Micro Pressure 
Transducer System

 
Samba 3200 Fiber-Optic Pressure Measurement System Overview

Consist of the new Samba 3200 Control Unit and the Samba Micro Pressure Transducer. The Samba 3200 system is suitable for numerous types of pressure measurement especially in the medical field.

The Ø 0.42 mm optical transducer is biocompatible, non electrical and can be used in MRI environment. Typical application areas are: Cardiovascular, Respiration, Urology and other pressure applications demanding accurate data and small size. Samba 3200 can be connected to a computer or a data collection system.

Samba 3200 Controller Unit
The Samba 3200 Control Unit is based on advanced optoelectronic technology and is developed to meet the needs from demanding users. The Control Unit will run without any supporting computer. All settings can be made at the front panel. The measurement data will be presented as an analog voltage on both of the analog outputs. Via a standard serial interface (RS 232) the Samba 3200 Control Unit can be connected to a personal computer. Using the Samba Data Collection software measurement data can be stored on the computer and the pressure signal can be monitored in real time. Multi channel and feed back systems can easily be constructed using the analog output. An easy-to-use serial command protocol is also provided with all Control Units, this will enable advanced users to develop custom made controller applications.

Micro Pressure Transducer

The Micro Pressure Transducer is miniaturized, versatile and intended for use in demanding medical applications. It is highly stable, with high accuracy and low temperature drift. Innovative technology offers a possibility to increase measurement quality in many different medical fields. For MRI applications a 10 meter transducer is available.

The sensor, a silicon sensor element, is 0.42 mm in diameter and connected to an optical fibre down to 0.25 mm in diameter. The dimension, mechanical durability and accuracy makes it a versatile tool in many healthcare applications. Each transducer is delivered calibrated to minimize the need for customer calibration. This simplifies the use of the equipment and reduces the risk of human error.
