  • Patent number: 8910370
    Abstract: A universal air bubble detector allows for use with a variety of sizes and types of tubing. The detector maintains proper alignment of a sensor emitter and receiver with different sizes of tubing. The detector may be mounted on existing equipment or may be used to monitor a tubing at any position along the tubing, and may operate in a stand alone mode or in combination with existing equipment.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 13, 2010
    Date of Patent: December 16, 2014
    Assignee: Zevex, Inc.

  • Patent number: 6023970
    Abstract: A disposable fluid level sensor is configured for determining the level of fluid in a container. A flex circuit or other electromagnetic sensor is coupled to a processing module having a power supply, the flex circuit being mounted at a selectable location by an adhesive patch which holds the sensor flush against the container. The processing module hangs from the sensor's antenna, and provides a human perceptible indication, such as a flashing light or an audible alarm, when the fluid level drops below a desired point as determined by the sensor. The sensor detects the change in fluid level by transmitting an electromagnetic signal and determining whether there is a change in reflected or resonated energy.
