The tympanic membrane is a thin, semitransparent membrane in the middle ear that transmits sound vibrations. Since the tympanic membrane is within close proximity to the carotid artery which supplies the hypothalamus, the body’s thermostat, it is recognized as an excellent alternative location to provide an accurate and reliable core body temperature measurement.
Because the tympanic membrane is extremely fragile, placement of the sensor is important. Accuracy of the temperature measurement relies on creating a seal that prevents air flow between the auditory canal and the environment.
NOVATEMP® Tympanic Temperature Sensors utilize a gentle, layered material that conforms to the fragile tympanic membrane for a reliable measurement of core body temperature, second only to Esophageal Stethoscopes in accuracy. NOVAMED's unique tympanic design facilitates ease of placement while minimizing risk of tympanic membrane perforation.
