Application Spotlight - Predictive Thermometry

Amphenol Advanced Sensors: Predictive Thermometry is a highly accurate, repeatable, and fastresponding method of reading temperature for patients of all age groups in a clinical setting.

While traditional glass bulb thermometers take approximately 3 minutes to reach equilibrium with a patient’s body temperature, a predictive thermometer quickly analyzes temperature data gathered from an NTC thermistor to provide an accurate reading in 4 to 10 seconds.

Amphenol Advanced Sensors plays an important role in this application by providing highly accurate and robust assemblies using NTC thermistor technology for temperature measurement.

How do we help?

From the Amphenol Advanced Sensors family of brands, Thermometrics, Inc. carries an extensive line of interchangeable NTC chip thermistors, including Types 65, MA, and SC. These NTC thermistors are designed in small packages for rapid response while maintaining superior accuracy. In addition, these NTC thermistors can be incorporated into customer-specific designs to provide robust construction and ensuring long life in harsh clinical environments. This combination allows the thermometer to deliver timely diagnostic information by achieving an accurate body temperature reading in just seconds.
