Importance Of Bubble Sensors to Prevent an Air Embolism

    People love to play with bubbles, especially in bathtubs and plastic fills, but bubbles can become a threat in many instances & applications. For example, they can cause severe quality failures in semiconductor process equipment and 3D printing infusion. They can also be life-threatening in medical circumstances that require infusion pumps, blood flow monitoring, and hemodialysis. Thankfully, special sensors, also called bubble sensors, can detect bubbles using ultrasonic energy. What Are Bubble Sensors? Bubble sensors are devices used to detect bubbles in almost all tubing and fluid material used in medical devices. They detect bubbles in infusion lines, transfusion lines, and dialysis machines effectively. These  air bubble detectors  help prevent air embolism problems and maintain a steady flow. What Is Air Embolism? Air embolism occurs when a gas bubble enters the artery or vein. When this happens, gas bubbles restrict the movement of blood. It can c...
