17ABBPNK - Design and Construction of Medical Devices/Practical Exercises

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.

Compulsory attendance of courses with one allowed absence. Passing of two tests containing: computational exercise (20 points), circuit/schematics design (20 points) and 5 single choice theoretical questions. Classification mark is given as sum of points of two tests according to ECTS classification scale (minimum 50 points for E). See time schedule of course, link below.

1. Initial lesson, circuit analysis and computations, selecting propriate components

2. Making circuit on breadboard, measuring values in circuit using DMM, prototyping

3. THT components placement and soldering - thermometer

4. 1st assessment test, operational amplifiers and instrumentation amplifiers

5. Circuit/schematics and PCB design in Eagle editor

6. SMD components placement and soldering - bargraf

7. 2nd assessment test, LabVIEW measuring application design, digitalization with DAQ card

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.
