Pressure Sensors for Medical Applications
Magnetic Sensors for Medical Applications
Coto Redrock TMR (Tunnel Magnetoresistance) sensors are currently the most efficient magnetic sensors available, with the lowest power consumption, highest sensitivity, and smallest packaging. These sensors are ideal for a wide range of applications, including monitoring fluid flow, liquid level, proximity, anti-tampering, and enabling “wake-up” features. As next-generation measurement and detection devices demand smaller, more sensitive, and lower power consumption sensors, Coto Redrock TMR sensors are the perfect solution for battery operated devices.
Medical Level sensing
Coto RedRock TMR (Tunnel Magnetoresistance) sensors are highly sensitive and accurate magnetic sensors, making them ideal for use in medical leveling devices. These sensors excel in precision measurement, detecting minute changes in magnetic fields to provide accurate position or orientation data, which is crucial for diagnostic equipment and patient positioning. Their non-contact measurement capability is advantageous in sterile environments, eliminating contamination risks and ensuring hygienic operation. The compact size of TMR sensors facilitates their integration into small, portable medical devices, allowing for versatile use in various medical settings, from operating rooms to patient bedsides.
Additionally, the low power consumption of TMR sensors makes them suitable for battery-operated medical devices, ensuring long battery life for portable equipment. The stability and reliability of these sensors guarantee consistent performance, which is essential for patient safety and effective medical interventions. Furthermore, TMR sensors can be seamlessly integrated with other electronic systems and software used in medical devices, enabling real-time monitoring and adjustment of levels for optimal equipment performance. These attributes—precision, non-contact capability, compactness, low power usage, stability, reliability, and integration ease—make Coto RedRock TMR sensors perfect for accurate leveling in a wide range of medical applications.
Ingestible and Implantable Devices
Ingestible and implantable devices require efficient and reliable activation methods without compromising their protective encasement. Coto Redrock TMR sensors provide a contactless activation solution, ideal for these devices. For example, capsule endoscopes can remain in standby mode for up to 18 months and are activated when needed without depleting battery life prematurely. These sensors are crucial for ensuring the devices function correctly and maintain their integrity throughout their lifecycle, enhancing patient safety and device reliability.
Hearing Aids
Magnetic sensors in hearing aids facilitate mode switching, diagnostic checks, and response tuning. As demand for smaller, more discreet hearing aids grows, these sensors play a critical role.
Insulin Pumps
Continuous-feed insulin pumps rely on magnetic sensors to detect reservoir status, ensuring seamless insulin management and avoiding complications.
