Newborns, especially premature infants, are extremely sensitive to environmental temperature. The baby incubator needs to maintain a constant temperature of 32-37 ℃, and temperature deviations exceeding ± 0.3 ℃ may affect the baby's health. The PT1000 sensor of the Tongzida baby incubator has become the preferred temperature measurement component for neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) due to its ultra-high precision and stability.

H2: Extreme requirements for temperature sensors in baby incubators
The infant incubator in NICU requires sensors with measurement accuracy of ≤± 0.05 ℃, response time of ≤ 0.8s, strong long-term stability (avoiding frequent calibration), and low power consumption (not generating additional heat). Compared to traditional sensors, the PT1000 sensor for baby incubators has a higher initial resistance and lower self heating coefficient, making it perfectly suitable for the precise temperature control needs of incubators.
Ultra high precision temperature control: Adopting a 1/10B precision standard, the PT1000 sensor in the baby incubator has a measurement error of ≤± 0.03 ℃, capturing temperature fluctuations in real time and providing a stable environment for premature infants;
Rapid response capability: The thermal response time is as low as 0.5s. When there is a slight change in the temperature of the insulation box, the sensor immediately provides feedback to ensure rapid adjustment of the equipment;
Low power design: The working current is only 0.02mA, and the self heating effect can be ignored to avoid the sensor heating affecting the temperature inside the box, ensuring the safety of infants.

H2: Hospital application case: Temperature safety upgrade of NICU
The NICU of a certain children's hospital once experienced temperature fluctuations in the incubator exceeding 0.5 ℃ due to delayed sensor response, leading to unstable body temperature in premature infants. After replacing the PT1000 sensor of the Tongzida baby incubator, the temperature fluctuation was controlled within ± 0.05 ℃, and the incidence of complications in premature infants decreased by 30%. The head nurse of the neonatology department said, "Precise temperature control is the lifeline of premature infants, and Tongzida's sensors make us feel more at ease
