Fluid Management for Medical Sciences

Gems has gained global recognition for refining and producing a wide range of high quality and trustworthy fluidic systems and components. Live customer and industry feedback is utilized by Gems to drive quality and manufacturing initiatives. Post installation, Gems’ products continuously run in some of the harshest environments in the world.

Currently, there are Gems units in the field today that have been operating for decades without experiencing a decline in their initial performance. With the engineering skill of Gems and its broad base of intellectual property, Gems can provide customized, engineered fluidic systems, solutions, and integrated sub-assemblies more successfully within the industry.

A combination of ISO registered quality processes, a distinct array of intelligent sensors, and world-class lean manufacturing tools are employed by Gems to significantly maximize quality, efficiency, and productivity.

Gems appreciate that the art of fluid handling starts with proven methodology, sound science, and strict discipline. An extensive catalogue of pressure, flow, and level sensors are offered, along with miniature solenoid valves, available through Gems’ worldwide distribution and sales network.

Three fully-equipped ISO certified manufacturing sites, residing in North America (ISO: 13485), Asia (ISO: 9001), and Europe (ISO: 9001), deliver more than four million Gems sensors each year.

As a level sensing expert since 1955, Gems boasts the widest range of material compatibility in the industry, with a trustworthy, and hard-wearing performance.

Medical Lasers: Helping Lasers Stay Cool

Gems’ flow switches predict the minimum flow of liquids in the laser’s cooling loop to prevent overheating and machine shut down. Gems’ valves control coolant is also present in the handheld laser wand. Gems’ products control and measure air, coolant, dialysate, cleaning solutions, gases, and water.

Gems’ laser products include the easy to maintain and compact FS-500 flow switch. In this product, the housing and pipework can be left intact while the bonnet and shuttle are removed resulting in hassle-free operations. The FS-380P flow switch maintains adequate cooling to the laser generator which prevents machine shut down and overheating.

Gems offers components of a high quality at cost-efficient prices. Gems’ engineers continually develop products for use in laser treatments for vascular treatment, hair and tattoo removal, and skin resurfacing.

Surgical Systems: Accurate at Low Pressure and Low Temperature

Gems’ valves are utilized in cryosurgical equipment to manage delivery and vent low-pressure liquid nitrogen, particularly in systems for low-pressure cryogenic ablation. Furthermore, Gems’ pressure transducers continuously observe liquid nitrogen supply tanks. Gems’ valves can actuate at incredibly high speeds (2,500 actuations per minute) with repeatable performance for use in intricate vitrectomy procedures.

Gems A, B, and D valves have the ability to vent low pressure liquid nitrogen and control delivery. This robust two and three-way miniature solenoid series is designed with a stainless-steel body to shield against corrosion from the majority of harsh environments, acids, and alkaline solutions.

Gems 2200 Series Pressure Transducer presents modular packaging, CVD sensing technology, and an ASIC (amplified units) to bestow a sensor range that can simply adhere to special requirements without sacrificing great performance.

In Vitro Diagnostics: Industry’s Smallest Continuous Level Sensors

Giving the customer more flexibility in design, Gems XM/XT-300 Series Level Transmitters are among the most condensed continuous level transmitters internationally. Gems’ reliable series of flow, pressure, and level valves and sensors are a major component to a large number of sophisticated and high-yielding diagnostic machines. Gems Level sensors record and analyze a variety of fluids ranging from buffers, waste, DI water, and detergents.

The XM/XT-300 Series Continuous Level Transmitters are a total series of small, polysulfone liquid level sensors perfect for tanks of a small depth and reservoirs. These plastic level sensors create a wide choice of mountings and float materials due to their compact and versatile nature.

Gems line of contact, non-contact, or non-intrusive probe level sensors are adaptable to the most challenging aqueous applications, with an ultra-low Level Sensor for the detection of levels as low as 16 mm from tank bottom. This can be utilized as a bulk fluid sensor for detergents, DI water, mineral oil, or diluent.

Analytical Instruments: Solutions for Mass Spectrometry Chromatography and Laboratory Pure Water

For the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, durable and precise analytical equipment is essential to obtain accurate data. Gems’ engineered fluidic solutions for analytical devices adapt to the customer’s needs for value, materials, time, and space.

B-Cryo Series Valve are compacted and have been engineered to perform in extreme temperatures, manufactured for service down to -196 °C. The FS-380 Flow Switch, the one-piece magnetic PPS composite piston, is perfect for applications that are high-pressure. This utilizes 100 micron filtration which is not as prone to clogging when compared with alternative high-pressure in line flow switches.

In conclusion, the 3100/3200 Series Thin Film Pressure Transducers provide a competitive price to performance ratio in a compact package size. This range features a wide choice of electrical outputs, all stainless-steel wetted parts, and a broad selection of electrical and pressure connections.

From analytical instruments to medical lasers, Gems has decades of experience in sensor customization and hundreds of collective in-house years of expertise in engineering. As such, Gems is specially equipped to answer even the hardest fluidic management challenges.
