Esophageal Temperature
Probe S-CATH
M

S-CATH M is the only fast-response multi-sensor esophageal temperature probe visible in 3D mapping systems that is designed to provide high-density, edge-to-edge coverage of the esophagus during therapeutic procedures performed in the operating room and laboratory. EP.

Details of the product

  • Four new electrodes
    Mark the center line of the probe.
  • Minimal metal exposure
    Pebax insulation covers 75% of the electrode surface, limiting the amount of metal exposed to only what is absolutely necessary to be detected in 3D cardiac mapping systems.
  • Visibility in context
    The visibility of impedance-based 3D cardiac mapping systems allows physicians to see the location of the esophageal tube* in the context of nearby anatomical structures.
  • Reliable precision
    12 sensors, intelligently placed, provide the same high-density edge-to-edge coverage you expect from CIRCA Scientific.
  • Benefits
    • Visibility in 3D context
      • Visibility in impedance-based 3D cardiac mapping systems allows doctors to see the location of the esophageal tube.
    • Minimal metal exposure
      • S-CATH M's patented electrode design uses PEBAX insulation to cover more than 50% of the electrode surface.
    • High accuracy
      • The new S-CATH M, with its familiar sine shape, continues to deliver the performance you expect from CIRCA Scientific.
    • Edge-to-edge coverage
      • It intelligently places 12 sensors along the length and width of the esophagus, ensuring that critical temperature changes are not missed.
