A medical pressure sensor can measure the pressure inside the chamber, record it, and determine the pressure volume to be applied during the course of treatment. Typically, an absolute pressure sensor that is effective at sensing pressures will be used for this. Despite the fact that the pressures these soft chambers may reach are lower than those of professional-grade difficult chambers, even this most commercial of therapies is making its way into patients’ homes.
A growing variety of disposable pressure sensors based on methods that can be used inside the body or in line with fluids entering the body are currently being produced by manufacturers for use in medical applications. These are made in orderly environments and in accordance with recognised industry standards, such as those established by the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI).
The Global Medical Pressure Sensors Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Wearable and implanted sensors can now be used to track a variety of patient health indicators thanks to recent technological advancements. Wearable pressure sensors are made to react to minute changes in body pressure, enabling highly sensitive real-time monitoring of physiological processes like heart rate, blood pressure, breathing rate, and even minute variations in voice cord vibrations.
Clippard (Cincinnati) announced the addition of a new transducer line to its Cordis family. The new piezoresistive silicone pressure sensors can be used as a stand-alone transducer or as feedback for Clippard’s CPC Pressure Controller. The available output ranges at this time are 0 to 5 VDC, 0 to 10 VDC, and 0.5 to 4.5 VDC.
The new transducers are temperature-compensated and conditional. They provide a calibrated specifically for the needs of the application. The features, in accordance with Clippard, enable a full-scale accuracy of 0.25% over the calibrated range. All wet materials are compatible with oxygen. Manifold mounting also gets rid of any potential contamination during assembly, according to Clippard.
A system-in-a-sensor, application-specific pressure sensor platform for HVAC, medical, and industrial products, NimbleSense architecture from Superior Sensor Technology includes an integrated pressure switch feature with three threshold pressure modes. Additionally, the new pressure switch capability increases design flexibility, minimises product design complexity, reduces PCB board space, reduces power consumption, and lowers manufacturing costs.
When a specific pressure threshold is reached, a pressure switch responds in a failsafe manner. As a result, pressure switches are an essential part of numerous medical devices, HVAC systems, and industrial products and frequently act as a safety feature. When a specific air pressure level is reached, the switch activates as an on/off mechanism.
The NimbleSense architecture, which is exclusive to the sector, uses an integrated building block approach to simplify product design while allowing customers to purchase pressure sensors with features tailored to their product application needs.
The SM933X Series of ultra-low MEMS pressure sensor systems is offered by SMI (Silicon Microstructures Inc.). With pressure ranges as low as 125 Pa (0.50 inH2O), the temperature-compensated and pressure-calibrated sensor enables accurate pressure sensing in industrial, HVAC, and medical applications. By combining a signal-conditioning IC and SMI’s proprietary MEMS pressure transducer in a single package, output accuracy (1% FS) and long-term stability are made possible.
No matter the length of the tubing, the SM933X provides high performance for flow sensing applications and is unaffected by airflow particles. For CPAP flow sensing, ultra low pressure sensors are used in the medical industry. The sensor’s high resolution, low noise performance, and insensitivity to mounting orientation make it easier to integrate and use in CPAP devices.
