Pressure sensor assembly including a cured elastomeric force transmitting member

A pressure sensor assembly comprising:

• a printed circuit board having a front side and a back side;
• a pressure sensor having a front side and a back side, the pressure sensor mounted to the printed circuit board with the back side of the pressure sensor facing the front side of the printed circuit board;
• a ring having a front side and a back side, wherein the ring is mounted to the printed circuit board with the back side of the ring facing the front side of the printed circuit board and the front side of the ring spaced away from the front side of the printed circuit board, the ring extending circumferentially around the pressure sensor and defining an opening from the front side of the ring to the pressure sensor;
• a force transmitting member positioned at least partially within the opening of the ring, the force transmitting member having a front side and a back side, wherein the front side of the force transmitting member includes a biocompatible cured silicone elastomer and the back side of the force transmitting member engages the front side of the pressure sensor, wherein the force transmitting member transmits a force applied to the front side of the force transmitting member to the front side of the pressure sensor;
• a reservoir includes one or more extensions that define an opening,
• wherein the first side of the force transmitting member is exposed to the interior of the reservoir, and
• wherein the one or more extensions are configured to engage the first side of the force transmitting member to seal the opening.
