General-purpose patient temperature probes are disposable, flexible sensors designed to measure body temperature when inserted into orifices (like the mouth, rectum, or ear) or placed on the skin. They connect to external devices like electronic thermometers or infant warmers to display real-time temperature readings, supporting clinical assessments across various patient settings.
These probes are regulated as single-use medical devices, typically requiring compliance with general safety and performance standards. They are widely available through hospitals, clinics, and retail channels, often classified based on their intended use site (e.g., oral, rectal, or tympanic) rather than a fixed regulatory class.
