bed and chair position
and monitor
therapeutic mattress
air columns.
Magnetoresistive Sensor IC: provides reliable, accurate output for smooth motor control that reduces noise and vibration
MICRO SWITCH Position Switch: determines minimum and maximum position
Pressure Sensor - Board Mount: measures air pressure and controls mattress air column inflation/deflation to prevent bedridden
patients from developing bedsores
Dialysis
Machine
Enhance patient
treatment efficiency.
Force Sensor: detects the presence/absence of a fresh dialysate cartridge before machine can be used; monitors dialysate flexible
tubing pressure so the pressure doesn’t exceed a specified level; monitors dialysate weight to detect whether there is a specified
amount in the fresh cartridge
Hall-Effect Magnetic Position Sensor IC: provides reliable, accurate output for smooth motor control that reduces noise and
vibration in the motor assembly
Pressure Sensor – Board Mount: obtains a direct, in-line continuous dialysate and venous pressure measurement in the dialysis
membrane without interrupting flow
Pressure Transducer – Heavy Duty: helps to monitor fresh dialysate cartridge pressure in the flexible tubing that carries blood or
dialysate to provide continuous feedback of line pressures and pump control
Thermistor: provides temperature measurement for enhanced control of the permeation rate across the dialysis membrane
Infusion
Pump
More accurately
control fluid flow and
minimize overheating.
Device with an Embedded Honeywell Barcode Reader: tethered barcode readers support identification and delivery process

Enhance response
Oxygen
Concentrator time, minimize oxygen
Airflow Sensor: detects ultra-low levels at 0.1 cm3 to detect when the patient exhales and when the system should
reduce airflow

and effectively
Pressure Switch: acts as a high-pressure warning, alerting the user by activating an indicator light if the pressure exceeds a
specified limit
Pressure Transducer – Heavy Duty: senses pressure from the surge tank, providing feedback to the compressor that allows it to
maintain the desired pressure level
Patient
Monitoring
Barcode Decoding Software: enables tracking of the patient via a mobile device
Pressure Sensor – Board Mount: controls the pumps used to draw the blood in continuous glucose monitors and returns it to
the patient
Thermistor: monitors patient temperature
waste, reduce power
consumption and
improve portability.
More accurately
control blood glucose
and temperature
monitoring.
