Thermistors
Applications
A complete line of standard sub-assemblies is available.
Continuous research and development efforts within
Thermometrics 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 32°F to 122°F
(0°C to 50°C) .
Although low in cost , these highly stable,
precision thermochips provide the reliability, tight
interchangeable tolerances, geometries, and fast
response times that are often required. Thermometrics
employs experienced applications engineers who
welcome inquiries, whether for assistance, or to help
with your design requirements concerning new and
existing applications.
Our Biomedical Chip Thermistor assemblies are
designed for use in applications involving both
intermittent and continuous patient temperature
monitoring. Repeatability and fast response are
essential not only for the intermittent temperature
requirements associated with oral and rectal fever
measurements, but also with the continuous monitoring
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 monitoring for skin surface,
tympanic, esophageal, foley catheters and biofeedback
applications has also improved due to the high stability
and tight interchangeable tolerances designed into
each Thermometrics’ Biomedical assembly.

Designed for use in catheter assemblies, these sensors
are available with nominal resistance values of 2252,
3000, 5000, and 10,000 Ω at 77°F (25°C). Close monitor-
ing of manufacturing processes allow Thermometrics
to maintain tight interchangeability tolerances with
volume production. Typical design parameters are rep-
resented in Assembly Type table.
0.030 in (0.76 mm) (10 KΩ only) and 0.050 in(1.27mm)
diameters available with kapton sleeve only.
0.070 in (1.78 mm) diameter normally supplied with
molded plastic tip.
Routine continuous patient temperature monitoring is
now feasible by using the convenience of the patient’s
skin site as an indicator of body temperature. The stain-
less steel housing used is suitable for both reusable and
disposable applications, while maintaining maximum
patient comfort . Nominal resistance values of 2252,
3000, 5000, and 10,000 Ω at 77°F (25°C) are available.
Refer to Assembly Type table for typical design param-
eters.

over a 32°F to 122°F (0°C to 50°C) range. Best overall
stability is maintained when exposure and storage
temperatures remain below 158°F (70°C).
