BP Series
The Merit Sensor Blood Pressure sensor is ideal for low cost, high-volume, disposable medical applications including blood pressure monitoring. The BP Series sensor is temperature compensated, dielectric gel protected and can easily be installed into a customers pressure device housing.
COMPANY: Merit Sensor is a leader in piezoresistive
pressure sensing and partners with clients to create high performing solutions for a variety of applications and industries. Design, engineering and manufacturing of Merit Sensor products takes place in state-of-the-art wafer fabrication facility in Utah, US.

TECHNOLOGY: Merit Sensor utilizes a piezoresistive

Wheatstone bridge with a chemically etched silicon diaphragm. All products are RoHS compliant.

CAPABILITIES: Merit Sensor designs, engineers, fabricates, dices, assembles, tests, sells and services die and packaged products from a state-of-the-art facility near Salt Lake City, Utah. FEATURES
Pressure range of -30 to 300 mmHg Excellent burst pressure Compliant with AAMI BP22 specications Dielectric gel barrier Fully tested Small, disposable, low-cost package Temperature compensated Solid state piezoresistive sensor Top side pressure entry Easy to install into customers disposable blood pressure device housing Compatible with automated assembly equipment Compatible in air, gas and liquid Shipped as 120UP snapstrates or on tape and reel Automated testing and assembly Custom options available Engineering, design and manufacturing under one roof in Utah, US.

APPLICATIONS
Disposable blood pressure measurement Kidney dialysis machines Infusion pumps Surgical procedures
