Merit Sensor Systems, Inc., Salt Lake City, UT, announces its BP Series of medical pressure sensors. These devices are designed to provide a form, fit, and function solution to existing applications and exceeds the requirements of the AAMI Standard BP22. They employ Merit’s proprietary Silicon MEMS technology and exploit all of its benefits, including low-cost, item-to-item reproducibility and ruggedness. The BP Series is compatible in air, gas, and liquid, including blood. Being designed for large volume applications, the BP Series sensors are also compatible with automated assembly equipment. The BP Series was designed for disposable blood pressure monitoring but is applicable in a broad range of medical measurement applications.

It operates over a pressure range of -30 to +300 mm Hg over the temperature range of +15 to +40°C. The typical accuracy of the sensor is better than 1% of reading over this entire pressure and temperature range. The sensor is also able to maintain this level of accuracy over a wide supply voltage of 1-10 volts. These small devices measure 8.1 × 10.5 mm, weigh 2 grams and are suitable for EtO sterilization.
