Honeywell Sensors in Ventilators Applicaton Note

A medical ventilator is designed to move a mixture of air and oxygen into and out of the patient’s lungs to either assist in breathing, or, in some cases, mechanically breathe for the patient who is breathing insufficiently or is physically unable to breathe. Honeywell manufactures many sensors that may be used in ventilators. They are designed to help control pressure, airflow and temperature and humidity, as well as to provide output for smooth motor control.
