CIRCA S-CATH™ Esophageal Temperature Probe 

Ref. #: CS-2001

During therapeutic procedures, esophageal temperatures can change quickly. The new and improved S-CATH provides faster, more accurate temperature detection to both HOT and COLD temperature changes. The probe deploys an array of 12 electrically insulated, coated, fast response temperature sensors on a uniquely designed soft, flexible, “S” shape providing Edge-to-Edge coverage. This unique design positions temperature sensors close to the source of a esophageal temperature change. The data is displayed directly on the CIRCA monitor, which is updated 20x per second, providing faster detection of esophageal temperature changes.

17 Seconds Faster
In an independent study of 198 applications in 10 patients, the S-CATH recognized an initial temperature rise of 0.2ºC 17 seconds faster than a single sensor probe. (13.4+7.5 vs.30.5+15.4 s; P, 0.001), providing the clinician time to respond to damaging temperature changes.¹

Edge-to-Edge Coverage
In the same independent prospective study of 198 applications in 10 patients, a temperature rise of >2.0°C was recorded 40 times by the S-CATH. Single sensor probes missed 90% of those temperature rises.¹
