Pressure Sensor and Transmitter for Medical Ventilator System

The COVID-19 epidemic is now spreading dramatically around the world and threatens the health and life of many people. Like other related viruses such as SARS and MERS, the new coronavirus attacks and damages the lungs of patients, and it is stretching health care resources in many different ways, but there is a key piece of equipment getting a lot of attention: ventilators.

The medical ventilator plays a key role in the treatment of COVID-19 patients, especially for ones hospitalized in ICU. Although there are many types of ventilators, their principle is generally the same. It helps move air or oxygen into the lungs and takes carbon oxide out, which helps patients' lung function when their bodies are fighting the infection.

Inside the medical ventilators, there are types of sensors to monitor pressure, oxygen, flow and humidity, etc. Pressure sensor and transmitters for ventilators are needed for oxygen and air pressure control to ensure the ventilator work safely and smoothly.

Apex Sensor manufactures the pressure sensors and transmitters that may be used in medical ventilator system to help control air or oxygen pressure.
