Want to test Millar's MEMS pressure sensors and get an inside look at our capabilities? Then a MEMS Developer Kit may be the right fit for you. 

Sensor integration can be a challenging task and the first step to ensuring a smooth design phase is to choose the best suiting sensor for your application. Millar's microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are high-performance, medically proven pressure sensors that integrate with a wide variety of medical devices and applications to provide continuous, real-time insights into existing patient conditions. 
Smarter medical devices are enabling physicians and healthcare workers to produce quantifiable data that leads to more supportive diagnoses and better data-driven treatments, thereby contributing to an overall improvement in patient quality of life. This transition is largely enabled by advances in sensor technology.   


Millar offers a fully customizable MEMS Developer Kit that allows you to test the performance and integration of our sensors with your existing medical devices and technology. Leveraging both our high-fidelity sensors and our extensive pressure sensing expertise, this initial testing and analysis can help identify potential issues early in the development process, eliminating unnecessary costs and delays, and gaining insight into project scope and future manufacturing requirements. 

 

What's Included?

Although customizable to customer needs, a typical MEMS Developer Kit includes: 

  • MEMS Connect (1F, 2F, or 3F)
  • PCU-2000
  • PowerLab Data Acquisition System
  • Interface Cables 

“Partnering with Millar has really helped us understand what is needed to take our device to the next level. Being able to benchtop test their sensors in our device prototypes was very insightful and helped us get to know their sensor technology."

Take the Sensor Selection Quiz


Test our knowledge and get to know our OEM experts by taking our Sensor Selection Quiz. One of the most frequently asked questions when integrating a sensor into a medical device is, "Which sensor is best?" Take the quiz to see which sensor might be the best fit for you. 


 

Investing in a Feasibility Assessment 

After you’ve had the chance to test and understand our sensors through the MEMS Developer Kit, the typical next step in the OEM journey is a feasibility assessment. This stage helps to determine the best pressure sensor integration solution for your medical device. This initial testing and analysis phase identifies potential issues early in the development process, eliminating unnecessary costs and delays, and gaining insight into project scope and future manufacturing requirements. 


Once a project passes our initial feasibility assessment, it moves into the proof-of-concept phase, which involves product customization to test full sensor integration into one or more working designs. The Millar OEM team explores multiple design iterations before selecting and refining a final design.
