Flow-/bubble sensor for 3/8“ x 3/32“ tubing, length 0.9 m. This bubble sensor is an accessory for CARDIOHELP System as a miniaturized and light medical perfusion system. The general function of the CARDIOHELP System is to drive, to control, to monitor and to protocol the extra corporeal circulation (ECC). The CARDIOHELP System acts as a drive unit for a disposable tubing set including at least pump and oxygenator. This system is designed for inter- and intra-hospital transportation (transportation (limitations may apply for individual disposables).
A mains electricity (AC-powered) device designed to detect air bubbles in blood returned to the body from the extracorporeal circuit of a cardiopulmonary (heart-lung) bypass system, and to detect when blood falls below acceptable levels, typically in the venous drip chamber. The device typically consists of an electronic unit and ultrasonic sensors; it usually triggers alarms and activates automated mechanisms to turn off the blood flow when bubbles are detected or an abnormal fluid level occurs. It is typically an integral part of the cardiopulmonary bypass system.
