VN Series Pressure Sensors

Superior Sensor Technology's pressure sensors offer an ideal combination of very high performance and reliability

Image of Superior Sensor Technology's VN Series Pressure SensorsBased on Superior Sensor Technology’s NimbleSense™ architecture, the VN series is a comprehensive set of pressure sensors for ventilator and high-flow oxygen devices. This family of products includes sensors for measuring inlet (wall and tank), flow, inspiratory, expiratory, and barometric pressures. The VN series utilizes Multi-RangeTM technology to create a wide dynamic range, eliminating the need for fine-tuning or additional calibration.

The VN series combines an advanced piezoresistive sensing element with integrated amplification, ADC, DSP, and a digital interface. Advanced digital processing enables functionality, thus simplifying system development while adding manufacturing ease and increasing reliability.

With optional advanced digital filtering customization and a three-mode pressure switch, the VN series is more than a pressure sensor, it is a pressure-sensing subsystem.

Finally, the VN series eliminates the need for the ventilator to oversample sensor outputs as the sensor oversamples at 12 kHz and includes internal bandwidth filters to provide a clean update rate greater than 1 kHz.

Constructed with a highly reliable plastic enclosure, the VN series provides an ideal combination of very high performance and reliability while ensuring customers have a high-volume, cost-effective solution that is optimized for ventilators and high-flow oxygen devices.
