SMOOTH

Samson Type 3249Eliminating areas which might increase the potential for bacteria growth such as traps and crevices is an important design requirement for control valves used in aseptic applications, such as food processing and pharmaceutical production. Control valves which have smooth, cavity-free internals also helps to promote effective CIP and SIP (Clean or Sterilised in Place) and also aids self-draining.

SAMSON CONTROLS offer a range of valves which incorporate these features and are manufactured to quality assurance systems certified to ISO 9001 whilst also meeting stringent FDA requirements.

CARDIAC MONITORING SYSTEM INCLUDES UNIQUE PUMP

autoclude lidco blood sampling pumpA special peristaltic pump, designed and manufactured by Verder Autoclude is an important component in a haemodynamic monitoring system from the LiDCO Group.  This purpose designed, portable pump has unique features including single handed occlusion release.Monitoring key cardiovascular parameters is of critical importance to patient outcome.

In tandem with blood pressure and oxygen delivery, cardiac output is one of these vital indicators.  It is the volume of blood pumped through the heart per minute and has been a difficult parameter to measure.  Prior to the LiDCO system the cardiac output was usually determined with a special haemodynamic monitoring device in the form of a long catheter which is introduced into an artery in the neck, chest or groin and advanced through the heart to the pulmonary artery.

Submersible Load Cell for Tensile and Compressive Forces is ultra compact

The DDEN SeriesDesigned for underwater tension measurement applications, for high humidity conditions and for applications in which occasional submersion due to flooding is likely, a range of miniature, compact, low profile load cells is now available, which can be customised to suit specific applications.

The DDEN Series of load cells from Applied Measurements Ltd measure tensile or compressive forces in underwater locations to a depth of up to 10 metres, although the unit can be customised to operate in even greater depths. The unit is unique in its compactness over a wide capacity range. Even at the top end of the capacity rating of 50kN, the unit dimensions do not change
