THE IMPORTANCE OF CLAMP FLOWMETERS IN ORGAN PRESERVATION DEVICES
Every year, thousands of CLAMP FLOWMETERS people need organ transplants to pressure sensor film to survive. Like life itself, donated organs are precious. It’s not enough to have these rare organs on hand. Why? Because preservation is arguably as important as organs. Makes sense, doesn’t it? After all, organs mean nothing if they aren’t in good condition when they arrive on the transplant table.
Enter the organ preservation device
These devices are truly a miracle of science. As their name suggests, they help ensure that donated organs stay healthy. This is accomplished through cautious examining systems derived from an array of integrated pressure sensitive film. In order to maintain the optimal state of an organ, temperature, pressure and perfusion rate must be monitored very closely.
The advantage of integrating clamp-on flowmeters
Of all the sensors used to bring organ preservation devices to life, flow meters are perhaps one of the most vital. When attached noninvasively to the outside of the tubing, flowmeters can measure perfusion to two organs. This means that the flow can be monitored throughout the transplantation process.

Microfluidics focuses on the precise control of the behavior and operation of physically restricted fluids on a small scale. The liquid has the ability to flow through narrow spaces without the aid of external forces, and since it is small in scale, only small volumes are needed. This makes microfluidic devices ideal for cost-loss applications.
Advantages of microfluidics
One of the many advantages of measuring fluids at the micro-level is that many operations can perform simultaneously due to the compact size, which ultimately reduces lead times. Another advantage is that it reduces the risk of human error thanks to the microfluid’s ability to process and analyze the fluid with little manipulation.
Pressure Metrics provides microfluidic pressure sensitive film to support various applications where monitoring the presence of liquid in extremely small flow lines is essential. Our A130 Bubble Detector is designes to detect bubbles or the presence of liquid in 1/16″ OD tubing. Additionally, the detector tests with tubes as small as 0.02″ (0.5 mm) inside diameter, allowing us to detect bubbles as small as 200 nanoliters.
Clamp Flowmeters bubble sensor
The standard bubble sensor design requires the tube to be compresses by up to 20% of the outside diameter, which is not possible with extremely small tubes. Our A130 bubble sensor uses a low hardness thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) overmolded over a rigid ABS housing to achieve good acoustic coupling with these small flow channels. Both of these devices are presently utilizes by a lot of medical device makers for critical liquid management applications.
