Sensirion is expanding its product portfolio for the MD&M West 2021 medical technology trade fair. Three new flow sensors for respiratory applications are now available worldwide via distributors. All three products are next-generation sensors that belong to the SFM3xxx platform and are suitable for inspiratory applications at ambient pressure.
The SFM3003 has an extended flow range between -150 and 300 slm, while the SFM3013 is resistant to overpressure (up to 1 bar) and calibrated for heliox. Lastly, the SFM3119 adds a digital sensor to the SFM31xx series of compact sensors.
The SFM3003 is based on the technology used in the SFM3019 sensor, which was brought onto the market during the COVID-19 pandemic to provide a high volume of flow sensors for inspiratory flow measurements in medical ventilators. Compared to the SFM3019, the SFM3003 comes with a wider flow range and improved specifications. The flow of air, oxygen and mixtures thereof at rates between -30 and 300 slm can be measured with excellent accuracy, reliability and long-term stability – no recalibration required.
The SFM3013 is a variant of the SFM3003. It offers additional resistance against overpressure (up to 1 bar gauge pressure), and is also calibrated for heliox gas.
The SFM3119 is a compact digital flow meter. It is the successor to the SFM3100 flow sensor. It has a compact design and can be easily integrated into existing devices.
“The three new flow sensors are the ideal complement to our product range. Our customers can now find the right sensor for all respiratory applications,” said Pauline Simonet, the product manager responsible for the sensors.
