AB  - We evaluated five units (four modules and one stand-alone) from five 
      manufacturers. All units were rated Acceptable. Most of the test results met our 
      accuracy and precision criteria; other units that demonstrated a small margin of 
      error were still clinically useful. The utility of the thermal dilution (TD) 
      method depends largely on proper technique, as well as the volume and temperature 
      of the injection, number of injections, and the type of probe used.
