LifeGuard IQ Intelligent Sensing Platform

LifeGuard IQ Intelligent Sensing Platform

An all new fluid sensing platform that delivers much more than a traditional sensor. The LifeGuard IQ sensing platform offers capabilities such as: multi sensor functionality, multiple input channels, bidirectional communication with host system, adjustable alarm threshold, rich data output, and much more.

The LifeGuard IQ sensing platform offers:

  • Microcontroller-based sensors that are configurable and can be adapted to various user requirements. Sensors can be configured to detect: air/fluid in-line, blood leak, occlusion, fluid level, fluid temperature, tubing placement, etc.
  • Multiple input channels allow up to three sensors to be driven using a single LifeGuard IQ unit (air-in-line detector, blood leak detector, and occlusion detector, for example).
  • Much richer data output from the sensor than the typical digital or analog signal. For example, when set to detect air-in-line the LifeGuard IQ is able to quantify bubble size, count number of bubbles, and quantify accumulated volume of air.
  • LifeGuard IQ incorporates proven LifeGuard swept frequency technology.
  • Microcontroller allows the sensor to tune into the resonant frequency thereby sweeping a narrower range around a “sweet spot”. This enables the sensor to sweep more rapidly and more often, resulting in increased sensor efficiency.
  • Bidirectional communications with the host system.
  • Allows threshold for alarm to be set depending on the strength of the signal in a non-alarm state.
  • Allows custom filtering (such as high pass, low pass, or windowing).
