INTROTEK® AD8 / AD9 air bubble detection sensors incorporate Introtek’s latest generation “MEC” pulse-type ultrasonic circuitry. The micro-controller based circuitry is located integrally in the sensor assembly. Custom algorithms to control functionality, such as response times, time delays and more can be designed at Introtek based on customer requirements. The AD8/ AD9 series sensors are one of the most commonly utilized air bubble detectors for patient connected devices worldwide. Operating Principle Introtek’s patented pulse-type ultrasonic technology provides highly reliable, non-invasive air detection capabilities in the most critical applications where the safety of a patient or process is mandatory. Many of the variables, which can affect performance of amplitude or continuous wave based sensing systems, are eliminated or greatly reduced, thus yielding accurate and repeatable detection. Features Compact integral design with “MEC” circuitry Programmable micro-controller expands functionality Reliable pulse-type, non-invasive ultrasonic technology Air detection threshold or sensitivity can be user specified Accommodates a wide range of tubing sizes Dry coupled, no coupling gel is required Accuracy is not affected by fluid or tubing color Options Bi-color LED Reverse output logic Custom response times Dual redundant operation Premium EMI/RFI Packaging Available Digital or Analog output Custom Latched Designs Available Self-Test Safety Features
