TE sensors are applied in the following areas of medical pumps and, more specifically, infusion pumps:
- Force sensors to detect occlusions to confirm there is no blockage in the tube that delivers medication to the patient.
- Air bubble detectors are capable of positively identifying the presence of a break in flow of any type of liquid.
- Anisotropic Magnetoresistive (AMR) position sensors monitor the angular or linear position of medical pump motors.
- Temperature sensors are used to monitor and control the temperature of infused liquids that are being delivered into a patient’s body.
