Three key factors for selecting a force vs. pressure sensor for an infusion pump

<

Modularly designed sensors are available in a single model to meet the diverse application requirements of infusion pump manufacturers.

Reliability, sensitivity, and miniaturization are three key factors that product designers need to consider when selecting a force and pressure sensor for an infusion pump that delivers medication to a patient via a vein. As infusion pumps move from bulky to portable, no bed-in-place and implantable devices, designers should consider a sensor platform with a wide range of options to facilitate the implementation of different design concepts.

Designers should also consider pressure sensors with full compensation, amplification, and calibration features to reduce total cost, increase reliability, and achieve faster time to market.

The sensor platform not only supports custom calibration, but also offers multiple output, power, stress, mounting and packaging options to maximize design flexibility.

The force and pressure sensors must be highly reliable and sensitive to ensure accurate delivery of the required amount of medication to the patient. A pump-mounted pressure sensor is used inside the pump to detect and assist in controlling the flow of fluid. A force sensor external to the pump measures the force inside the drug delivery line, detects blockage inside the pump line, and sounds an audible alarm when no medication is available. In addition, these sensors are modular in design and require a single model to meet the diverse application needs of infusion pump manufacturers.

Respiratory Protection

Respiratory Protection is a device designed to protect the wearer from inhaling particulate matter, including airborne microorganisms, fumes, vapours and gases. There are two main categories: the air-purifying respirator which forces contaminated air through a filtering element, and the air-supplied respirator in which an alternate supply of fresh air is delivered. Within each category, different techniques are employed to reduce or eliminate noxious airborne contaminants.

Respirators range from relatively inexpensive single-use, disposable face masks to more robust reusable models with replaceable cartridges.

They are also sometimes referred to as a dust mask or a gas mask.
