Digital flow meter suits medical ventilators
The SFM3119 low-pressure-drop digital flow meter from Sensirion is in stock at distributor Mouser Electronics.
Sensirion’s SFM3119 digital flow meter features a sixth-generation silicon sensor chip and provides a temperature-compensated flow measurement.
This device is designed for accurate mass flow measurement of air, oxygen, and non-aggressive gases in ventilators.
A specially designed flow channel provides a low-pressure drop through the flow body of the sensor, making it ideal for medical ventilation and respiratory applications.
The meter is based on Sensirion's patented CMOSens technology, which combines a thermal sensor element, signal processing, and digital calibration on a single microchip for fast signal processing.
Applications for the meter include ventilation, anaesthesia, inspiratory flow sensing, and gas mixing.
