DISPOSABLE PRESSURE SENSOR SYSTEMS AND PACKAGES THEREFOR

摘要

A disposable pressure sensor system includes a disposable sensor assembly having at least one sensing element, carried on a housing or frame, and at least one electrical connector and/or mechanical connector for connecting the sensing element(s) to an external apparatus or device. The mechanical and/or electrical connectors are integrated in the housing or frame so that both the connector(s) and sensing element(s) are packaged in a single part. The assembly can be integrated in or attachable to a fluid carrying module, such as a dialysis cartridge, such that the sensing element(s) can sense the fluid in the module.
