Bronchoalveolar Lavage Trap Group 17 Client: Christopher Green, M.D. Dept. of Pediatrics [email protected] (608)263-9608 Team: Laura Zeitler (Team Leader) Kim Kamer (BSAC) Ali Johnson (BWIG) Elise Larson (Communicator) February 13, 2009- February 19, 2009 Problem Statement: In order to diagnose respiratory problems in immunosuppressed patients, bronchoalveolar lavage is used to obtain a bronchiole fluid sample. A bronchoscope is guided through the respiratory tract and wedged into a bronchiole, which is then flushed with saline solution. The solution is then extracted with a vacuum and accumulates in the sterile collection trap. In the current procedural setup, the lavage trap is free-hanging and unstable. Manipulation of the bronchoscope and surrounding movement can displace the trap resulting in loss of sample to the vacuum line. To prevent unnecessary expense and patient inconvenience from sample loss, a new trap needs to be developed. Last Week’s Goals • Meet with advisor to discuss brainstorming ideas • Find an expert in the field of valves/membrane materials to talk to • Continue with research • Generate any other new ideas through individual brainstorming • Start to funnel top ideas and create multiple design matrices Summary of Accomplishments • Met and discussed brainstorming ideas with advisor • Attended Engineering World Health session • Furthered research on materials and feasibility of brainstorming ideas • Created Design Matrix- analyzed results This Week’s Goals • Contact someone in industry and academia that has knowledge about valves • Pick a final design and research materials to order Project Difficulties None this week.Activities Collaboration Group Activities Date Activity Duration 2/13/09 Advisor Meeting and Design Matrix 1.5 hours Team Member Date Activity Duration Elise Larson 2/13/2009 Email Contact, Ebling Material Review/Orders 30 minutes 2/14/2009 Brainstorming 1 hour 2/15/2009 Research and Communication 1 hour Ali Johnson 2/18/2009 Research and Brainstorming 1.5 hrs 2/19/2009 Website 15 minutes 2/13/2009 Mid-semester Presentation Power Point 1 hour Kim Kamer 2/13/2009 BSAC Meeting 45 minutes 2/15/2009 Design Research 1.5 hours 2/13/2009 Mid-semester Presentation Power Point 1 hour 2/12/2009 Engineering World Health Session 1 hour Laura Zeitler 2/18/2009 Progress Report 30min 2/13/2009 Mid-semester Presentation Power Point 1 hour Expenses Date Item Cost Comments N/A N/A 0.00 No Expenses YetProject Schedule Task January February March April May 23 30 6 13 20 27 6 13 20 27 3 10 17 24 1 Project Research and Development Researching Brainstorming Design Matrix/ Cost Estimation Design Selection Ordering Materials Prototyping Testing Final Prototype Deliverables Progress Reports PDS Mid-semester Presentation Mid-semester paper Final Presentation Final Paper Meetings Client Advisor
