are identical in fit, form and function to the predicates. The intended use and general construction as the predicate devices remain the same. The function and principle of operation as well as the characteristic of the used NTC (YS1400) are equal. {2}------------------------------------------------ The Dräger temperature probes are non-sterile and are intended for single patient use instead of some predicates. The Dräger temperature probes use different materials but the devices are made from biocompatible materials and all verification and validation data provided indicate product performance is given within the range the device can be used by clinicians. In summary, the disposable temperature probes described in this submission are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
