healthcare spotlights

The demands of today’s healthcare industry require not only the highest criteria in the direct care of a patient, but also the highest quality, accuracy and efficiency in those facilities that allow for that care. Within a medical facility, the proper operation of its heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems also ensures proper operation of various medical support functions to provide for the health, comfort and safety of that facility’s occupants, including patients, visitors and staff. Amphenol Sensors’ diverse portfolio of world class sensor solutions touches nearly every facet of a medical facility’s HVAC systems to ensure not only the utmost in conditions for patient care and recovery, but also long-term efficiency to achieve green building status.

Today’s patient care demands the ultimate in accurate and reliable monitoring of critical parameters. Amphenol is a pioneer in the development of new and increasingly robust sensor technology for medical applications. We offer innovative sensor solutions, fast development cycles and excellent quality control to meet the most stringent requirements.

NovaSensor P330W Absolute Pressure Sensor is a Piezoresistive (PRT) Pressure Die, offering the same superior stability and sensitivity as in larger die, but in an extremely small footprint, making it ideal for invasive applications where small size is critical.

Amphenol Advanced Sensors is a single source for high-tech temperature and pressure sensors for both manufacturers and consumers. With more than 65 years experience, Amphenol leads the way in the design and manufacture of high quality sensors for temperature, gas, humidity and pressure.

Cardiac output catheterization is a procedure used to diagnose and treat cardiovascular conditions. Amphenol Advanced Sensors’ part in this important application is providing highly accurate and robust assemblies using NTC thermistor technology for temperature measurement. Learn more about this application and our product offering.

Food and pharmaceutical products are required to be kept under controlled temperature (often around 0°C) to ensure their safety and quality. A successful cold chain ensures temperature-sensitive products are kept within optimal temperature ranges and maintain the desired states from start to finish. Amphenol Advanced Sensors carries an extensive line of thermistors, RTD components and finished probe assemblies that meet the broad temperature range requirements for today’s cold chain market.

Monitoring esophageal temperature is a critical aspect of cardiac ablation, which is a procedure to correct heart rhythm problems by delivering heat (or extreme cold) to scar or destroy the tissue causing the abnormal rhythm. During treatment, the esophagus can absorb heat leading to injury. Amphenol Advanced Sensors’ part in this important application is providing highly accurate and robust assemblies using NTC thermistor technology for temperature measurement. Learn more about this application and our product offering.

Neonatal incubators and warmers are microenvironment systems delivering superior thermoregulation of premature babies. They provide exceptional healing environments for neonatal intensive care patients through sophisticated measurement of temperature, protection from cold, and maintaining high air humidity. Amphenol Advanced Sensors’ part in this important application is providing highly accurate and robust assemblies using NTC thermistor technology for temperature measurement.

Surgical and anesthesia effects on thermoregulation by the human body increase the need for temperature monitoring during these critical procedures. Amphenol Advanced Sensors carries an extensive line of miniature chip-in-glass or sleeved chip thermistors with fine diameter wires for use in such applications. Read on to learn more.

Medical applications demand the ultimate in accurate and reliable monitoring of critical temperature measurement. From the Amphenol Advanced Sensors family of brands,Thermometrics, Inc., designs and manufactures an extensiveline of NTC thermistors and non-contact infrared (IR) based temperature sensors for this vital market.

Hemodialysis (HD) is a process that uses a medical filtration device to remove waste and water from a person’s blood stream. After a tube is hooked to the patient’s artery, the blood is drawn through the device for cleaning. The “clean” blood is then sent back into the patient’s body.... One of the most critical measurement parameters in Hemodialysis is Temperature. Monitoring the temperature of the patient’s body, fluids, blood, as well as other components, within the dialysis device is important not only for the success of the process for the patient’s health, but also for long-term use of the device itself. In some cases, temperature monitoring is even required by regulatory authorities.
