NTC THERMISTORS:
TYPE MA
DESCRIPTION:
Our Biomedical Chip Thermistor assemblies are
designed for use in applications involving both
intermittent and continuous patient temperature
monitoring. Repeatability and fast response are es-
sential not only for the intermittent temperature
requirements associated with oral and rectal fever
measurements, but also with the continuous moni-
toring 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 monitor-
ing for skin surface, tympanic, esophageal, foley
catheters and biofeedback applications has also
improved due to the high stability and tight inter-
changeable tolerances designed into each Thermo-
metrics’ Biomedical assembly.
APPLICATIONS:
A complete line of standard sub-assemblies is avail-
able, as shown in Figure 1; however, continuous
research and development efforts within Thermo-
metrics have resulted not only in these field proven
designs, but in the development of our Unitherm
Thermochip Thermistor designed
exclusively for
biomedical applications in the range of 0° C to 50°
C. Although low in cost, these highly stable, preci-
sion thermochips provide the reliability, tight inter-
changeable tolerances, geometries, and fast
response times required. To keep pace with this
ever-improving biomedical market, our material sys-
tem and processing parameters are closely moni-
tored and improved to continually provide you with
reliable, quality products. In addition, should you
require it, Thermometrics employs a complete staff
of experienced full-time applications engineers who
welcome your inquiries, whether it’s for assistance,
or to help with your design requirements concerning
new and existing applications.
