Quality and Performance

Every sensor is manufactured to exacting quality standards to ensure reliability, durability and reproducible performance during operation.

Combined systems are compatible with the monitor-specific sensors listed on the individual monitor pages but also with the following unique combined sensors:

BF/OF
pO2/Perfusion sensor
Format: Single fiber-optic + laser Doppler fiber ‘doublet’.
Applications: Virtually any tissue type that is not undergoing motion; rapid response times; MRI-compatible.
Requires: OxyLite E + OxyFlo or OxyLab pO2 E + OxyLab LDF.
Product code: BF/OF/E

Tip diam: ~450 µm
Cable length: 2 m

BF/OFT
pO2/Temp/Perfusion sensor
Format: Single fiber-optic + thermocouple + laser Doppler fiber ‘doublet’.
Applications: As BF/OF where temperature fluctuations are expected; may not be MRI-compatible.
Requires: OxyLite E + OxyFlo or OxyLab pO2 E + OxyLab LDF.
Product code: BF/OFT/E

Tip diam: ~450 µm
Cable length: 2 m

SBF/OF
Surface mounting oxygen-only and combined oxygen/blood flow sensors
These ‘surface’ mounting sensors comprise a flat sensing body into which a standard BF type sensor have been integrated. The body of the sensor includes suture holes for easy attachment to tissue and organ surfaces, whilst the measurement occurs from the sensing tip protruding from the flat underside surface. Whilst the slight protrusion of the sensing tip means that the actual measurement remains direct and invasive, this unique sensor can be useful for measurements from shallow and peripheral tissue regions such as mesentery, kidney, liver and gut wall. The sampling area for this type of sensor is identical to that of comparable standard BF sensors.

Approx. Tip diameter: 250 µm or 450 µm (SB/O and SBF/OF respectively)
For OxyLite™ / OxyFlo™ or OxyLab pO2™ / OxyLab LDF™ systems
