The products used in the ventilators and anesthesia devices must offer maximum reliability and we have made this our goal.
KENDRION has been producing components and systems that meet these requirements for decades. Valves, pressure regulators and other components are processed in a special manufacturing environment in an oxygen-compatible manner. These components are free of oil and grease.
For example, KENDRION can develop and produce gas mixing systems that mix oxygen and air in an exact ratio using their own proportional valves. KENDRION also supplies manually operated bypass valves with sensor interrogation or solenoid valves and pressure regulators for premature baby ventilation.
Are you looking for high-quality, precise and safe components for anesthesia and respiratory technology? Then Kendrion is the right partner at your side! Feel free to contact us, our sales team is here for you.
We can deliver many standard and custom oxygen solutions using our pressure regulators and valves at short notice and are happy to check your ramp-up scenarios in our production.
Precise solenoid assembly for oxygen sensor
In ventilation technology, patient safety has the highest priority. Among other things, inspiratory and expiratory oxygen measurement plays a central role, and for this reason, it must be reliably measured and monitored.
Our solution:
This is achieved using paramagnetic measurement, which exploits the magnetic properties of oxygen. Instead of hoses, flexibly designed channels in the PCB connect the fluidic elements, eliminating complex assembly. A Kendrion magnet assembly consisting of two electromagnets provides a precise magnetic field that can be switched on and off, in which the thermal conductivity measurement for determining the O2 concentration is carried out.
Advantages:
– robust design
– precise magnetic field
– compact design
– long service life
Oxygen control unit for pediatrics in application
This combination of pressure regulator and solenoid valve controls the oxygen supply in an incubator for premature infants in pediatrics. The unit and its connection periphery are perfectly integrated in the incubator and guarantee the respiration air supply within defined limits. The focus of this customer-specific development was combining the special requirements concerning NIST screw connection and ventilation via “muffler“ with the regulator-valve combination in a particularly small and space-saving design.
Advantages
Physiologically harmless materials
Integrated filter elements
Sensitive membrane regulator
Flow Regulator for manual oxygen dosage in Anesthetic devices
This specially developed throttle valve controls the oxygen supply to the respiratory mask of an anesthetic device. In case the control electronics of the device fails, the anesthetist can intervene manually to guarantee the patient’s respiration air supply. The flow is between 0 and 12 l/min depending on the rotation angle of 0° to 270°. A micro switch indicates that the unit is active. Not only has this customer-specific development been realized in a particularly small design. The position monitoring of the regulator via micro switch is an especially innovative solution in this application too.
Product features:
- UL listed materials
- Including electric signal output
- Self-inhibiting shaft for mobile use
Oxygen-valve for dosage in anesthetic devices
In emergency medicine it is sometimes necessary to control oxygen flow to the patient by hand during the anesthesia process. The inhaled gas for the mask will be enriched with oxygen within the device. For this “O2 flush function” a manual 2/2 way valve was provided with two micro switches which indicate the switching status to both controller and user shortly before the valve opens. This customized development was realised in compact size. Particularly the use of standard push buttons or selectors made a comprehensively tolerance optimized design necessary.
Product features:
Oxygen appropriate materials
Electric signal output included
Standard selector with special adapter
