Application 130

OEM Test Stand

Application Summary

In delicate application such as this, it becomes vital to perform accurate quality audits on equipment used in health-care practices. Therefore, utilizing OEM load cells to audit syringes (infusion pumps) provides medical quality inspectors with assurance that these apparatuses will perform up to code.

Products in Use

One Jr. Miniature S-Beam Load Cell (LSB200), OEM Load Cell (LSM Series), or Miniature Load Button (LLB Series) paired with Instrumentation (IAA Series, IPM650, IHH500, or USB Solutions) and SENSIT™ Test and Measurement Software.

How it Works

In delicate application such as this, it becomes vital to perform accurate quality audits on equipment used in health-care practices. Therefore, utilizing OEM load cells to audit syringes (infusion pumps) provides medical quality inspectors with assurance that these apparatuses will perform up to code.
Mounted to a mechanical lever, one of FUTEK's LSB200, LSM Series, or LLB Series load cells will measure the force applied to the syringe pump as it dispenses fluid. Product versatility allows for technicians to select the sensor that works best within their required test environment.
Each of these measurements can be taken to a number of instruments for evaluation. They can be amplified and taken to a PLC using an IAA Series Analog Amplifier. Alternatively, they can be interpreted by either of FUTEK's digital displays, or streamed via FUTEK's USB Solutions.
Executing SENSIT™ Test and Measurement Software alongside these digital displays or USB Solutions allows the quality inspector to data log these results. Furthermore, SENSIT™ enables technicians to analyze displacement vs force.
