Blood pressore sensors for medical equipments
In the healthcare sector, accurate blood pressure monitoring is crucial for assessing general health and diagnosing diseases, particularly hypertension.
This is vital not only for routine monitoring but also during critical surgical procedures, such as Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO), which requires precise online monitoring.
ECMO involves pumping blood outside the body for carbon dioxide removal and reoxygenation before returning it to the patient. For effective monitoring in such applications, blood pressure monitors with an extended reading range, like Merit Sensor's BP Series, are highly beneficial.
Merit Sensor Systems, a globally recognized company, specializes in designing and producing accurate, piezoresistive technology-based pressure sensors. Their BP Series includes sensors suitable for various blood pressure monitoring applications, including an extended range version for ECMO.
The BP+T, designed for ultra-compact applications measuring temperature, complements the standard BP Series.
Merit Sensor's sensors are ideal for invasive blood pressure monitoring, ensuring reliable signals without temperature correction.
The compact design, compliant with AAMI BP22 and RoHS standards, facilitates integration into medical devices. The small seal diameter minimizes blood contact, reducing the risk of clotting. Media-compatible medical dielectric gel ensures compatibility, and an IMDS file simplifies verification.
Merit Sensor's devices are employed in innovative lung support therapies and blood pressure sensors, contributing to lightweight emergency response cardiopulmonary support systems. These high-quality sensors, capable of handling pressure peaks in ECMO, offer a cost-effective solution for disposable medical devices.
