SP Series
Spirometer-optimized pressure sensors with unique zero drift technology and very fast response times
The SP Series, built on the NimbleSense™ architecture, delivers exceptional performance with an industry-leading noise floor, resulting in unparalleled accuracy and minimal error rates. Its proprietary Z-Track™ technology eliminates zero drift and removes the need for routine device calibration, while the innovative Multi-Range™ technology allows each unit to support four selectable pressure ranges.
Setting a new benchmark for sensor integration in the spirometry market, the SP Series combines amplification, ADC, DSP, and processor intelligence directly within the sensor. These devices feature rapid warm-up and response times, ultra-low power consumption, and are unaffected by changes in orientation. By utilizing floating-point technology and advanced digital processing, the SP Series delivers a highly accurate digital output, ensuring maximum precision.
These distinctive features enable medical device manufacturers to differentiate their products, while providing healthcare professionals with the most accurate lung performance diagnostics available.
