Core Application Fields of DDS Medical Gas Sensors

微信图片_20260625111447_599_51.pngFor more than a decade, DDS has been a trusted designer and manufacturer of high-performance gas sensors across diverse application sectors. We produce over 3.5 million sensors annually, whose products are widely adopted in industries demanding outstanding precision, reliability and consistency. Building on this proven track record, we are proud to embark on a new chapter with the launch of our dedicated medical gas sensor series.

Medical Sensor Application Segments

  • Inhaled Nitric Oxide (INO)

  • 微信图片_20260625111500_600_51.png

  • Exhaled Carbon Monoxide Testing for Smoking Cessation

  • Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide (FeNO) Detection

  • Respiratory Equipment

  • Oxygen Concentrators & Oxygen Therapy Devices

  • Digestive Analysis (SIBO Testing)

  • Medical Facility Infrastructure Monitoring

  • Ventilator Systems

DDS medical oxygen sensors, particularly the MD+VOX medical oxygen sensor, are commonly deployed in mechanical ventilators to measure and regulate delivered oxygen concentrations.

Key Functions

  • Continuous monitoring of FiO₂ (Fraction of Inspired Oxygen) across the full 0–100% oxygen range

  • Closed-loop feedback control to deliver targeted oxygen levels to patients

Advantages of Choosing DDS Gas Sensors

  • Ultra-fast response time (T90 < 5 seconds)

  • Stable partial pressure of oxygen readings

  • Integrated on-board temperature compensation

  • Field-proven dependable performance for long-duty-cycle operations

Typical Equipment Deployments

  • ICU Ventilators

  • Portable Medical Ventilators

  • Emergency & Transport Ventilators

DDS oxygen sensors are integrated into INO delivery systems, where oxygen measurement serves as a critical component of comprehensive gas monitoring platforms.

Role of Oxygen Sensors in INO Systems

  • Real-time verification of oxygen concentrations during nitric oxide therapy

  • Clinical support for neonatal and critical care ward management

Core Requirements for INO System Sensors

  • Exceptional measurement stability

  • Minimal signal drift over extended operating durations

Patient Monitoring & Critical Care Applications

DDS oxygen sensors are also integrated into standalone oxygen monitoring modules, including:

  • Standalone oxygen concentration monitors

  • Backup and redundant oxygen sensors for life-support systems

  • Oxygen alarm and interlock safety assemblies

Relevant Use Cases

  • ICU patient vital sign monitoring

  • Neonatal respiratory surveillance

  • Portable emergency oxygen monitoring devices

    Their superior long-term stability and predictable drift characteristics allow medical devices to operate with extended calibration intervals.

Diagnostic & Respiratory Analysis Instrument Applications

Beyond oxygen measurement alone, DDS sensors are built into clinical respiratory analyzers that pair oxygen detection with sensing of other gases such as carbon monoxide (CO) and nitric oxide (NO).
