ABSTRACT:
A pressure sensor assembly configured for use with a catheter. In one illustrative embodiment, the pressure sensor assembly may include a multi-layer co-fired ceramic (MLCC) package. The MLCC package may include two or more ceramic layers that are co-fired together, with a cavity defined by at least some of the ceramic layers. At least one internal bond pad is provided within the cavity, and at least one external connection point is provided on the MLCC package exterior. A sensor, such as a pressure sensor, may be positioned and attached within the cavity. The sensor may be electrically connected to at least one of the internal bond pads. In some cases, a sealant may be used to encapsulate the sensor within the cavity. Once fabricated, the MLCC sensor assembly may be provided in a sensor lumen of a catheter.
