The invention relates to a medical device comprising a printable electrical component (), the printable electrical component () comprising a plastic substrate (L) wherein at least electrical component (E) is applied to the plastic substrate, wherein the electrical component (E) comprises a dried conductive ink, wherein the plastic substrate is selected from the group comprising polycarbonate, cycloolefin copolymers, polymethylacrylate, polypropylene and wherein the dried conductive ink comprise silver and/or gold, wherein the electrical component (E) comprises feather-like and/or meander-like and/or spiral-shaped sections, whereby the medical device further comprises a fluid line, wherein the printable electrical component is located on the outside of the fluid line. The invention also relates to a medical device comprising a printable electrical component () the printable electrical component () comprising a plastic substrate (L), wherein at least one electrical component (E) is applied to the plastic substrate, wherein the electrical component (E) comprises a dried conductive ink, wherein the plastic substrate is selected from a group comprising polycarbonate, cycloolefin copolymers, polymethyl-methacrylate, polypropylene and wherein the dried, conductive ink comprises silver and/or gold, wherein the electrical component (E) comprises at least one conductor section or at least two electrodes, characterized in that the electrical component (E) is part of an expansion sensor and/or a pressure sensor and/or a thermal flow sensor.

Printable electrical component comprising a plastic substrate

Sensor having a primary coil, two secondary coils as well as an evaluator. An excitation signal may be applied to the primary coil. An output signal depending on a position of a coupling element may be induced in each secondary coil. An evaluator is configured to evaluate the output signals in order to evaluate a phase offset between the output signals. Further, the evaluator is configured to provide a sensor output signal indicating the position or change in position of the coupling element.
