Abstract
A probe assembly includes at least two electrodes for measuring a potential difference between two measurement sites of a tissue of a human or animal organ and at least one sensor for measuring the tissue temperature. The probe assembly further includes a common support on which are placed the electrodes and the sensor. The support comprises conductors for linking the electrodes and the sensor to a signal processing unit with a view to calculating the tissue pH of the organ.
