A heart-lung machine, also called a cardiopulmonary bypass machine, is a device that temporarily takes over the work of the heart and lungs, providing blood gas exchange of CO2 and oxygen to the body. The procedure is also called extra-corporal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or extracorporeal life support (ECLS).
Heart-lung machines assume critical bodily functions to sustain patients’ lives. Consequently, reliability is of the highest importance. Heart-lung machines are complex to operate, making automatic gas mixture control and a simple user interface essential.
Our flow sensors are perfectly designed for measuring gas flow (air, O2) through the blender. Our mass flow controllers actively control gas mixtures according to user settings. With maintenance-free technology, our sensor solutions enable you to set up reliable, automated gas mixing with simple parameters.
