The Titan 800-Series flowmeter from Titan Enterprise has been integrated by Paxman Coolers Ltd to enhance the its Scalp Cooling System for chemotherapy treatment.
Hair loss is considered one of the most negative factors in a cancer patient’s care. About 65% of patients will undergo a chemotherapy that will cause hair loss. The Paxman scalp cooler has been used by more than 100,000 patients in 32 countries and is used to help patients to keep their hair and retain normality during chemotherapy by lowering scalp temperature before, during and after the administration of chemotherapy.
Paxman Coolers Ltd. turned to Titan Enterprises to develop a flowmeter to monitor the rate of coolant flow around the patented cooling cap. Based upon their 800-Series turbine flowmeter – Titan Enterprises were able to provide Paxman with the technology to ensure that the coolant flow rate is kept within an optimum range to provide the patient with the best possible chance of keeping their hair.
Patrick Burke, Technical Manager of Paxman, said: "We chose to integrate the Titan Enterprises 800 Series flowmeter into our Scalp Cooling System because it offered an excellent balance of measurement accuracy, long term resistance to coolant fluids, high reliability and proved easy to
maintain”.
Operating over six flow ranges from 0.05 to 15 litres per minute, the Titan Enterprises 800 Series turbine flowmeter combines high performance and
competitive pricing. Using totally non-metallic wetted components makes the 800 Series suitable for the metering of corrosive chemicals in particular.
