About this study
Official title: Clinical Evaluation of TMS (Temperature Monitoring System) Performance
This Clinical study is preformed in order to estimate the performance of the TMS thermometer and to make a final tuning of the thermometer mathematical algorithm.
Body temperature of men, women and children will be measured using the TMS thermometer.
Each Patient will be measured both with the TMS thermometer and with an esophageal or urinal thermometer as a reference.
Read the detailed description
Temperature measurement is vital during surgery. Accurate temperature reading can indicate patient's condition and alarm if something is wrong.
Nowadays, during surgeries temperature is measured mostly using an esophageal or a urinal thermometer, both of which are invasive, therefore they complicate the procedure and require time and activity of the medical stuff.
The TMS thermometer combines a noninvasive, biocompatible patch, which is attached to the body, and a receiving unit, which is placed near the body or the vital signs monitors and receives data from the patch. There is no connection between the body and the receiving unit. The measurement is based on a conductive sensor that measures the skin temperature and applies special algorithm in order to calculate the core body temperature.
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the performance of the TMS thermometer and improve its algorithm by comparing its measurement to the esophageal or urinal temperature measurement

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Intraoperative temperature measurement by TMS thermometerDevice
Measurements will be taken from the patient's body using a biocompatible patch that will transfer data to the receiving unit. The patch will be sterilized before each surgery.
Esophageal or urinary bladder temperature measurementDevice
Standard temperature measurement as is being measured from patients during surgery today
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Correlation between TMS and the esophageal/urinary temperature measurements
TMS will track patient's temperature during the operation concurrently with esophageal and/or urinary temperature sensor. Correlation will be calculated between both temperature measurement methods and tracking ability of the changes in patient's temperature during the operation will be compared.
Measured: The results of this study will be presented in 6 months from today (an average)
