Description
The Level 1 Esophageal Rectal Temperature Probe provides continuous core temperature feedback from the esophagus, nasopharynx, or rectum. Its thermistor holds accuracy of plus or minus 0.2 degrees C across the clinical range, in a disposable 9 Fr format.
- Core Temperature Feedback – Continuous readings clinicians use to diagnose and treat temperature fluctuation before it becomes a complication
- Documented Accuracy – Thermistor accuracy of plus or minus 0.2 degrees C from 5 to 45 degrees C
- Three Placement Sites – Designed for insertion into the esophagus, nasopharynx, or rectum
Disposable Core Temperature Probe for Continuous Monitoring
Core temperature is a treatment input, not a charting formality, during anesthesia and critical care. These probes are indicated wherever continuous patient temperature monitoring is desired, feeding readings back so clinicians can respond to drift early. Patients benefit through more responsive treatment and fewer complications from unmonitored fluctuation. The 9 Fr general purpose format suits esophageal, nasopharyngeal, and rectal placement across adult care areas. Each probe is single use and supplied in sterilized packaging, which removes reprocessing from the monitoring chain. The probes are not manufactured with natural rubber latex and are supplied 20 per box.

Why Clinical Teams Choose Level 1 Esophageal Rectal Probes
Temperature management protocols assume a trustworthy core reading. This probe's documented accuracy and disposable format make that reading dependable without a reprocessing step. It is the standard-format probe the Level 1 monitoring chain was built around.
- Accuracy on the Record – A stated plus or minus 0.2 degree C tolerance, not an implied one
- No Reprocessing Burden – Sterile single-use probes keep monitoring ready at all hours
- Placement Flexibility – One probe format covers esophageal, nasopharyngeal, and rectal monitoring
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is this probe placed?
It is designed for insertion into the esophagus, nasopharynx, or rectum for continuous core temperature monitoring. Clinicians use the readings to guide diagnosis and treatment.
How accurate is the probe?
The thermistor accuracy is plus or minus 0.2 degrees C in the range of 5 to 45 degrees C. The foam seal protects that accuracy through long monitoring periods. That documented tolerance is what temperature protocols are written against.
Is the probe reusable?
No. It is a single use disposable probe supplied in sterilized packaging.
What size is it?
This is the 9 Fr general purpose configuration. It is the standard Level 1 format for esophageal, nasopharyngeal, and rectal placement.
How is it packaged?
Probes are supplied 20 per box and sold by the case. The box format suits par-level stocking in operating rooms and ICUs.
