Position Sensors in Infusion Pumps 

When patients require continuous pain medication after surgery or in the case of serious illnesses, infusion pumps are often used. These devices contain a syringe with the medication, allowing precise control of drug delivery.

The advantage: infusion pumps ensure a consistent concentration of the active substance in the bloodstream and prevent over- or underdosing. In contrast, taking medication in tablet form often leads to fluctuations in drug levels.

Metallux position sensors play a key role in these systems. They precisely detect the fill level of the syringe and continuously provide feedback on the remaining medication. This enables reliable monitoring and control of dosing.

In addition to potentiometer elements, the Metallux linear sensor MTP-L is particularly suitable for use in medical pump systems.
