ESOTEST Probe is an esophageal lead made of an external isolating cover in medical polyurethane Ø 7 French (2,3mm), total length 95 cm (usable length 75 cm) that is used for monitoring the internal temperature of esophagus tube. It is equipped with 5 steel rounded electrodes, each of the three intermediate electrodes is connected to a thermocouple for independent detection of esophageal temperature. The distal and the proximal electrodes are connected to auxiliary outlets through which, in case of need, they can be connected to other (recording) devices providing the output as an electrical signal. The distal end has a rounded-off tip, made a-traumatic by a special silicone cover.ESOTEST Probe is equipped with a trapezoidal connector box (“yoke”) made of ABS plastic, its main purpose is connection of probe to the monitor for the continuous recording of temperature, connection is realized by 3 miniature sockets that are embedded in the box. ESOTEST System is intended for continue esophageal temperature monitoring and it consists of 3 components: Monitor (ESOTEST ULTRA 30112 model number) , Interconnect cable (F5406/ULTRA model number) and Probe.
A sterile device inserted into the oesophagus and intended to be used to transmit oesophageal tissue temperature information to a connected oesophageal temperature monitor during left atrial cardiac ablation, to help prevent atrial-oesophageal fistula formation. It is typically constructed of flexible materials (e.g., polymers) and has a metal conducting core; it has multiple sensors at the distal end and a connector at the proximal end. It may have electrodes that are used for temporary transoesophageal stimulation if connected to a cardiac stimulator. This is a single-use device.
