The RET-1 Rectal Probe for humans, neonatal rabbits, and larger animals. Flexible vinyl covered, soft tipped.
5 foot lead (can be made longer), 5/32'' max. tip diameter, max lead diameter 3/32''.
Time constant 5.0 seconds.
Time Constant is defined as the time required to reach 63% of final temperature in liquid. An accurate reading is obtained when the reading stops changing, typically 5-10 time constants.
Maximum Temperature refers to intermittent use of probe. When probe is used for continuous measurements, maximum temperature should be reduced by 25% unless specified.
