Product details
Liquid leakage sensor
Improving peace of mind and safety during dialysis treatment
A major problem during dialysis treatment is blood leakage occurring when the needle slips out. If an adhesive plaster implanted with a sensor is attached to top of the intravenous (IV) needle, a blood leak can be detected immediately.
IV Counter
Applying sensor technology to automatically and accurately count IV drops per minute
With a simple set of the IV tube, the drops administered per minute are automatically counted and displayed. Adjustment of the drip count can be easily carried out and the backlight allows easy checking at night. Because it is rechargeable, changing the batteries is not necessary.
How to use
-
1. Set the IV tube Equipped with a backlight, screen is easily visible
-
2. Drip adjustment Adjust infusion solution speed while observing the drip count
Liquid control system for artificial dialysis equipment
Liquid leakage during artificial dialysis immediately detected and alarm activated
Artificial dialysis equipment carries with it the threat of a major accident in the form of liquid leakage. Taking advantage of our many years of experience in water leakage detection systems, TATSUTA’s system ensures detection of even minute amounts of leakage and activates an alarm.

Three original TATSUTA technologies residing in a single medical product
Conductive film technology
Conductive film technology TATSUTA was the first in the world to succeed in making film from conductive paste and this product is now used in smart phones. This same TATSUTA technology is also being used to play an important role in the development of medical sensors.
Conductive paste technology
Conductive paste technology Plastic or adhesives that conduct electricity are known as conductive paste. This paste and printing technology developed over the years has been applied to liquid leakage and temperature sensors. Printing is also possible on raw materials such as film and nonwoven fabric.
Sensor technology
Sensor technology In addition to sensing and detection, there is also new focus on the additional process of alarm activation. The ability to provide original TATSUTA solutions for all three of these processes is one of our strengths and includes such applications as dialysis room water leakage sensors.
