Use of Load Cells in the
Medical Industry
One of the key challenges for the medical practitioners:
Need to monitor and administer the correct amount of medication at a rate that will prevent blood clots
Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment
Is the pump injecting the liquid at a safe rate?
Has the blood clotted in the vein of the patient?
Has the needle missed the target vein?
Has the needle mistakenly penetrated through both walls of the vein?
Designed to allow medical
personnel to remotely check up on
their patients receiving long
duration automated treatments.
Loadstar Sensors Specialized Syringe Pump System
The Solution
Use one load cell between the syringe pump apparatus and the syringe in order to monitor the administration of chemotherapy drugs.
Parts Used:1 iLoad Mini 10lb Load Cell1 Syringe Pump1 Displacement Indicator1 DQ-1000ULoadVUE software
Total time to setup1 hour
The system provides data that can
by easily analyzed by the medical
personnel to determine if the
patient needs immediate attention
The Result
Loadstar Sensors' award winning capacitive load cells offer unmatched ease of use in a low profile, rugged and integrated package.
