NB-TMP:The temperature sensor provides a signal that corresponds with (variations in) peripheral skin temperature when connected to a NeXus signal acquisition device. The sensor shall be placed on intact skin to provide a signal that is influenced by cutaneous blood flow. The sensor is not intended to determine directly or indirectly a measure of core body temperature and to be used for vital monitoring purposes.The device is designed for medical use, not restricted to a specific medical indication, for acquisition of physiological signals. The device is intended to be used by, or under supervision of, a health professional within a clinical environment.
A temperature sensing device intended to be placed into a body orifice or on the body surface and used in conjunction with a separate parent device with a display (e.g., electronic patient thermometer, infant warmer) to enable measurement/monitoring of a patient’s temperature; its use is not dedicated to a specific type of procedure. It is typically constructed of flexible materials (e.g., plastic or rubber) with a metal conducting core; the distal end of different device types will be designed for a particular application site. This is a reusable device.
