Medline 400 Series Temperature Sensing Foley Catheter - Straight Tip

Medline 400 Series Temperature Sensing Catheter Attributes

• 8" side arm is a sealed electrical connection away from the patient
• Smooth tip for easy insertion without buckling
• Accuracy within +/- 0.2degree
• Works with most hypothermia units, anesthesia machines and patient monitors from GE, Philips, Siemens Climate Solutions and others
• Saves nursing time monitoring temperature where Foley catheterization is already indicated

Temperature Sensing Foley Catheter Benefit

• Improving Patient Outcomes In the OR
  - Comply with SCIP-Inf-10 by monitoring the patients core temperature with an integrated thermistor
  - Maintaining normothermia with the aid of temperature sensing catheters may help avoid SSIs, cardiac events, bleeding, longer recovery times and longer drug onsets and durations


• Improving Patient Outcomes In Therapeutic Hypothermia
  - In Therapeutic HypothermiaThe greatest patient benefit often occurs within a narrow temperature range
  - Bladder temperature probes enable continuous monitoring and feedback in conjunction with hypothermia devices
  - Other techniques, including intermittent tympanic temperature measurements, are less reliable


• Improving Patient Outcomes In the ICU
  - The ability to use a temperature sensing catheter to measure both urine output and continuous body temperature is a distinct advantage, which may eliminate the need to measure temperature at other sites
