Introtek's non-invasive air bubble detection system is used in critical medical applications
Introtek's non-invasive air bubble detection system is used in critical medical applications to detect air before it enters a patient's bloodstream. It has also been successfully utilized in many other applications.

Introtek's BD Series Bubble Detection System consists of a sensor and electronics. The BD8/BD9 series is an integral design with the BD3 series electronics encapsulated in a housing, and the sensor mounted directly on the housing. The BD3 electronics provides technology for the most reliable bubble detection system of its type. The electronics board generates the transmit signal for the sensor, processes the return signal, and provides the host device with an electronic output.

These units provide reliable, low maintenance performance in the most demanding applications. The BD8/BD9 integral system is designed to be easily integrated into an OEM device.
