Terry Merlihan, TE regional sales manager, noted, “Sensor intelligence is helping medical device manufacturers develop home-health monitoring devices that allow patients to live healthier, more mobile lives. Sensor-equipped medical devices for in-home use are on the rise, and options that didn’t exist before are becoming a reality, such as in-home dialysis treatment. That’s the kind of next-generation patient care that drives TE’s sensor innovation.”
TE will have its medical sensing solutions on display at MD&M West, including piezo film sensors used to monitor vital signs such as heart rhythm, photo optic sensors for pulse oximetry to measure oxygen saturation and pulse, and ultrasonic sensors to detect air bubbles and medication levels during infusion.
