2020-2021: In collaboration with Instrumentation Laboratory (IL), this student team designed a thermoregulatory ventilation system for the next generation ROTEM instrument. The ROTEM devices are point-of-care instruments that measure the viscoelastic properties of blood during coagulation. The goal of this…
Design of a Next Generation Patient Blood Management Analysis System
Design for Extended, On-board HemosIL Reagent Stability in the ACL TOP Family of Instruments
2018-2019: In collaboration with Instrumentation Laboratory (IL), this student team designed a solution to improve stability times of reagents within the existing ACL TOP hemostasis instruments. Hemostasis analyzers are used to diagnose blood-related diseases by using patient blood plasma samples…
Design of a New Device to Mix Clinical Samples for Blood Gas Analysis
2017-2018: In collaboration with Instrumentation Laboratory (IL) and as a continuation project, this student team designed a blood sample mixing device for use prior to analysis in IL’s blood gas analyzer devices. Existing approaches for mixing blood samples are subjective,…
Design of a Novel Method of Mixing Clinical Samples for Blood Gas Analysis
2016-2017: In collaboration with Instrumentation Laboratory (IL), this student team designed a blood sample mixing method prior to analysis in IL’s blood gas analyzer devices. Existing approaches for mixing blood samples are subjective, potentially leading to inconsistent mixing, pre-analytic error,…
