Navigation Sensor Technology
The area of medical sensors is advancing at a fast pace. sensors, in general, are used in medical technology for navigation of catheter devices used in therapeutic procedures serving as the “eyes” of the physician.
There are several types of sensors: temperature sensor, pressure sensor, force sensor, and Electromagnetic sensors. There are also a variety of technologies utilized in navigation sensors such as infrared, radiofrequency, ultrasound, and more.
Quasar specializes in designing and manufacturing electromagnetic sensors that are rapidly becoming known for the wide range of advantages in many therapeutic procedures.
Electromagnetic sensors function in a ‘passive’ form requiring an external energy source equipped with multiple coils for positioning identification. Embedded or mounted on the distal tip of a catheter and passed through a blood vessel, the sensor receives induced electromagnetic waves while interacting with an external signal.
The Sensor Technology Challenge
- The design of the EM sensor along with the catheter is highly complex and specific to the intended use.
- The success of the device depends on a multi-faceted system including external factors such as trigger, mapping, real-time positioning.
- Catheters and the embedded sensors often need to be miniaturized. Micro assembly can be labor intensive requiring high-end robotic technology.
- High R&D costs
- Slow time to market
