Description

The SFM3300-AW employs Sensirion’s advanced CMOSens® technology, combining a thermal flow sensing element with integrated signal processing on a single chip. This MEMS-based design provides a calibrated digital output, ensuring high accuracy and long-term stability for critical medical gas flow applications. The sensor is compensated for temperature variations and outputs a linearized flow value directly via the I2C bus.

Engineered for demanding medical environments, the sensor features an autoclavable (AW) version with a PPSU/MABS enclosure, making it suitable for sterilization cycles. Its compact form factor and extremely low internal dead volume minimize interference with patient breathing circuits, while its robust construction resists ESD up to 8 kV contact discharge.

Key Features

  • High-precision digital flow sensor with ±250 slm full-scale range
  • CMOSens® technology for chip-level integration and calibration
  • Medical-grade ISO5356-1 22mm conical connectors for secure gas line attachment
  • Autoclavable (AW) design with PPSU/MABS housing for sterilization
  • Ultra-low dead space (<1 ml) to minimize measurement interference
  • Integrated digital temperature compensation for stable readings
  • I2C digital interface (400 kHz max) with 7-bit address 0x40
  • ESD protection rated for 8 kV contact discharge

Applications

  • Neonatal and paediatric mechanical ventilation systems for proximal and expiratory flow monitoring
  • Anesthesia machine gas flow measurement and metabolic monitoring equipment
  • Diagnostic spirometers and respiratory function analyzers requiring fast response
  • Laboratory gas flow control and calibration systems for non-aggressive gases

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage and communication interface for the SFM3300-AW sensor?

The SFM3300-AW operates from a 5V DC ±5% power supply and communicates exclusively via a digital I2C interface. The I2C bus can run at speeds up to 400 kHz, and the sensor has a default 7-bit slave address of 0x40 (hexadecimal).

Is this sensor suitable for patient breathing circuits, and can it be sterilized?

Yes, the SFM3300-AW is specifically designed for medical respiratory applications. The 'AW' variant features an autoclavable PPSU/MABS housing and medical-grade ISO5356-1 22mm conical connectors, allowing it to withstand standard sterilization cycles used in hospital equipment reprocessing.

What gases can the SFM3300-AW sensor measure, and what is its response time?

The sensor is calibrated for use with non-aggressive, non-condensing gases such as air, oxygen, and nitrous oxide commonly used in medical applications. It provides an extremely fast response time of 0.5 milliseconds, which is critical for accurately tracking rapid changes in flow during ventilation.

How do I interpret the bidirectional flow measurement and what is the full scale range?

The sensor provides a signed digital output corresponding to flow direction and rate. A positive value indicates flow in one direction (e.g., inspiration), while a negative value indicates flow in the opposite direction (e.g., expiration). The full-scale measurement range is ±250 standard liters per minute (slm).
