Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.

• • Finished Risk Reduction process. 

  • Picked Silicone tubing for vein. 

  • Divided task into two “mini” teams to focus on 1) pressure delivery system and 2) skin/flesh manufacturing. 

Accomplishments from Previous Week

• • None yet. During break, we went over the Risk Reduction slides with our sponsor. 

Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.

• • Research pump, fluid mechanics back-end computation (Samantha, Guinevere, Yichen)

  • Asked George for instruction on how they built skin mold (Rahaf). Upon receiving details, will research ways to improve and optimize method (Rahaf and Reem).

Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments

• • Watched doctors and nurses participate in ECMO simulation.

  • Given more supplies and dimensions for veins and arteries.

  • Fixed minor edits on Risk Reduction slides.

Risks and Areas of Concern

• • Time to wait for delivery (2 weeks).

  • Figuring out how to improve the current process for creating the skin mold. 

    • Maintaining vein and artery tube shape while pouring silicon.

    • Quicker than previous method.

Schedule

• • Next week:

    • Continue risk reduction experimentation

    • Finish research into the two sub-topics (blood pressure & skin manufacturing)
