What Is the GE Compatible Adult Oral/Rectal Temperature Probe?

This GE Healthcare compatible adult general-purpose temperature probe is a reusable, aftermarket oral/rectal probe for GE Marquette and CARESCAPE patient monitors. It combines a 4.0 mm (0.16 in) probe tip and a 9.8 ft (3.0 m) cable with a GE-style monitor connector in a single direct-connect assembly, so no separate temperature adapter cable is needed. It is a compatible replacement, not an original GE part, and it is built to OEM fit, form, and function.

Compatible Monitor Models

This compatible probe is confirmed for use with GE CARESCAPE B450, B650, and B850 monitors and the GE B40, as well as Marquette Dash and Solar monitors, Eagle monitors, Tram and Tram 451 modules, the PDM module, and Cath-Lab and MAC-Lab hemodynamic systems. It also fits the Datex-Ohmeda E-PRESTN parameter module.

Design and Construction

The slim 4.0 mm (0.16 in) general-purpose tip is sized for adult oral and rectal temperature measurement, providing continuous core temperature readings in the ICU, OR, PACU, and emergency department. The 9.8 ft (3.0 m) cable reaches from the patient to a bedside, wall-, or pole-mounted monitor, and the GE-style connector plugs directly into the monitor’s temperature input. The probe is reusable after cleaning and disinfection according to facility protocol and ships one per bag. Use with disposable probe covers per facility practice.

When to Replace Your GE Oral/Rectal Temperature Probe

Replace the probe when the monitor shows “temp probe off,” “no probe,” or readings that are out of range or drift compared with a reference thermometer, when readings drop out as the cable is moved, or when the probe tip is cracked or discolored, the cable jacket is damaged, or the connector pins are bent or corroded. Checking the temperature channel with a simulator or a known-good probe quickly shows whether the probe or the monitor input is at fault.

Cross Reference and Interchange Part Numbers

This compatible adult general-purpose oral/rectal temperature probe, IPR Medical SKU TS-MQ-AG30, interchanges with Unimed TMQ-AG. As a one-piece direct-connect probe, it takes the place of a separate 400-series general-purpose probe used with a GE 2021701-001 temperature adapter cable. IPR Medical also stocks the matching direct-connect adult skin surface probe, SKU TS-MQ-AS30.
