A pressure sensor is configured to be positioned in a receptacle of a manifold of a fluid control system and in fluidic connection with fluid in a fluid passageway defined by the manifold. The pressure sensor includes: a metal housing including one or more interior cavities, the metal housing being configured to fit entirely within the receptacle; a flexible metal diaphragm attached to the metal housing and having a first portion positioned between an interior cavity of the one or more interior cavities and the fluid passageway and the first portion being configured to move inward and outward with respect to an interior cavity in response to a fluid pressure in the fluid passageway; and electrical circuitry configured for converting a pressure of fluid in the fluid passageway into an electrical signal.
An implantable fluid operated device, comprising:
A pressure sensor configured to be positioned in a receptacle of a manifold of a fluid control system and in fluidic connection with fluid in a fluid passageway defined by the manifold, the pressure sensor comprising:
