Temperature Probes and Cables for Continuous Monitoring
Where a thermometer takes a spot reading, temperature probes provide continuous body temperature on a bedside monitor or patient warming system. This category groups the probes by measurement route - skin surface, esophageal, rectal, nasopharyngeal and airway - and the adapter and extension cables that connect a probe to the monitor. Probes are stocked in reusable and single-patient-use construction, and both are grouped by the connector series (commonly YSI-400 and YSI-700 compatible) that determines monitor compatibility.
Temperature Probe Types Stocked
- Skin surface probes - Adhesive-backed probes that read temperature from the skin, used in the OR and ICU and with forced-air and conductive warming systems.
- Esophageal / rectal probes - General-purpose core temperature probes for continuous monitoring under anesthesia and in critical care, in reusable and single-patient-use versions.
- Nasopharyngeal probes - Soft probes for core temperature during anesthesia.
- Airway / breathing circuit probes - Probes that read temperature in the ventilator circuit alongside humidification and warming.
- Adapter and extension cables - Reusable cables that connect a disposable or reusable probe to the bedside monitor, grouped by YSI-400 and YSI-700 series compatibility and by monitor brand connector.
Probe Route and Connector Compatibility
| Probe Route | Construction | Connector Series | Typical Setting |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skin surface | Single-use adhesive, reusable | YSI-400 / YSI-700 | OR, ICU, warming therapy |
| Esophageal / rectal | Single-use, reusable | YSI-400 / YSI-700 | Anesthesia, critical care |
| Nasopharyngeal | Single-use | YSI-400 | Anesthesia |
| Airway / circuit | Reusable | Brand-specific | Ventilated patients |
Reusable and Single-Patient-Use Construction
Probes are stocked in two constructions. Single-patient-use probes are discarded after one patient and reordered at case volume, common where cross-contamination control or turnover speed matters. Reusable probes are cleaned and reprocessed between patients and replaced on wear. Cables are almost always reusable and grouped by connector series so a facility matches the cable to both the probe series and the installed monitor. Because probes and cables mix single-use and reusable items, facilities separate the reordering streams - disposable probes on standing order, cables replaced as needed.
Temperature probes and cables are recurring accessories tied to the operating room and critical care bed base, where continuous core temperature is monitored during anesthesia, warming therapy and post-operative recovery. Grouping probes and cables by connector series keeps monitor compatibility predictable and simplifies par-level management for materials management teams.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between YSI-400 and YSI-700 temperature probes?
YSI-400 and YSI-700 are two thermistor series that define the probe's electrical characteristics and connector, and a probe must match the temperature input on the monitor. YSI-400 is a single-thermistor series and YSI-700 is a dual-thermistor series; they are not interchangeable. Probes and adapter cables are stocked and grouped by series so a facility orders the version compatible with its installed bedside monitors.
Which temperature probe routes are stocked?
The catalog stocks skin surface probes for the OR, ICU and warming therapy, esophageal and rectal probes for core temperature under anesthesia and in critical care, nasopharyngeal probes for anesthesia, and airway probes that read temperature in the ventilator circuit. Each route is available in single-patient-use and, where applicable, reusable construction, grouped by connector series.
Are temperature probes single-patient-use or reusable?
Both. Single-patient-use probes are discarded after one patient and reordered at case volume, which suits high-turnover and infection-control settings. Reusable probes are cleaned and reprocessed between patients and replaced on wear. Adapter and extension cables are reusable and grouped by connector series and monitor brand so they match both the probe and the installed monitor.
Can hospitals and surgery centers order temperature probes in bulk?
Yes. Skin surface, esophageal, rectal, nasopharyngeal and airway temperature probes and their adapter cables are stocked in case quantities for hospitals, surgery centers, ambulatory surgery centers and licensed medical distributors. Standing order programs are available for high-velocity single-patient-use probes used in the OR and ICU. Contact our procurement team for tiered case pricing and standing order setup.
What temperature probes should be in an OR and ICU formulary?
A temperature probe formulary typically includes single-patient-use skin surface probes for warming therapy, esophageal/rectal core probes in the connector series matching the installed monitors, nasopharyngeal probes for anesthesia, and reusable adapter and extension cables grouped by YSI-400 and YSI-700 compatibility. Airway circuit probes are added for units with ventilated patients.
