High performance sensors for the medical industry

Morgan Advanced Materials has launched a new range of high performance air in-line and occlusion sensors for the medical sector.

Capable of delivering non-invasive air bubble detection and accurately measuring pressure changes in tubes leading into the body, the new range provides a highly precise means of monitoring safety-critical events in medical products such as infusion pumps, enteral feeding pumps, dialysis equipment and other fluid-handling applications. The latest air in-line sensor technology has been developed in response to the large variation in tube sizes and materials used in the medical market for drug delivery and fluid management. Morgan now offers three standard designs accommodating a large range of tube sizes. A key feature of the new sensors is their optional digital electronics, which can be programmed to detect air bubbles of different sizes depending on requirement and provide an output reading of air bubbles detected. The technology is available in an established flat surface option and an innovative curved design, which offers enhanced performance and greater sensitivity across a larger range of tube sizes. It does not require external clamping, while its highly engineered shape delivers reduced signal settling time, enabling faster set-up for operators and improved stability signal over time.
