Patent number: 11357899Abstract: A medico-technical measuring device for measuring a property of a fluid, such as pressure for pressure measurement, includes a line extending along a central longitudinal axis to guide a fluid, such as blood, within a longitudinal cavity delimited by a wall. A sensor unit has a sensor and measures a property of the fluid guided in the longitudinal cavity. The line is provided with a radial cavity inserted in the wall in a radial direction, in which the sensor unit is at least partially arranged, and which is integrated in the wall such that the sensor is in communication with the fluid. In this way, a measuring device can be provided that allows simple handling—in particular, in combination with a comparatively precise measurement—especially, pressure measurement. The measuring device may be produced according to a method and the measuring device may be used in a measuring method.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2019Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: Novalung GmbHInventors: Andreas Maurer, Sven Filipon, Matthias Beurer

Patent number: 10814054Abstract: An intermediate element for a medical extracorporeal fluid line designed to conduct a fluid, such as blood, has a main part extending between two connection parts. A flow channel passes continuously through the main part and the connection parts. The connection parts hydraulically connect the main body to a fluid line. On the periphery of the main part a receiving area is arranged, which is designed to receive a measurement value transmitter. An opening to the flow channel is defined in the receiving area and is sealed in a fluid-tight manner towards the receiving area by an elastic element. The measurement value transmitter is a gas sensor of a sensor device for measuring at least one gas contained in the fluid. The elastic element is a diffusion element, which is permeable to at least one gas. The diffusion element is bonded to an edge of the opening.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2016Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: Novalung GmbHInventors: Andreas Maurer, Sven Filipon
