Flow sensor SONOCHECK® ALD

medicalultrasonicnon-invasive

Product Overview
The contactless air level detector SONOCHECK® ALD monitors liquid level in infusion therapy, dialysis and parenteral nutrition. The clamp-on sensor ignores small foamy bubbles. Electronics are integrated into the compact non-invasive sensor. Design and dimensions depend on drip chamber diameter and material; sensors can be adapted and an optional easy-closing lid is available to secure the drip chamber. Certified according to ISO 13485; documentation for medical device approval available on request.
