    摘要: The present invention relates to the measurement of forces on the tip of a jet injector drug ampoule. A force sensor is provided that includes full bridge strain gauge configurations mounted on three flexural spokes. The flexural spokes connect an outer fixed portion of the sensor to an inner sensing portion of the sensor. The spokes are formed such that they exhibit fixed/quasi-free bending behavior, as opposed to fixed/fixed bending behavior, when a loading force is applied along the central axis of the ampoule. This increases the area of fully compressive zones and tensile zones on the top and bottom (or vice versa) of the flexure. Larger compressive/tensile zones allow for larger area deformation sensing elements to be employed and subsequently larger signals to be acquired for the same flexure size in a quasi- free/fixed versus fixed/fixed configuration, whereby the same larger sized sensing elements suitable for use on a quasi -free/fixed flexural spoke would span both compressive and tensile zones on a fixed-fixed flexural spoke and produce muted strain signals. Additionally, in an embodiment where customized resistive strain gauge arrays are employed for the sensing elements, for example by mounting custom flex-PCBs or building the entire assembly out of one or more parts of FR-4 PCB, the strain gauges can be designed to fill the entire area of the compressive and tensile zones. Because of the full bridge configuration of the strain gauges, vertical forces applied to each flexural spoke are the only forces that are outputted. Lateral forces and twisting on individual flexures are rejected due to the full-bridge configuration detailed within the disclosure. By using the output of all three full bridges in parallel, it is possible to discriminate between lateral forces and axial forces directed collinear with the center axis of the ampoule applied to the tip of the nozzle. This information can be relayed to the user to attain, for example, a pre-determined contact force between the nozzle and an area receiving an injection.

A sensor device (3) is arranged on the first housing element (10) and having a sensor element (30) for measuring a force on the tube section (200, 201) of the tube set (2). Herein it is provided that the sensor device (3) is arranged on the first housing element (10) in an elastically displaceable manner, wherein the sensor device (3) is supported on the first housing element (10) via at least one spring element (33). In this way an infusion device is obtained which may be less prone to variations in the squeezing of a tube section in between the sensor element and a movable housing element, potentially reducing the effort for calibrating infusion devices and increasing the reliability of pressure measurements on a tube section.

    摘要: A mechanical fluid pressure modification valve, or "MFLP-valve", is set forth. The MFLP-valve can be actuated upon movement of a movable pressure system member of a medical pressure system reaching a selected position. Additionally, the MFLP-valve can be actuated based on a pressure condition of the system. When the MFLP-valve unseals, a pressure differential between a pressure chamber and a volume outside of the chamber can be relieved. Disengagement of the movable pressure system member from the MFLP-valve can enable the MFLP-valve to re-seal. The MFLP-valve may include a flag that indicates the position of the movable pressure system member. The MFLP-valve may be provided in a diaphragm-type pressure source.
