Honeywell FSA Series

The FSA Series consists of piezoresistive force sensors that provide either a ratiometric analogue or digital output for force measurement across the specified force and temperature ranges. The sensors are fully calibrated and temperature compensated for offset, sensitivity, temperature effects and non-linearity using an integrated application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC).

Functions

Honeywell force sensors are typically used in infusion pumps to monitor and control the delivery of fluids, medications, or nutrients to patients. They are used in a non-invasive manner and do not require disinfection or sterilization before reuse. 

  • Monitoring the delivery of fluids, medications, or nutrients to patients
  • Detecting blockages and determining when the bag of fluids or nutrients needs to be changed
