Industry first – portable vibration resistant oxygen sensor

The Paracube Modus is said to be the first vibration resistant, portable paramagnetic oxygen sensor

Hummingbird Sensing Technology designed the Paracube Modus specifically for integration into intra-hospital ventilation equipment.

The Paracube Modus is built on Hummingbird’s paracube platform which integrates Hummingbird’s magneto-dynamic paramagnetic oxygen sensing technology into a compact, resistance of hazardous substances (RoHS)-compliant sensor optimised for OEM integration.

According to Hummingbird, the Paracube Modus represents the first time this technology has been developed for intra-hospital applications that require precise oxygen controlled delivery. 

Martin Cox, market sector manager – sensing technologies, Hummingbird, said: “Our customers identified the need for an oxygen sensor that can withstand the levels of movement and vibration such as those associated with intra-hospital patient transfers. 

“Hummingbird’s engineers responded with a technically advanced and innovative design that meets the challenging conditions of mobile use.  Extensive test results show a dramatic reduction in the effects of vibration – up to a factor of 30 times reduction in direct comparison to a standard Paramagnetic cell.”
