Introtek International Introduces The Pressure-Occlusion Detector

Introtek International Press Release

Edgewood, New York — At its Edgewood, New York facility today, Introtek International has announced the introduction of the Pressure-Occlusion Detector.

The Pressure-Occlusion Detector, or "PRO" as it is referred, was developed as a result of the steadily growing interest from the global community of medical device manufacturers. The PRO Detector presents customers a solution to accurately monitor tubing occlusion in the form of a non-invasive, free-entry, maintenance-free sensor. The PRO detects positive and negative air pressure in soft tubing and produces a corresponding output signal.

"The development of a superior quality, inexpensive, free-entry sensor to detect pressure and occlusion for the medical OEM industry is a prime example of how Introtek products have always been driven by the demands of an ever evolving market for improved technology." said Deb Corwin, General Manager of Introtek and employee of over 20 years. "Once again, Introtek has met the challenges and succeeded with a sensor that will undoubtedly meet the requirements of medical device manufacturers throughout the world."

Joe Mariano, Engineering Manager of Introtek was also very excited when speaking about the PRO Detector. "I believe there is a multitude of applications for this non-invasive pressure-occlusion sensor that is not limited to the medical device marketplace. Monitoring tubing pressure is very common in other industries that include packaging, and pharmaceutical production."

Introtek International has been custom-designing and manufacturing non-invasive ultrasonic sensors since 1982. Introtek has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Magnetrol since 1986. In addition to the pressure-occlusion detector, other types of sensors designed and manufactured by Introtek include air bubble and end-of-stream detection in tubing, continuous liquid levels in containers and tanks, drip chamber sensors, point-level sensors for containers and fluidic cassettes, and optical sensors for blood component detection.
