Sensors are essential to ensure the safety of medical treatments. However, Silicon MEMS sensors are too expensive for integration in plastic. Therefore, most disposables cannot offer advanced sensing capabilities due to the high manufacturing, packaging and integration cost of Silicon MEMS sensors. Polymeric ‘Smart Disposables’ with enhanced sensing capabilities will offer reliable and cost effective solutions for medical disposable applications.

​

EZMEMS is developing disposable polymeric pressure, flow and temperature sensors as fully integrated Smart Polymeric Chips (SPC). The design of the SPC allows intuitive and simple connections with external devices and can be easily integrated with any disposable set (e.g. infusion line). All the fluidic flow and sensing elements are embedded within the SPC and the fabrication costs are dramatically reduced while reliability and performance are highly improved. The SPC can also be integrated in any system as a 'Plug&Play' module with wired or wireless connectivity.
