Medical Dialysis Introduction

Medical dialysis can be divided into hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Essentially, it can exclude harmful substances in the body through the semipermeable membrane, which is the most effective way to treat renal failure at present. Hemodialysis brings the patient's blood into a dialyzer through a disposable tube and after the dialysis is completed, the blood will be re-injected into the patient.

XY-TEK CG series ultrasonic flow sensor can monitor the blood pump of the dialysis machine in real time. The warning will be shown once the disposable tube gets blocked. Similarly, when the automatic peritoneal dialysis machine uses the peristaltic pump to control the flow rate and flow volume of the dialysate, the XY-TEK flow sensor will test the peristaltic pump to secure its normal operation.

Client Requirements

1. Dialysis treatment requires high cleanliness and sterility so sensors can not contaminate blood during measurement.

2. Blood pumps for hemodialysis require high reliability and safety to ensure normal function throughout the whole process.

3. Pipeline obstruction has to be avoided during dialysis treatment since it could result in excessive pressure and harm to patients.

XY-TEK Flow Sensor Solution

1. XY-TEK CG series clamp-on flow sensor can be directly clamped on the surface of the flexible plastic pipe to accurately measure the liquid in the pipe without directly contacting the liquid in the pipe. The measurement will not cause pollution to the dialysate, especially suitable for high sanitary cleanliness occasions.

2. XY-TEK ultrasonic flow sensor detects the flow rate and the direction of blood or dialysate controlled by the peristaltic pump with high accuracy. Once the peristaltic pump fails, it will be warned in time.

3. XY-TEK liquid measurement sensor has internal integration, and no external calculation or processing system. Small size, compact structure, and convenient installation.

Customer Value

1. Meet the hygienic requirements of dialysis to prevent blood contamination during the transmission process.

CG series ultrasonic flow sensor is clamped outside the plastic pipe, and the ultrasound signal penetrates the pipe wall and liquid. The sensor itself does not have direct contact with the liquid in the tube.

2. Real-time and accurate monitoring of the blood and dialysate flow rate and flow direction.

The sensor can monitor the difference between the blood pump setting and the actual blood flow rate. Negative pressure may affect the function of the pump, and the size, position, and material of the tube may affect the flow rate. These anomalies can all be detected by XY-TEK high-precision flow sensors.

3. Ensure the safety of dialysis equipment operation

XY-TEK CG series ultrasonic flow sensor can effectively monitor the dialysis pipeline knot or blockage, bubble production, and other issues.
