Objective • To develop a steel bar prototype that will allow doctors to know the appropriate time to remove the bar from the patient • Prevents chest wall from regressing back to its original state • Real Proof of Concept prototype and Ideal Model • Have the ability to gather this information outside of the body, wirelessly, to provide the least amount of discomfort for the patient.
OverviewPectus Excavatum • Deformity of the chest and ribs • Commonly treated by the Nuss Procedure • 4% of PE patients must undergo the surgery again due to premature removal of bar 16-Year Old Boy With Severe PectusExcavatum
Overview cont’d Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) • Miniature device that can wirelessly transfer data from a RFID reader • Takes in a radio signal and transmits back out the stored information on the tag • Semi-passive RFID Wireless Identification and Sensing Platform (WISP) • Developed by Intel • Powered solely by RF absorbed by antenna Wisp Functional Diagram
Overview cont’dIntel Strain Gauge Solution • Strain gauge PCB has to be built to interface WISP with strain • Wheatstone Bridge • Amplifier
Our Solution • Real Proof of Concept Model • Place 1 strain gauge on the surface of the bar • Using Intel’s strain gauge solution, we can connect the strain gauges to the WISP via a Wheatstone bridge and amplifier • The WISP will interface with the reader (outside of the patient) and report the data using WISP’s reader software • Ideal Model • Ideal model will have 2 strain gauges with all the components built into the bar itself (to cancel noise and tension/compression)
Theoretical Design • AutoCAD model
Equipment Setup • Stainless Steel Bar (9 in.) • E=192 Gpa, v=0.265 • Impinj Speedway 1000 RFID Reader • Antenna (900-925 MHz) • Strain Gauge • WISP
Assembly of Prototype Board • Strain Gauge Printed Circuit Board (SGPCB)
Wheatstone Bridge and Amplifier Assembly of Prototype Board cont’d
WISP Software [ 1 byte | tag type] + [ 8 bytes | data] + [ 1 byte | WISP HW Version] + [ 2 bytes | HW Serial #] [11]
