Multi-Disciplinary Senior Design Biomedical Systems and Technologies P13027- Portable Emergency Ventilator Spring 2013-Fall 2013
Meet Our Team: Megan O’Connell (ME) –Team Lead Paulina Klimkiewicz (ME) Steven DiGerardo (ME) Jake Leone (ME) David Herdzik (EE) Matthew Burkell (EE) And our Helping Hands: Jeff Gutterman -Customer Dr. Roman Press -Customer Professor Ed Hanzlik- Advisor Mary Murphy- Product Consultant
Project Introduction Goal: Design and create a Mechanical Ventilator, which improves upon the design and technology implemented within: 1. MediResp III – As created by Jeff Gutterman and Dr. Roman Press 2. MediResp IV- As created by Multi-Disciplinary Senior Design team P13026 Device needs to maintain Food and Drug Administration (FDA) functional equivalency as outlined in FDA 510(k).
Mechanical Ventilator Background • Provide Positive Air Flow Respiration to the Patient in Emergency Situation • Maintain Oxygen Supply to Patient • Function over four modes • Constant Mandatory Ventilation (CMV) • Assist • Manual • Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) • Eliminates Mouth to Mouth Contact during CPR
Initial Condition • Outdated technologies • Poor Portability- Large and Heavy • Short Battery Life • Confusing Displays • Inefficient controls and operation MediResp III • Poor Portability and Ergonomics • Small Display • Confusing Control Operation • Lack of User Feedback • Non-functioning Assist and CPR Mode MediResp IV
Proposed Redesign- From Final Design Review Update from P13026: • Battery Size-> Reduce Size & keep same capacity • Reduce Circuit Board size-> Create custom board for all electrical connections • Improve Display Ergonomics • Reduce Size and Weight of PEV Additions: • Visual Animated Display-> Moving Vitals • Memory capabilities • USB Extraction of Data • Mechanical Overload Condition due to Electrical Malfunction • Instruction Manual
Our High Level DesignHow we achieved our Proposed Design1. New Breath Delivery Unit - New Sensor Utilization
2. Custom Printed Circuit Board - New Battery Charging Circuit - Closed Loop Control - Integrated Sensor with RC Circuit for Flow Dampening - Improved Processor Capabilities
3. Improved Enclosure and Usability - Smaller Enclosure - Light weight Design - Larger Display - Functional Portability - Efficient Controls
S3- Volume Flow Rate Mapping Mark: 15-60 L/min Achieved: 12-32 L/min
S4- Pressure Sensitivity Monitoring Mark: 0.5 ± 0.5 cm of H20 Achieved: 0.65 cm of water of Accuracy 0.1 cm of water Sensitivity
S8- Battery Life (Full System) Average Battery Life = 4 hr 20 minutes Mark: 2.0 hours Achieved: 4.3 hours
S12- External Relief Valve Mark: Relieve at 1.0 psi Achieved: Relieves at 1.0 psi for lower flow rates
S14- Weight Reduction Mark: Less than 18 lbs Achieved: 9.5 lbs
Improvements from Imagine RIT Usability Study Decreased Size 2. Increased Display Screen Size 3. Improved Portability Ergonomics 4. Improved Display Understanding 5. Improved Clarity of Knob Range
Project Challenges: • Diaphragm Pump Dampening • Pressure Sensitivity for Assist Mode • Electrical Component Troubleshooting • Minimizing Size, Maximizing Usability • Minimizing Weight, Maximizing Performance
Future Improvements: • New Design of PCB to impliment memory capabilities, new battery charging circuit, minor improvements • Upgrade to Parker Double-Headed 62LPM Diaphragm Pump to reach upper flow rate range • Understand Pressure Feedback during CPR Mode • Redesign of Mechanical Relief Valve to Relieve High Flow Rate Volume • Integrate Pulse Oximeter Programming to Sense and Extract Data (Measure Oxygen Levels) • Integrate USB Data Extraction • Integrate CO2 Sensing Capabilities • Incorporate permanent mounts for durability testing
