Liquid Flow Sensor Wins Innovation Prize

sensirionliquidflowsensor

Sensirion recently won the DeviceMed OEM-Components innovation prize at the Compamed 2014 exhibition. The disposable liquid flow sensor LD20-2000T for medical devices features an integrated thermal sensor element in a microchip. The pinhead-sized device is based on Sensirion’s CMOSens technology.sensirionliquidflowsensor

The LD20-2000T disposable liquid flow sensor provides liquid flow measurement capability from inside medical tubing (e.g., a catheter) in a low-cost sensor, suitable for disposable applications. As a result, you can measure drug delivery from an infusion set, an infusion pump, or other medical device in real time.

A microchip inside the disposable sensor measures the flow inside a fluidic channel. Accurate (~5%) flow rates from 0 to 420 ml/h and beyond can be measured. Inert medical-grade wetted materials ensure sterile operation with no contamination of the fluid. The straight, open flow channel with no moving parts provides high reliability. Using Sensirion’s CMOSens technology, the fully calibrated signal is processed and linearized on the 7.4 mm2 chip.
