The present invention presents a novel oxygenator of the invention provides a revolutionary engineering design and management of the flow regime in a completely different way from the existing and accepted regime in the field of oxygenators, that further lower the risk levels associated with the use of oxygenators and reduces the manufacturing cost. The revolutionary technology is aimed to divert the world of blood oxygenation from the use of technology that relies on a fiber membrane or gas bubbles and causes substantial damage to the patient's blood, towards the use of technology that allows the exchange of gases without a membrane at all and is aimed to reduces risks and improves patient outcome.

A pressure measuring device 30 installs on a tube 11 for transferring a medium BL so as to measure a pressure of the medium BL inside the tube 11. The pressure measuring device 30 includes a main body portion 31 mountable to the tube 11, polarizing means 34 disposed in the main body portion 31 so that light oscillating in a specific direction is transmitted therethrough, an image acquisition unit 32 disposed in the main body portion 31 so that image information on a pressure receiver that is deformed in response to the received pressure is acquired through the polarizing means 34, and a control unit 100 that converts the image information acquired by the image acquisition unit 32 into pressure information about the pressure.
