1. A method of manufacturing a heat-sealed monitoring probe which comprises a plurality of sensor elements and at least two outer layers of conformable material which substantially prevent interchange of fluids between an ambient environment extant around said probe and said plurality of sensor elements, said method comprising the steps of:

  • forming a first heat-sealed seam in a predetermined pattern substantially around a portion of the periphery of said at least two outer layers to form a pocket which is adapted to receive, enclose and secure said plurality of sensor elements in a predetermined position;

    inserting said plurality of sensor elements in said pocket; and

    forming a second heat-sealed seam in a predetermined pattern, which joins with said first heat-sealed seam formed around said portion of the periphery of said at least two outer layers, to completely enclose said plurality of sensor elements within said pocket, isolated from said ambient environment.
