Pressure Switch: acts as a high-pressure warning, alerting the user by activating an indicator light if the pressure exceeds a specified limit
Pressure Transducer – Heavy Duty: senses pressure from the surge tank, providing feedback to the compressor that allows it to
maintain the desired pressure level
Patient Monitoring| More accurately control blood glucose and temperature monitoring.| Barcode Decoding Software: enables tracking of the patient via a mobile device
Pressure Sensor – Board Mount: controls the pumps used to draw the blood in continuous glucose monitors and returns it to the patient
Thermistor: monitors patient temperature
