    摘要: A pressure transducer (10) for measuring fluid pressure in a fluid path comprising a strain gauge circuit (37) of thick film piezoresistors formed on an alumina diaphragm (36) in a Wheatstone bridge configuration. Each resistance leg of the bridge typically includes a thick film measuring piezoresistor (R1A) to which selected thick film patch-in piezoresistors (R1B, R1C, R1D, R1E) are selectively connected to create a measuring resistance network (PN1). The measuring resistance network is adjusted to a predetermined resistance value to balance and optimize the electrical symmetry of the bridge. The pressure transducer (10) includes a mechanical stop member (46) located adjacent the alumina diaphragm (36) such that the fully deflected diaphragm contacts the stop thereby physically preventing the diaphragm from deflecting an amount that would cause the diaphragm to rupture.

    摘要: A medical pressure transducer includes a reusable component with channels to either side of a reusable diaphragm, and a disposable dome with mounting wings to either side of a disposable diaphragm and slidably receivable in the channels to mount the dome with the diaphragms in confronting relationship. Camming ramps are provided in the channels and on the wings by which to drive the dome diaphragm into the reusable diaphragm. Where the channels are defined behind outer front walls, the outer surface of one is provided with a tab-receiving slot to receive a locking tab associated with dome to lock diaphragms into confronting relationship. The dome includes second wings spaced from the mounting wings to receive the outer front walls. The second wings have finger gripping portions one of which is a locking paddle supporting the lock tab. In alternative embodiments, the dome wings are edges, fixed or resilient, receivable through slots formed in the reusable component.

    摘要: An optical torque sensor comprises a radiation source emitting radiation of at least one wavelength. At least one sensor senses the emitted radiation and generates at least one intensity signal indicative of the intensity of the emitted radiation. At least one signal conditioner is receptive of the emitted radiation and is positioned on a shaft between the radiation source and the at least one sensor thereby conditioning the emitted radiation. A circuit is receptive of the at least one intensity signal and determines the torque acting upon the shaft and compensates for the attenuation of the emitted radiation.

    摘要: A sample site for obtaining a whole blood sample includes flow directors in the ports. The flow directors may include ramp surfaces. Blood flowing into the sample site is diverted by the flow directors to mix with and flush out all of the saline otherwise present in the sample site to allow for a whole blood sample to be taken.

    摘要: An electronically monitored angioplasty system is provided with a verifier circuit to verify the operation of conversion circuitry for converting an electrical pressure signal from a pressure transducer to a displayed numerical value on a digital read-out. The verifier circuit is selectively activated to offset the displayed numerical value by a predetermined amount and upon deactivation the displayed numerical value returns to the pressure sensed by the pressure transducer in the balloon. In one embodiment, a reference signal to the conversion circuitry is selectively offset by a signal corresponding to the predetermined amount and in another embodiment the electrical pressure signal itself is selectively offset by a reference signal corresponding to the predetermined amount. In another aspect of the system, an audible balloon deflation indicator circuit sounds a pleasant signal that the pressure within the balloon has fallen below a threshold pressure so the doctor need not divert attention from the patient.

    摘要: An interference edge filter is mounted on the end of an optical fiber to provide a sensor for pressure or temperature. The filter is formed such that the transition slope of the filter curve will move to the left or right depending upon the changes in the parameter being monitored. The shift in the position of the slope of the edge filter curve is detected by passing the reflected light through an interference bandpass filter having an edge slope intersecting the transition slope and measuring the intensity of the light passing the bandpass filter.
