Optical Fiber Pressure Sensor for Medical OEM FOP-F125

                         Optical Fiber Pressure Sensor for Medical OEM FOP-F125                                                                                Model Number : FOP-F125                                                       Main Description The FOP-F125 is the world’s smallest pressure sensor. It has been especially
designed and tested to fulfi ll the highest of medical performance
requirements. Its applications range from human body fl uid pressure
measurements – for intervention in hospital critical care units – to animal
testing in high EMI environments. This product is designed to target high
volume application where it will be customized to suit OEM-specifi c needs.
With a diameter of only 125 μm, the FOP-F125 is the smallest pressure sensor
commercially available. This ultra-miniature sensor is manufactured directly at
the tip of the optical fi ber using patent pending technologies suitable for mass
production. This all-glass sensor assembled without the use of any adhesive is
fully biocompatible and is suitable for integration in medical devices and in minimally
invasive instrumented catheters.
The size and mounting fl exibility of the FOP-F125 provide the capability to embed
the sensor within almost any confi guration of invasive diagnostic or therapeutic
devices. The front-looking FOP-F125 allows in-situ measurements at locations
unreachable to standard pressure sensors and eliminates the artefacts due to
tissue contact that may be encountered with laterally mounted sensors.
The FOP-F125 high measurement resolution and precision, combined with a fast
reading rate, are important characteristics when attempting to detect very quick
and subtle pressure variations. It allows a clear defi nition of complex pressure
waveforms, such as human arterial blood pressure variations generated by heart
valve closure. Its long term reliability and low drift value make it the best sensor
available for implantable equipment, such as intra-cranial, intravascular and intrauterine
pressure monitoring devices.
The optical nature of the FOP-F125, makes the sensor immune to electromagnetic
fi eld or radiofrequency interferences regularly encountered in operating rooms
or MRI devices. The FOP-F125 fast response is also useful in determining pressure
curve characteristics at faster paces, such as the ones encountered in small laboratory
animals.   Key Features Ultraminiature sensor for in-situ pressure measurements
