Temp Probe for CMS 5100

The CMS 5100 patient monitor typically uses a temperature probe to accurately measure body temperature in patients. Depending on the specific model and configuration, there are a few types of temperature probes that can be compatible with the CMS 5100 monitor.

Common Types of Temperature Probes for the CMS 5100:

1. Thermistor Probes:

   • These probes use a thermistor sensor, which is sensitive to temperature changes, providing quick and accurate readings.
   • They are often used for both adult and pediatric patients.

2. Infrared Ear Probes:

   • Used for non-invasive measurements, these probes measure the infrared heat emitted by the eardrum.
   • They are fast and suitable for quick assessments, especially in pediatric patients.

3. Disposable Temperature Probes:

   • These are single-use probes that help reduce the risk of cross-contamination between patients.
   • Typically used in environments where infection control is crucial.

Features to Consider:

• Compatibility: Ensure the probe is compatible with the CMS 5100 model to guarantee proper functionality.
• Calibration: Regular calibration is essential for accurate readings. Check if the probe requires calibration and how often.
• Length and Flexibility: Depending on the application (e.g., oral, rectal, or axillary), consider the length and flexibility of the probe for ease of use.

Purchasing Probes:

When looking to purchase a temperature probe for the CMS 5100, you can consider the following options:

• Manufacturer's Recommendations: Check with the manufacturer of the CMS 5100 for compatible probes to ensure optimal performance.
• Medical Supply Companies: Many suppliers specialize in medical devices and can provide compatible temperature probes for the CMS 5100.
