| Dialysis Machine | Enhance patient treatment efficiency. | Force Sensor: detects the presence/absence of a fresh dialysate cartridge before machine can be used; monitors dialysate flexible tubing pressure so the pressure doesn’t exceed a specified level; monitors dialysate weight to detect whether there is a specified amount in the fresh cartridge Hall-Effect Magnetic Position Sensor IC: provides reliable, accurate output for smooth motor control that reduces noise and vibration in the motor assembly Pressure Sensor – Board Mount: obtains a direct, in-line continuous dialysate and venous pressure measurement in the dialysis membrane without interrupting flow Pressure Transducer – Heavy Duty: helps to monitor fresh dialysate cartridge pressure in the flexible tubing that carries blood or dialysate to provide continuous feedback of line pressures and pump control Thermistor: provides temperature measurement for enhanced control of the permeation rate across the dialysis membrane |
| Infusion Pump | More accurately control fluid flow and minimize overheating. | Device with an Embedded Honeywell Barcode Reader: tethered barcode readers support identification and delivery process F
orc
e Sensor
: provides an occlusion detector to detect blockage in the pump’s tube that delivers medication to the patient Hall-Effect Magnetic Position or Magnetoresistive Sensor IC: provides reliable, accurate output for smooth motor control that reduces noise and vibration in the pump’s motor assembly and improves efficiency Pressure Sensor – Board Mount: monitors and controls fluid flow |
| Oxygen Concentrator | Enhance response time, minimize oxygen waste, reduce power consumption and improve portability. | Airflow Sensor: detects ultra-low levels at 0.1 cm3 to detect when the patient exhales and when the system should reduce airflow Pressure Sensor – Board Mount: detects when the patient begins to inhale so that oxygen can be delivered more efficiently and effectively Pressure Switch: acts as a high-pressure warning, alerting the user by activating an indicator light if the pressure exceeds a specified limit Pressure Transducer – Heavy Duty: senses pressure from the surge tank, providing feedback to the compressor that allows it to maintain the desired pressure level |
| Patient Monitoring | More accurately control blood glucose and temperature monitoring. | Barcode Decoding Software: enables tracking of the patient via a mobile device Pressure Sensor – Board Mount: controls the pumps used to draw the blood in continuous glucose monitors and returns it to the patient Thermistor: monitors patient temperature |
