Temperature monitoring capsule eCelsius Medical

compactfor researchclinical

The temperature variable is a key indicator of the patient’s febrile state. The continuous nature of the measurement is quite difficult to obtain and only a few restrictive devices (rectal, esophageal probes, etc.) allow continuous core temperature monitoring. eCelsius Medical system, class IIa medical device, is a miniaturized ingestible capsule that transmits core body temperature data continuously. This capsule communicates in real time with a dedicated monitor, eViewer Medical, at a sampling period of 30 seconds. This monitor allows data recording and an alert may be triggered if a threshold has been exceeded. The communication distance between the capsule and the monitor ranges is around 1m (depending on environment and patient). The capsule also has its own memory. In the case of a communication disruption between the monitor and the capsule, an a posteriori automatic synchronization of the data is performed. The capsule is removed on the natural way; the operational lifetime corresponds thus to the transit time (24-48h on average). The capsule is a single-use device delivered sterile and in a stand-by mode. An activation box allows you to associate the eCelsius Medical capsule with the eViewer Medical monitor. A single monitor can manage up to three capsules simultaneously for mid/long term uses.
