Original Press Release:
Hummingbird Paracube® Sprint Oxygen Sensor Offers Major Breakthrough for Medical Oxygen Monitoring Technology
Crowborough, UK - Fast, reliable and ultra-compact in design, the brand new Paracube® Sprint from Hummingbird Sensing Technology is a major breakthrough in medical oxygen monitoring technology.
As the world's smallest fast response Paramagnetic oxygen sensor, measuring just 43.3mm(l) x 30mm(w) x 33.5mm(h) in size, the Sprint has been developed by Hummingbird to address the form factor issues that affect the design of end-user medical equipment. Using leading-edge manufacturing techniques, Hummingbird has been able to transfer the exceptional benefits of Paramagnetic oxygen sensing into an ultra-compact housing, immediately solving the considerable problems medical manufacturers face in integrating reliable sensing technology into limited space.
By delivering a full measurement range of 0-100% O2, the Sprint offers industry-leading levels of linearity, accuracy and reliability. Fast enough to reconstruct and monitor expired oxygen, enabling clinical decisions to be taken, the Sprint is suitable for all breath-by-breath applications. This fast and reliable response, combined with unrivalled performance and compact size, makes the Sprint the ideal oxygen sensor for usage in anaesthesia, pulmonary function testing and other life critical healthcare applications.
A non-consumable design provides zero ongoing cost of ownership and the elimination of daily calibration due to excellent measurement stability. While both analogue and digital signal outputs enables system integration into a variety of host instruments. To maximise integration flexibility for OEM design teams, the Sprint is available with options for electrical connector, gas connector and mounting arrangements.
"A sensor as advanced as the Paracube® Sprint would have been impossible to manufacture five years ago," says Martin Cox, Business Unit Manager, Hummingbird Sensing Technology.
"That Hummingbird's world-leading design team has been able to take advantage of separate advances in material science, optics and electronics to create this remarkable sensor is a major achievement, and one which will be of immediate benefit to medical manufacturers around the world."
