Modern medical devices are extremely sophisticated. Advances in medical technologies have revolutionized the ways in which doctors and medical professionals administer medications, monitor vital signs, and more.
Monitoring internal or external liquid levels is an important process for many of these modern devices. IV fluids, blood, insulin, and more might be measured to ensure a patient’s health or the proper function of a given device. Due to the small size of many devices and the need for a sterile environment, accurate liquid level sensing can be a challenge.
Ultrasonic liquid level sensors from SMD Fluid Controls can be an ideal solution for many of these medical device applications.
Why Ultrasonic Level Sensors are Ideal for Medical Devices
Ultrasonic sensors work by sending out a continuous ultrasonic wave which then bounces off the surface of the medium being measured and returns to the sensor. The sensor calculates liquid levels by measuring the time this return trip takes and comparing to the speed of sound. These sensors are non-contact, continuous, and capable of being fabricated in an extremely compact size. This aligns perfectly with many medical device requirements. If you’re a medical device manufacturer or anyone else interested in liquid level sensors for medical devices, SMD Fluid Controls can help. Below are some of the standard units offered by SMD.
