Mass Air Flow Sensor for Medical Devices - PMF5000 Series

Product Specification

PMF5000 Series Mass Air Flow Sensor for Medical Devices Description：

    Posifa designed the PMF5006 series of mass air flow sensors specifically for portable medical devices. The sensor is fast and accurate, enabling the precise amount of gas to be delivered in a pulse mode. The sensor’s small footprint fits nicely inside a spaceconstrained housing. The stress-relieved wiring harness with pre-installed receptacle provides reliable electrical connection to the circuit board. The flow direction (forward or backward) can be customized to work with an existing system layout.

    PMF5006 features Posifa’s third-generation thermal flow die, benefiting from the latest innovations in microfabrication. The sensor die uses a pair of thermopiles to detect changes in temperature gradient caused by mass flow, delivering excellent signal-to-noise, and repeatability. The “solid state” thermal isolation structure on the sensor die eliminates the need for surface cavity or fragile  membrane used in competing technologies, making the sensor resistant to clogging and pressure shock.

    The PMF5006 series delivers a linearized and temperature compensated analog voltage output.

    The PMF5000 series is a proven product that has been used in quantity in FAA approved, FDA cleared, and CE certified medical devices.
