Medical Pressure Sensors
Most pressure sensors used in medical devices began as industrial components. Superior Sensor’s CP, SP, and VN Series are purpose-built for CPAP, spirometry, and critical care ventilators, delivering the resolution, stability, and application-specific performance each application demands.
Differential, Gauge and Barometric Pressure Sensors
Pressure sensing in medical devices carries a responsibility that doesn’t exist in other industries: the measurement doesn’t end at the output pin. It extends into the therapy a patient receives, the diagnosis recorded in their chart, and the clinical decisions made on their behalf. A CPAP sensor that misses a mask leak alters the delivered therapy pressure. A spirometry sensor with uncorrected zero drift yields an FEV1 result that misrepresents lung function. A ventilator sensor that loses resolution at low pressures cannot safely support neonatal ventilation. Most pressure sensors in medical devices were designed for other applications and then adapted, a compromise that surfaces precisely at the operating points where accuracy matters most. Superior Sensor’s CP, SP, and VN Series were built from the ground up for CPAP, spirometry, and critical care ventilators, with the resolution, stability, and application-specific capabilities each demands.
