Title:
温熱式の鼓室体温計先端
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2006509576
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of assembling a tympanic thermometer comprising:
providing a heat sensing probe including a thermally insulating sensor housing; forming the sensor housing from a thermally insulating material;
mounting a sensor can on the thermally insulating sensor housing, the sensor can including temperature sensing electronics for sensing temperature via the heat sensing probe;
mounting a thermally conductive nozzle onto the thermally insulating sensor housing, said nozzle including a thermal conductive base and an elongated cylindrical nose portion; and
configuring the nozzle, sensor can and housing to direct heat flux from the distal end of the sensor can to a proximal end of said sensor can and to reduce the temperature gradient from a can tip to a sensor base.
