Abstract
Systems and methods for packaging an optical sensor assembly. An optical sensor assembly for use in a blood pump assembly comprises a visor affixed to a pump housing of the blood pump assembly. A support jacket is in contact with an inner surface of the visor, and defines a cavity in which an optical sensor is disposed. Silicone gel is introduced into the cavity, where it cures. Silicone gel within the cavity protects the optical sensor, and the support jacket prevents the overflowing of the gel and contamination of the visor.
