Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Obtained hospital equipment from biomedical engineer - bedside monitor, EKG simulator
CAD of provisional design for the hub completed.
Still need to obtain key components such as the myRIO and pacemaker unit.
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Established connection with National Instrument representative
Requesting myRIO.
Received hospital equipment
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Obtain myRIO
Obtain pacemaker from hospital
Design CAD for the male/female adapter for the EKG that will act as our junction
Circuit design
Have everything we need purchased and available.
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Need to have the EKG waveforms along side and in sync with the AEG/VEG waveforms. Create a junction for the EKG
Suggested data logging with time stamp. Added it as our stretch goal for the time being.
Reduce noise and clip pacing spikes
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Buy your way out if the technology is already available. No need to create everything from the ground up if we do not have to.
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Suggested different methods to connect epicardial wires 04/7/2016
Risks and Areas of Concern
Interference with the pacemaker while sampling heart
Still waiting on pacemaker
Having the right gain/amplification of the signals obtained from the heart
Resources or Information Required but not Available
Pacemaker
myRIO
Epicardial wires
Schedule
Obtain pacemaker unit from the hospital
Obtain myRIO
Circuit design finished
CAD of the junction adapter
Begin early phase of testing with the EKG
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
Progress on Report and Webpage
