Medical Pump Pump Squad Objectives Functionality ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Pump fluid in one direction Constant flow and motion, no backflow Various flow rates for different uses Connection for electricity Connection to fluid storage, air tight Constant pressure inside tubing Touch screen, interactive control system Longevity, 6 hour use time Materials ● ● ● ● PTFE, stainless steel Silicone rubber Sterile tubing Cost efficient Size ● ● ● ● Light weight (10 pounds) Portable Stable Adjustable Research ● Peristaltic pump uses rotational movement to displace fluid along a tube. Pump doesn't come in contact with fluid. ● Between 50-100 mL/hr on average depending on a patient's needs and fluid being administered Initial Design - Unsanitary (blood comes into contact with the pump system) - Needs air-tight gaps for pump to efficiently work Design Peristaltic pump - Allows pump to move fluid without coming in contact with it by using rotational movement Adjustable Flow Rate - Average flow rate between 50 - 100 mL/hr Dimensions (All dimensions are in mm) Weight: 9.5 lbs Pictures Stepper Motor - Used for accurate electricity voltage - Suitable for our use Eg: used in 3D printers Screen + Buttons - A digital screen and buttons to display data and control flow rate Tolerances - - Shaft of motor is toleranced to 0.0508 mm smaller than the connecting hole to pump Necessary to ensure proper fit Thank You!
