SONOTEC has introduced the second one technology of the SONOFLOW CO.56 Professional flow-bubble sensor at MD&M West.
By means of making improvements to the carried out multi-level protection idea and adorning the size channel design, the second one technology of the SONOFLOW CO.56 Professional objectives to set a brand new same old in the marketplace within the box of non-invasive ultrasonic sensors for clinical packages.
The SONOFLOW CO.56 Professional V2.0 for clinical packages measures the circulation charge of liquids, comparable to blood and reliably detects air bubbles in same old clinical tubing. In particular evolved for the use in extracorporeal lifestyles toughen techniques (ECLS), the purpose of the re-design was once to reinforce the protection idea of the hybrid clamp-on sensor whilst additional making improvements to its reliability and accuracy. The complicated protection idea covers packages in surgical operation rooms, in depth care gadgets in addition to the cell emergency care without reference to the affected person’s state of awareness.
Melanie Schmidt, industry unit director at SONOTEC GmbH, stated: “Due to its top balance and reliability, the compact SONOFLOW CO.56 Professional V2.0 has already been carried out in a couple of clinical gadgets being probably the most key parts in remedies, the place the guts or lungs of a affected person are seriously broken and enough organ serve as can’t be completed with none toughen. In particular throughout the final two years of the pandemic we had been ready to give a contribution to the battle in opposition to the pandemic with our sensors being carried out in a large number of clinical toughen gadgets carried out in case of acute lung failure brought about via COVID-19.”
SONOFLOW CO.56 Professional V2.0 meets the top requirements of the IEC 60601-1 third version for clinical gadgets making sure best possible affected person protection and lifestyles toughen. The structure carried out cyclical self-test routines and a extremely safe instrument ensure interruption-free operation of the hybrid sensor in ECMO machines, blood pumps, and organ shipping techniques.
To ensure secure operation in packages with direct touch to the human center or bloodstream, the SONOFLOW CO.56 Professional V2.0 achieves electric resistance of as much as 1000 V by way of robust isolation. In doing so, the sensor meets essentially the most stringent cardiac floating (CF) classification of the world IEC 60601-1 clinical same old. Therefore, the sensor design protects the affected person and the operator from electrical shocks brought about via leakage present.
The top point of electromagnetic balance and using lowest acoustic power specified for diagnostic gadgets underline the delicate protection idea of SONOFLOW CO.56 Professional V2.0. Moreover, the ultrasonic flow-bubble sensor guarantees device sterility and avoids any pressure for blood cells on account of its clamp-on design.
For the brand new sensor technology SONOTEC relatively changed the geometry of the size channel. In doing so, operators can get pleasure from a extra exact bubble detection and a vital development of the accuracy after tubing re-insertions. SONOFLOW CO.56 Professional V2.0 provides a confirmed circulation size accuracy of as much as 2%. Relying on tubing diameter and procedure prerequisites, the hybrid sensor reliably detects life-threatening air bubbles.
The ultrasonic sensor will also be clamped at the tubing or fastened onto clinical gadgets. SONOTEC provides other sensor sizes for same old clinical tubing units.
