NEO MED PERFUSION SYSTEM

CristhianSerrano FCV Project

The FCV The FCV (Fundacion cardiovascular de Colombia) is one of the most important clinics in Colombia, focused in Health services and Medical Product development. Founded in 1986 the FCV has several branches in cities like Bucaramanga, Santa Marta, Manizales and Ibague; is the only clinic in Colombia who has developed several strategic business units, covering the health business from marketing to telemedicine.

CristhianSerrano FCV Project

What is a Perfusion Pump? It is an electronic device used to infuse certain drugs to a very precise speed rate in a very precise amount. The way the pump works is basically the same with slight changes depending of the pumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brand.

CristhianSerrano FCV Project

Problem

How can we infuse three different drugs into the neonate in a simple but effective system that can be taken anywhere inside the hospital?

Project Requirements:

2.The system must have

CristhianSerrano FCV Project

3 hours of electrical independency.

1. The system should receive

a maximum of three Perfusion pumps specified by the FCV.

3. The system should be controlled only by a touch screen computer.

6. The system should be easy

4. The system should be easy

to transport.

to clean.

5. The system should be able

to join to the new mobile intensive care unit for neonates ( in developing)

CristhianSerrano FCV Project

The Context. Characteristics

• Nurses are always in surveillance paying attention to something irregular or alarms from the devices.

• Intensive care Units are very stressful places, but at the same time very quiet at times.

• Space is very important and should be optimized to ease the job and allow as many devices as possible, depending of the situation of every neonate.

• There are medical equipment everywhere, lots of cables an columns to put pumps and several other devices. • Cleanness is extremely important, everything must stay clean to avoid bacteries and viruses.

• All the devices are constantly in use by nurses and doctors and when something it’s not working properly they need to call technical assistance.

Concept Refinement The next step after evaluating the concepts and deciding the most convenient elements in each of them, is to make a 3D model that gathers all these elements in a single concept.â&#x20AC;&#x2039;

CristhianSerrano Miau! Ironing Board

M I A U ! IRONING BOARD

CristhianSerrano Miau! Ironing Board

Userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs

Most part of the project requirements were taken from the needs detected from a users poll.The main purpose of this poll was to know how the people relate to the activity (ironing), do they love ironing? Do the hate it? Why? If they could change something in the way they usually iron their clothes, what will it be? What kindg of new features would they like to find in their next ironing board?.

3.The ironing table must be wider.

the table is too narrow. Ironing on this kind of surface only makes everything more difficult!â&#x20AC;&#x2039;

1.The ironing table must ease the process of ironing

4.It will be nice if...

sides you have to spend time pulling out the table and setting it up!!

-The table has music, maybe a radio or a music player!

Ironing is such a complicated task, the garments seem to never fit right in the table, be-

-The table has its own power source

-The table has some sort of fan, it can be very handy when you are ironing

2.The ironing table must be stable

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like ironing cause the table is always so unstable, the whole table moves during the ironing which could be dangerous, once my iron fell down a cause of this...

CristhianSerrano Miau! Ironing Board The first step in the project is to to identify the different ways to aproach the problemto learn from their weak-

Then we interviewed the users to f find out how they use

nesses and strengths , Furthermore to identify an unat-

ironing boards, what problems do they have with this kind

tended market niche

of products? How is their relationship with the product? What features they would like to find in the next ironing board? And which will be the best approach to develop a new product?

Design Process

materials. In this stage, every part of the final product must have their corresponding blueprints.

With the information gathered from previous phases, the creative process begins by trying different approches in order to evaluate which will be the one that best suits to users

At this point the selected concept is taken to be improved in different aspects such as aesthetics , functionality, costs, etc.

Concept rethink

CristhianSerrano Miau! Ironing Board

The project should be focus in a way to make the ironing board as simple as possible, providing a solution according to the userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main needs; but soon it become obvious that the previous userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bad experiences will be a very important factor to the way the product is perceived.

Current Reaction

Desired Reaction

Oh, an ironing board....

Oh, a piece of art....

(...I once burnt myself ironing

(...I used to paint when i was little

...I once dropped my iron and get it

...how much color and energy

ruined

...I love the way i feel when i look at it)

...Ironing takes so much time) i really hate ironing, but i have to do it...

i really love to have this in my room...

CristhianSerrano Miau! Ironing Board

Base Concept

The new concept consists in a simpler wall mounted structure, this structure has a graphic artwork in the back of the ironing surface. This artwork will be visible when the ironing board is lifted.â&#x20AC;&#x2039;The surface is able to rotate for a better adaptation to small spaces, notice how the leg is embedded into the surface.

CristhianSerrano Miau! Ironing Board

Aesthetic approach With the aim of making the product more dynamic the surface is turned into a cartoon character, also the wall support is simplified to use the tableâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own weight to lock itself into the storage position, i.e. when being collapsed up.â&#x20AC;&#x2039; Cartoon character

This concept is then presented to users in order to find more elements to improve and to evaluate their overall reaction to the cat concept.â&#x20AC;&#x2039;

CristhianSerrano Miau! Ironing Board

Concept adjust

After evaluating the information gathered in the concept test, some attributes are modified. The iron support was simplified and the overall design of the illustration character is friendlier now. These are the final changes to the product before being manufactured.â&#x20AC;&#x2039;

Backing Surface: Laminated wood (2 halves) Exterior surface: Printed Laminated wood (2 halves) Rotation Axis: Steel pipe Iron insulator: Painted steel

Leg: Metal Pipe

Iron Support : Laminated Wood

Manufacturability The different adjustments made to the concept lead now to the manufacturability phase, where materials and fabrication processes are defined. Finally, 150 units should be produced at a price of approximately $50 to be a profitable business.â&#x20AC;&#x2039;

Funny cartoon character design

2. Quick access, just pull down the board

The Final Concept:Miau! The final concept gathers the entire process of this project and its final proposal. The main attempt of the product is to offer more comfortable conditions to the users,including increasing stability, a wider space to iron, a better support for the iron and a quick and ease way to use. In addition, the product offers a decorative design that has no other intention than put a smile on the face of those who look or use the final product.

3. The leg will come down by itself

Curtiembres del Valle Curtiembres del valle is a company from Santander, its main activity is focused on leather tannery, being the company a family business now in its third generation. The company focused its production in vegetable leather and all their processes are eco friendly what has made the company one of the most important tanneries of Santander.

CristhianSerrano Endal

What is Vegetable Leather? Vegetable leather is leather tanned using vegetable components instead of mineral ones (chrome), the vegetable leather is characterized for being less pollutant in its fabrication process and having a great old texture on the final product.

CristhianSerrano Endal

User’s needs.

1.Ergonomics

4.Genders

The pet’s ergonomics should be the main design factor to have into account

The product line must have products and textures for both genders.

2.Harnesses

5.Breeds

The products line must have dog’s harnesses.

The products must try to be as versatile as possible, fitting in different dog breeds.

3.Collars

6.Sizes

The products line must have dog’s collars.

Even when the most popular breeds are small, within a breed there are several sizes.
