BDC/BDR Clamp-On Sensors
BDC/BDR series clamp-on sensors detect air bubbles,
air-in-line and liquid level in rigid tubing
HIGHLIGHTS
N Non-invasive technology does not contact the fluid

or require a break in the tubing.

N Low cost, premium performance.

CERTIFICATIONS

N Wide range of sizes and

mounting options.

N Fastest air bubble detection

circuitry available.

N Not affected by fluid color

designed to work with a wide range of tubing
materials and sizes. In conjunction with Introtek

circuitry they provide the most reliable clamp-on bubble
detection. BDR is recommended for applications where

a mounting base is not a requirement.
Used for similar applications, BDC clamp-on
sensors are available with a mounting base. Both
sensors are designed to work with rigid tubing.

TECHNOLOGY
Introtek air bubble detectors and liquid level sensors
utilize high-frequency acoustic energy to monitor tubing

APPLICATIONS
N Air bubble, air-in-line and liquid level sensing

N Patient-connected medical devices, including:

• Apheresis

• Heart-lung bypass

• Auto-transfusion

• Dialysis

• Infusion pumps

• Cardiac assist pumps

• Perfusion-based “life support” devices

N Chromatography and separations technology
N Immunoassay and diagnostic equipment
N Liquid and chemical dispensing
N Blood processing equipment

or vessels for the presence of air, air bubbles, foam or
liquid. The sensor’s piezoelectric crystals are placed in
direct contact with the desired point of detection. Air
detection sensors and electronics emit pulses of ultrasonic energy which are sent through tubing and
returned within a specified “window” of time. If air is
present, the ultrasonic signal does not arrive within this
“window” of time and a warning or dry signal is
immediately transmitted.
