The wrong dosage of anesthetics can be dangerous for patients. A new flow sensor technology gives additional security to anesthetists to apply the active ingredients correctly. The MEMS sensors with digital signal processing are presented by the Swiss company Sensirion at Compamed from November 15 to 17, 2006. During the suppliers' fair Compamed within the Medica, Sensirion and other enterprises present medical novelties at the Product Market High-tech for Medical Devices. The joint pavilion is organized by IVAM Microtechnology Network.
Sensirion's thermal flow sensor is connected with a precise evaluation circuit and a storage unit on only one microchip. This way, the sensitive signals can be boosted and digitized failure-free. The silicon chips are used for mass flow measurement of liquids and gases, for example for the dosage of anesthetics, monitoring of artificial respiration or handling of smallest quantities of liquid samples in diagnostics and analytics. For micro-fluidic applications, a dissolving down to the nano-liter scale is realized.
The exhibitors of the IVAM joint pavilion High-tech for Medical Devices can expect visitors from all over the world at Compamed embedded in the medical trade fair Medica. Also in the center of attraction is the forum with practical contributions from industry and research.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
