Patient Transfer Device Client: Ashish Mahajan, MD Team Members: Justin Gearing (Leader) Jamon Opgenorth (Communications) Daniel Miller (BSAC) Alex Bloomquist (BWIG) 3/6/09 – 3/13/09 Problem Statement: Currently, patients are transferred by 5-6 workers using a articulating roller, which is designed for a flat bed to flat bed patient transfer. The client would like a jointed roller system that will allow for efficient transfer of patients who are to remain in a sitting up or “crunched” position through the transfer. Design needs to be reliable, lightweight, and compact to fit behind the door of the recovery room. Last Week’s Goals Order ball bearings for testing Order joints and joint materials Cut raw materials down to size Test ball bearings to assure they will work Summary of Accomplishments Ordered ball bearings in order to test and make sure they work Completed Mid-Semester report Began testing ball bearings This Week’s Goals Complete testing of ball bearings Order joints and joint materials Cut raw materials down to size Project Difficulties Flanged bearings not available so we will have to do some experimenting with un-flanged bearings to make sure they will work. Not exactly sure how ball bearings will work with our tubing so we have to buy a sample to test. A lot of manufacturing has yet to be completed. We ordered 1” and 1 and 1/16” ball bearings. So far we tested the 1” and they do not fit in our aluminum pipes. We are planning on trying the bigger ones soon.Name This Week Jamon Opgenorth Mid-Semester, Testing at ECB, 4 hr Justin Gearing Mid-Semester, Testing at ECB, 4.5 hr Dan Miller Mid-Semester, Testing at ECB, 4 hr Alex Bloomquist - Team Cumulative (Hr) Jamon Opgenorth 14 hr Justin Gearing 16 hr Dan Miller 13.5 hr Alex Bloomquist 15 hr Team (Week) - Team (Total) 15 hr Month January February March April May Date 30 6 13 20 27 6 13 20 27 3 10 17 24 1 Product Development Background research Develop design alternatives Select final designs Order parts Construction Testing Presentations Midsemester 3-6 Final 5-1 Deliverables Progress Reports Midsemester Report Final Report 5-8 Meetings Advisor Client
