Two-piece liquid flow sensor offers low-cost performance
At this year's MD&M West trade fair, Sensirion will present its range of sensors for measuring gas, liquid flow and differential pressure. With the goal of separating the core sensing element from other complex electronics, Sensirion has developed a two-piece, click-in redesign of the disposable liquid flow sensor LD20-2000T, which improves cost-efficiency while retaining performance on a compact footprint.
With the reduction of the disposable part to a bare minimum, Sensirion’s flow measurement solution is suitable for medical applications such as infusions and catheters. In these applications, flow rates and monitoring of failure modes are essential to patient safety and the quality of the therapy.
The click-in connection between the disposable sensor element and reusable part offers a quick and easy solution for communication and mechanical integration of the sensor.
Sensirion says that the use of its intelligent, compact, disposable liquid flow sensors will change the field of drug delivery from the ground up and enable solutions that are safer, more reliable and more mobile for care in hospital and at home.
