and closes the flow path by pinching disposable
tubing. Although not typically
referred to as an isolation valve, a pinch
valve performs a similar function by isolating
the valve mechanism from the media
through use of the tubing.
As new home-use dialysis machines
are developed, a general-purpose (air)
valve is often used as a pilot valve. As
these machines become smaller and
more portable, developers continue to
seek new flow-control solutions that provide
high flows in very compact sizes. Besides
a high flow-to-size ratio, other key
features that designers look for include
low power consumption, quiet operation,
and extremely long cycle life.
The global market for both point-ofcare
testing instruments and home-use
medical devices is expected to grow rapidly
over the coming decades. To meet
this demand, developers will continue to
design products that are smaller, less
complex, and easier to use. As global demand
increases, choosing the right supplier
partner is critical. Along with component
features, developers should

consider the supplier's application expertise,
global reach, and localized manufacturing

advantages for developers bringing diagcloser
