156A Finals Week

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

• • Sponsored Project Presentation in progress

Accomplishments from Previous Week

• • Comprehended future deliverables from professor 

  • Assigned individual component analysis to each team member

  • Developed a broad idea on individual analysis

  • Finalized risk reduction procedure

  • Participated in risk reduction test on material deformation

  • A meeting with sponsor has been arranged regards to risk reduction agreement

  • Budget form in progress

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

• • Analysis feedbacks from sponsors and professsor

  • Develop future decision for project work done in next quarte

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

• • The first priority is always combining the guiding stylet with the Laryngotracheal into a single device made of bendable material to increase efficiency during the intubation procedure. Worries about the retraction later.

  • Dimension are listed on the bag of existing parts.

  • Both design should be test for consideration

  • Notice the possible reaction between the stylet and medication

  • No need to apply every drop of the anesthesia but most of them.

  • The index code for the budget form will be sent to us by email later.

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

• • Bring physical parts on weekly meeting

  • Material choice consideration: stainless steel 301, and stainless steel 316, look for other option. (Injection mold plastic)

  • Individual component analysis assigned: 1. Material for stylet (David). 2. Spray delivery systems (Jiahao). 3. Anesthesia, including precision, physical properties, and how it will fit onto the tube (Daniel). 4.Luers lock mechanism (Ascher)

  • For presentation, image can be hand drawn but should be color coded for clear introduction. A step-by-step approach should be utilized on introducing the intubation procedure with existing design and optimized design. 

Risks and Areas of Concern

• • Frictions between the L-tube and E-tube, and the friction between the stylet and L-tube.

  • Angle of the tip at certain degree allows to feel the vocal cord

  • Shearing strength of the material

  • Abrasion with intubating tube

  • The maximum radius of bending

  • Softness of the material for protecting soft fragiles

Resources or Information Required but not Available

• • N/A so far.

Schedule

• • Describe upcoming milestone

Perform preliminary hardware and testing for risk reduction regarding material deformation on emphasis. Data collection and discussion for analysis.

• • Update Gantt chart.

Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)

• • N/A
