Which Temperature Probe is used in your lab?

The most commonly used esophageal temperature probe is an 18 Fr Acoustascope model that insulates the thermistor, slowing thermal response by a factor of 3 and dilates the esophagus with a 27 Fr balloon. 

See the handout for faster responding and smaller diameter alternatives that cost less than $10.  (We do not sell these.)
