Flow Sensor Neonatal
A jump start for a healthy life.
The Neonatal Flow Sensor from MIM is specifically designed for the special ventilation requirements in newborns and premature infants.
Properties
Innovation since 1980.
The precision of the original.
MIM flow sensors are the component critical for ventilator performance. This is because the complex physiology of a newborn requires a finely tuned balance between the ventilator, the flow sensor and the developing lungs. As a pioneer in neonatal ventilation monitoring, we not only brought this technology for patient monitoring to life but have continued to perfect it.

Flow Sensor Neonatal
Disposable
The Disposable Neonatal Flow Sensor is designed for single use without compromising the precision of its measurements. It offers the highest precision at competitive prices.
Flow Sensor Neonatal
Multi-use
The re-usable Neonatal Flow Sensor combines the advantages of hot-wire anemometry and sterilizability. Thanks to its special selection of materials, the flow sensor is ideally suited for the sterilization processes in hospitals, offering a long working life without any loss of measurement precision. This means it not only meets all the relevant hygienic requirements but is also exceptionally cost effective for the user.

Precise flow measurement
With a dead space of < 1 mL, the MIM flow sensor provides exceptionally sensitive measurements. On-going research means the flow sensor’s tolerances are considerably lower than that of conventional flow sensors and thus the risk of rebreathing is reduced to a minimum — even if there is contact with moisture and secretions.
Intelligent flow measurement
Flow sensors from MIM are based on the trusted hot-wire anemometry technology. Combined with our software solutions, it offers extremely fast and precise measurements as well as exceptionally low inspiratory and expiratory resistances. This makes it the method of first choice compared to others.
Patient-side monitoring
The extremely lightweight flow sensor is being connected close to the patient, reducing the compressible volume of the tube system to a minimum and measuring precisely the expiratory tidal volume. This supports the extraordinary reliable monitoring while enabling a highly sensitive triggering by the patient.
Quality and workmanship
Quality down to the last detail.
Every detail counts: Flow sensors from MIM are produced using only the highest quality components which are a result of our meticulous quality assurance processes and supplier selection. This means we can guarantee the longest working life for our devices together with the most precise measurements.
Quality Management
Ventilation therapy.
Short-term ventilation with long-term results.
MIM flow sensors provide optimum support for stabilizing pressure, counteracting breathing fatigue as well as promoting a regular breathing pattern. This has a sustained effect on the positive development of voice, swallowing and coughing as well as the oxygen supply of the infant.
Original Equipment Manufacturer
Custom design and compatibility.
As an OEM manufacturer, we develop and produce customized flow sensors. The MIM product family offers the additional benefit of being compatible with ventilators from leading international manufacturers.
