Oxygen concentrators are essential medical devices that deliver purified oxygen therapy to patients. Sensore plays a pivotal role in ensuring the reliability and accuracy of these devices by continuously monitoring the oxygen concentration delivered to the user.

Why Oxygen Sensors Matter

  • Continuous Monitoring
    Sensors measure the oxygen percentage in the gas stream being delivered to the patient in real time, ensuring it stays within strict medical standards. This is vital, deviations, even minor ones, can significantly impact patient safety.
  • Adjusting to the Patient’s Needs
    Oxygen requirements can fluctuate, lowering during rest and rising with exertion. The sensor enables the concentrator to adapt dynamically, offering appropriate oxygen levels throughout.
  • Supporting Safe Therapy
    Conditions like COPD demand precise oxygen delivery. Sensor accuracy helps prevent risks such as oxygen toxicity or hypoxemia.

How Sensore Oβ‚‚ Sensors Work

Oxygen sensors detect changes in partial pressure to infer oxygen concentration. Sensore employs two proven technologies in concentrators: electrochemical and zirconia sensors.

Zirconia-Based Sensors

Made from heated zirconium dioxide ceramic, these sensors allow oxygen ions to pass through, creating a measurable voltage. That voltage shifts proportionally with oxygen concentration. Zirconia sensors are valued for rapid response and long-term stability.
