Multiple processes and treatments in the modern medical industry demand vigilance from advanced devices. These devices can sense and assess substance levels accurately, whether dealing with bodily fluids or external drugs.

A special sensor can be used for multiple device sizes while capturing accurate notes of substance levels, including blood, insulin, and IV fluids.
A non-contact level sensor does not touch the substances being surveilled in a vessel or tube, and the ultrasonic signal does not impact the fluid. This sustains both hygiene and quality.
The Function
A medical sensor manufacturer builds its products to transmit continuous ultrasonic vibrating waves. Waves then deflect from a given substance’s surface and return to the starting sensor.
Medical services can use this to measure and monitor liquids by interacting with the sensor’s results. The sensor uses time measurements during one wave’s ‘trip’ from and returning to it. These results, which are captured in the non-contact level sensor, are subsequently contrasted with the speed of sound to calculate the level a fluid has attained.
Sensor Types
Companies that manufacture sensors produce stainless steel devices. These record the moisture, temperature, and level of liquids. These innovations can be used in many use cases, exceeding those key in the medical field.
Industrial and medical clients can also use plastic sensors constructed from nylon or polypropylene, both of which are renowned for their durability.
The plastic varieties are also very resistant to effects arising from chemicals. Similar to their metal counterparts, they can also be utilized in various industries beyond medical use cases.
Extra Benefits
The broad range of measurements available to specialized sensors is significant. It usually enables use in medical containers and devices from 15 mm to 300 mm. However, having specially built and used devices for smaller and larger sizes is also possible.
These devices are easy to install. They simply require a strap to be attached to their outer container. Moreover, these innovations can be utilized for the continuous level sensors used in the medical domain, as well as the point-level sensors that are key for assessing the contents of tanks and farm silos.
With its ultrasonic technology, Introtek can accommodate all non-contact sensor demands for medical establishments.
About Introtek International
Introtek has produced non-invasive ultrasonic air bubble detectors, continuous liquid level sensors, optical blood component detectors, and now pressure occlusion detectors. Introtek sensors utilize a patented pulse-type ultrasonic technology that detects air bubbles, air-in-line, and liquid levels with the highest degree of accuracy and reliability, thereby maintaining an extremely high MTBF. Introtek sensors are not susceptible to the limitations exhibited by continuous wave, capacitive, or load-cell sensors.
