Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
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.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
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

Interventions
Learn about the drugs, procedures, or behavioral strategies being tested and how they are applied within this trial.
Intraoperative temperature measurement by TMS thermometer
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 measurement
Standard temperature measurement as is being measured from patients during surgery today
