What Is the 21082A Compatible Temperature Adapter Cable?

The IPR Medical TA-PH-PM30 is a compatible aftermarket (not OEM) temperature adapter cable that replaces OEM part 21082A. Designed for use with 1/8″ mini-phone 400 Series temperature probes, it has a 9.8 ft (3.0 m) cable. Because the adapter is reusable, the same cable can serve one patient case after another with cleaning and an inspection in between.

Compatible Monitor Models

The Specifications tab carries the complete Compatible Monitor Models table for this adapter. Nearly all of its entries are models from the OEM behind part 21082A; the remainder are the Welch Allyn Propaq CS and the Contec Patient Simulator MS400. Confirm that your model appears there before ordering.

Design and Construction

What sets the TA-PH-PM30 apart is the probe format it is listed for: 1/8″ mini-phone 400 Series. It links a probe of that type to the compatible equipment shown in the table. Every adapter ships one per bag and is meant for reuse, so clean it after each patient according to facility protocol.

When to Replace Your Mini-Phone Temperature Adapter Cable

Intermittent temperature readings, a no-probe message while a probe is plugged in, or a value that wanders as the cable is flexed are the usual clues that this adapter is failing. Check the probe connection for a loose fit, the jacket for splits or sharp kinks, and the monitor-side connector for a cracked housing or bent pins. If a probe that reads poorly through this adapter reads normally through another one, retire the adapter.

Cross Reference and Interchange Part Numbers

Records that list OEM part 21082A or OEM number 989803100921 point to this compatible adapter. An aftermarket equivalent is also on record and appears, with its brand, on the Specifications tab under Cross Reference / Interchange Part Numbers.
