MICRO SWITCH Position Switch: determines minimum and maximum position. |
| Dialysis Machine | Enhance patient treatment efficiency. | Pressure Sensor - Board Mount: measures air pressure and controls mattress air column inflation/deflation to prevent bedridden patients from developing bedsores. 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. |
| Infusion Pump | More accurately control fluid flow and minimize overheating. | 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. |
| 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. |

MICRO SWITCH Basic Switch: provides detection of covers, doors and drawers (blood/chemistry analyzers, chromatography, cytometry/cellular analysis, molecular diagnostics/PCR). Optical Sensor: provides sample identification through barcode (blood analyzer, cytometry/cellular analysis, molecular diagnostics/PCR); measures robotic element/vial position (chemistry analyzer); detects sample loading home/autoloading carousel position (chromatography). Pressure Sensor – Board Mount: regulates pump pressure to draw and transport samples (blood analyzer); measures pipette pressure for air/obstruction detection and pump/flushing systems (chemistry analyzer). Pressure Sensor – Board Mount or Pressure Transducer – Heavy Duty: measures fluid volume and detection of air and occlusion in pipetting system (blood analyzer, cytometry/cellular analysis, molecular diagnostics/PCR); provides sensing for sample injector and mobile/stationary phase (chromatography). Pressure Transducer – Heavy Duty: provides an alternative to board mount sensing for pump monitoring and flushing systems (chemistry analyzer). Barcode Scan Engine or Barcode Decoding Software: obtains positive patient confirmation, and often a brief code of the physician's order, before sampling (blood/chemistry analyzer, chromatography, cytometry/cellular analysis, molecular diagnostics/PCR). Thermistor or Temperature Sensor: monitors chamber temperature, diffusion lamps and oil-cooled motors to help prevent overheating (blood analyzer); monitors reagent and sample temperature (chemistry analyzer); cools sample and flow cell; provides temperature sensing (cytometry/cellular analysis). |
