Pressure Sensors for Mechanical Ventilators and ...
8/4/2020· The current demand for mechanical ventilators and respirators due to the COVID19 pandemic presents us with another opportunity to fill a need in the medical field. The use of pressure sensors in ventilators and respirators is similar to their use in CPAP and BiPAP.
VENTILATOR SENSOR SOLUTIONS
TE CONNECTIVITY SENSORS. Mechanical ventilators are life saving devices for patients who are unable to breathe unassisted or need additional oxygen intake. Ventilators pump breathable air or a mixture of air and gases into and out of the lungs and are found everywhere from intensive care units to home portable units.
