Optical Blood Component Detector Blood Leak Detector Introtek's Optical Blood Component Detector's sensitivity is fully programmable to accommodate many applications such as blood vs. saline, blood vs. plasma and dialysis. This sensor is designed to perform colorimetry on clear plastic tubing that is used in dialysis and other medical applications. A digital or analog output can be provided to indicate the presence of a specific precalibrated threshold of blood content in dialysate, plasma or water.

View Printer Friendly Version   Measurement Principle The primary concept for blood component detection is light absorption. The specific amount of light absorption by hemoglobin is compared to a calibrated pre-set threshold. A microcontroller is used to manage and validate the electrical signals. Features +5 to 24 VDC input supply voltage Non-invasive, compact, free entry design CMOS logic output or analog Ambient light immunity Detection threshold is AAMI compliant for dialysis applications Options Custom OEM form, fit and functional designs
