Department of Biomedical Technology

Synopsis:

This course will introduce students with basics of design, construction and development process of devices which are used in medical, clinical or laboratory practice. Subject will be divided in two parts. Theoretical part will that follow these topics: basic philosophy of device design and construction, materials, components, laws and standards, process of developments from blueprints and prototype to „ready to sell“ device. Practical part will introduce students into blueprints designs, circuit and schematics drawing, PCB design and development, soldering THT and SMT components, signal conditioning and processing, data acquisition. Also students will develop their simple prototype device and create measuring application in LabVIEW.

Requirements:

Developing simple device chosen from list of available prototypes, i.e. determining problem and goal of selected device/prototype, circuit and PCB design, soldering components, creating measuring application in LabVIEW, presenting results.

Syllabus of lectures:

1.Device design philosophy, determining problem and goal.

2.Selecting right components for design, suppliers and manufacturers.

3.Making circuit design and simulation in MULTISIM and designing PCBs in ULTIBOARD.

4.PCB development process, soldering and creating simple device prototype.

5.Data acquisition, signal analysis and processing.

6.Developing measuring application in LabVIEW development system.

7.Laws, standards, patents, business.

Syllabus of tutorials:

Available prototypes to design

Students will select one from this list of prototypes. These prototypes will be developed during practical lectures.

Available topics:

- blood pressure monitor - non-invasive and invasive,

- spirometer,

- bio signal analyser - ECG, EMG, EOG,

- absorption spectrometer.

Study Objective:

To develop a more detailed view of the design and development of medical devices applied to practical situations, which include: instrumentation amplifier utilization, common mode signal suppression, galvanic isolation and connection of the specialized sensors and transducers.
