Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Analyzed potential components
Conducted Risk Reduction (tested Kapton tape)
Compared between methods and decided on the final solution: Cover Method
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Risk Reductions Presentation
Set up Team Webpage Internal Page
Creating an objective method to compare all four initial methods (Spray, Wipe. UV, Cover)
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Brainstorm designs for the Cover Dispenser/Stamper (All members)
Research and purchase different materials that can be used as cover by 04/03 (All members)
Test the sound transmission ability of each material (All members)
Decide on the final mechanism that works best for the chosen materials and general design (All members)
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Have a final method to disinfect the stethoscope (March 7th in person): Cover method
Set up time for the weekly meeting (via email): Thursdays 12:30 PM (Will start 04/18 Since Sponsor is unavailable until then)
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)

Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Have a design for the Cover Stamper (March 21st during the Final Presentation): Work in progress
Risks and Areas of Concern
Sound transmission of the materials
Can the materials be manufactured and pre-cut into stickers?
Portability of the device
Simple design for high volume
Life time of the tape/sticker roll: how long should a roll last? (Will impact the size of the device because of its thickness)
Resources or Information Required but not Available
Work Space
Schedule
Test/Choose the material for the cover that satisfied all the requirements
Decide on the design of the Cover Dispenser/Stamper
CAD and 3D print the components
Build and test the device
Research for design standards related to the device
Update Gantt chart.
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
Budget spent: 0
Remaining budget: $ 3000
Progress on Report and Webpage
