CG series Ultrasonic Flow Sensor Application in Artificial Heart Development
Customer Introduction
HA Medical is a renowned developer of extracorporeal artificial heart devices, specializing in short-to-medium-term ventricular assist devices. Their focus lies in the research, development, production, and sales of extracorporeal artificial hearts.
Through the systematic integration of fluid dynamics and driving mechanisms in their design, HA Medical products can optimize blood compatibility, reduce complications, and primarily cater to patients who are unable to be weaned off cardiopulmonary bypass after open-heart surgery.
With a focus on innovation and excellence, HA Medical is committed to pushing the boundaries of artificial heart research and creating life-changing solutions.
Challenge
They faced a significant challenge in accurately measuring blood flow rates in real-time to optimize the performance and functionality of the artificial heart pump.
Solution and Implementation
To address these challenges, HA Medical adopted the XY-TEK CG series clamp-on ultrasonic flow sensor, a non-intrusive flow sensor known for its precision and accuracy.
The XY-TEK ultrasonic flow sensor was easily clamped on the artificial heart research setup, allowing the research team to monitor fluid flow rates with exceptional precision and reliability.
The sensor provided real-time data on flow velocity, volume, and direction, enabling the researchers to make data-driven decisions and optimize the artificial heart's fluid dynamics.
Customer Value
- Accurate and real-time monitoring of the liquid flow in the LVAD pump during laboratory simulation testing in the RD and production phases.
- Improved research efficiency and faster decision-making.
- Enhanced data accuracy and reliability for research analysis and optimization.
- Advanced understanding of fluid dynamics to drive innovation in the artificial heart R&D process.
- The flow sensor can be directly clamped on the tube without shutting the system down or causing any contamination, which greatly improves installation & operation efficiency.
