Product catalog summary
Introduction
Cubic is a professional manufacturer of gas sensors, offering ultrasonic oxygen sensors and NDIR mainstream EtCO2 sensors for various medical applications such as PSA oxygen concentrators, medical ventilators, anesthesia machines, and patient monitors. The company leverages core technologies like ultrasonic and non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) to provide reliable solutions for medical applications.
Ultrasonic Oxygen Sensors
Ultrasonic oxygen sensors are used to detect oxygen concentration levels and gas flow. They utilize the ultrasonic velocity difference between upstream and downstream to measure gas flow and oxygen purity. These sensors are preferred over electro-chemical sensors due to their high accuracy, stability, and long lifespan. They are widely used in home and medical PSA oxygen concentrators, large O2 generators, and ventilators.
Applications and Specifications
  • Portable PSA Oxygen Concentrators: Ultrasonic sensors ensure proper oxygen delivery by detecting the oxygen percentage in the air supplied to patients. Key products include Gasboard7500E, Gasboard7500C, and Gasboard7500B, each with specific flow rates, response times, and power requirements.
  • Industrial PSA Oxygen Generators: These generators provide higher oxygen output for hospitals and shelters. Ultrasonic sensors ensure reliable oxygen supply by monitoring concentration and flow.
  • Medical Ventilators: Ventilators use ultrasonic sensors to detect oxygen concentration and provide digital readings for accurate patient support.
  • Anesthesia Machines: These machines use ultrasonic sensors to measure gas flow and oxygen concentration, ensuring accurate delivery of anesthetic gases.
NDIR EtCO2 Sensors
NDIR EtCO2 sensors measure the concentration of CO2 at the end of exhaled breath, providing accurate capnography and respiration rate measurements. They are easy to integrate into patient monitors, ventilators, and anesthesia machines.
Key Features and Applications
  • Fast Response and High Accuracy: NDIR sensors offer rapid measurement and high accuracy, suitable for low power applications.
  • Patient Monitoring: EtCO2 sensors measure end-tidal CO2, indicating cardiac output and pulmonary blood flow.
  • Fast Response CO2 Sensors: Designed for fitness testing and metabolic assessment, these sensors offer high accuracy and customizable OEM/ODM services.

Oxygen Sensor Solutions for Portable PSA Oxygen Concentrator A PSA oxygen concentrator is a device adopting PSA technology to separate the O2 and N2 in air to proceed continuous O2 supply. Normally, the purity of oxygen concentrator is less than 99%, because during the air separation, there is also gas like Ar, CO2 apart from O2 and N2. It is different from oxygen cylinder and has no 100% pure oxygen environment. To ensure proper delivery of oxygen, ultrasonic oxygen sensor can be installed to detect the oxygen percentage of the air being delivered to patient. It allows the designer to create...

Oxygen Sensor Solutions for Medical Ventilator A medical ventilator is designed to move breathable air into and out of the lungs, to provide breathing for a patient who is physically unable to breathe, or breathing insufficiently. In application, oxygen will be collected from oxygen cylinder or oxygen wall. Oxygen sensors will detect the oxygen concentration and get digital reading. Digital reading of oxygen concentration will be transferred to the MCU of ventilator. Product Type Product Function Gas flow : 0-10 L/min; O2 concentration: 0-100% Response time: 1.5s Gasboard7500E Gas flow and oxygen...

Anesthesia machine is used in anesthesiology, primarily for supporting anesthesia administration to the patients. The most common type is the continuous-flow anesthetic machine, which is designed to provide an accurate and continuous supply of medical gases such as oxygen O2, mixed with an accurate concentration of anesthetic vapor, and deliver this to the patient at a safe pressure and flow. Cubic oxygen sensor can measure gas flow together with oxygen concentration in anesthetic devices, ensuring that the patient receives the gas mixtures that are defined by the anesthetist in the right concentration....

Using Gas Sensors to Measure Respiration for Medical Applications-8

Mainstream EtCO2 Sensor Solutions for Patient Monitoring EtCO2 patient monitor is a machine that measures the exchange of carbon dioxide through a patient’s respirations. At the end of an exhale, an amount of carbon dioxide called the end tidal CO2, or EtCO2, is released. Because the CO2 is carried through the veins to the heart, which then pumps it into the lungs, this measurement can indicate a patient’s cardiac output and pulmonary blood flow. EtCO2 sensor can measure End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide (ETCO2). With a very simple RS232 interface and compatible protocol, it’s fairly easy to be connected...
