Reusable GE temperature probes for patient monitoring: 2107176-031/-032/-033 and cable 2104178-002
Continuous body temperature control is a standard part of patient monitoring during anesthesia, in intensive care and in critical care. Temperature change helps track the patient's condition, the risk of hypothermia and the response to treatment.
In this guide we look at the range of reusable GE temperature probes and the temperature measurement cable: 2107176-031 (esophageal/rectal, adult), 2107176-032 (esophageal/rectal, pediatric), 2107176-033 (skin, adult) and 2104178-002 (cable).
1. Why measure temperature continuously
During long operations and in the ICU, body temperature can change significantly:
- •hypothermia — risk of shivering, increased blood loss and delayed emergence;
- •hyperthermia — risk of overheating, especially in children.
Continuous temperature monitoring allows deviations to be detected in time and warming or treatment to be adjusted.
2. Types of temperature probe
Temperature probes differ by measurement site:
- •Esophageal/rectal — measures core (central) temperature, the most informative.
- •Skin — measures surface temperature, less invasive, used for trends.
Our catalogue offers reusable probes for different applications.
3. Item breakdown
3.1. 2107176-031 — reusable temperature probe (esophageal/rectal, adult)
PN: 2107176-031
- •Reusable probe for measuring core temperature in adults.
- •Used esophageally or rectally.
- •Requires a cable (for example 2104178-002) to connect to the monitor.
3.2. 2107176-032 — reusable temperature probe (pediatric)
PN: 2107176-032
- •Reusable esophageal/rectal probe for children (reduced size).
- •Suitable for pediatric departments and operating theatres.
3.3. 2107176-033 — reusable temperature probe (skin, adult)
PN: 2107176-033
- •Reusable skin probe for adults.
- •Fixed on the skin, measures surface temperature.
3.4. 2104178-002 — temperature measurement cable
PN: 2104178-002
- •Connecting cable between the temperature probe and the patient monitor.
- •Carries the signal from the probe to the measurement module.
4. How to choose a probe
- •For invasive measurement of core temperature in adults — 2107176-031.
- •For pediatrics — 2107176-032.
- •For non-invasive skin measurement — 2107176-033.
- •In every case you will need cable 2104178-002 to connect to the monitor.
The exact compatibility of probes and cable with a particular monitor is confirmed by the equipment model. Before ordering, send the monitor model to an engineer.
5. Care of reusable probes
- •Clean and disinfect after every patient according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- •Use solutions approved for the probes, avoid immersion in liquid.
- •Check the integrity of the cable and connectors.
- •Store in a clean, dry place.
6. Troubleshooting
- •No temperature readings — check that cable 2104178-002 is connected to the monitor and to the probe.
- •Unstable/false readings — check the integrity of the wire and connectors.
- •Probe error on the monitor — replace the probe and check the cable.
7. Compatibility table
| PN | Item | Application | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2107176-031 | temperature probe, esophageal/rectal, adult | core temperature | cable 2104178-002 required |
| 2107176-032 | temperature probe, esophageal/rectal, pediatric | pediatrics | cable 2104178-002 required |
| 2107176-033 | temperature probe, skin, adult | surface temperature | cable 2104178-002 required |
| 2104178-002 | temperature measurement cable | probe → monitor connection | compatibility by model |
Exact compatibility depends on the monitor platform. Before ordering, send the device model.
8. Common mistakes
- •Choosing a probe without regard to the measurement site. Esophageal/rectal and skin probes are not interchangeable in purpose.
- •No cable. A probe without cable 2104178-002 cannot be connected to the monitor.
- •Incorrect care. Immersing the probe in liquid puts it out of service.
- •Ignoring the monitor model. Connector compatibility varies.
