BMET 112 Electro-Mechanical-Fluidic Devices I
Students, upon successful completion of this course, will be able to utilize the basic concepts to investigate the physics of and the interrelation between electrical, mechanical, fluidic, and optical systems. Students will know the basic components of each system, where in the overall system they occur, and what their function is toward the correct operation of the system.
Hours Weekly
2 hours lecture, 3 hours lab weekly
Course Objectives
- Identify the names and functions of component parts of fluidic, electromechanical, and thermodynamic systems commonly found in biomedical devices.
- Explain the theory of operation of various medical apparatus in terms of component relationships and the basic physics governing their operation.
- Analyze the operation and performance of systems (pneumatic, hydraulic, drive-mechanism, etc.) and understand how they are used in clinical equipment.
- Construct various pneumatic circuits in the lab, verify the correct operation and modify the circuits to accomplish stated requirements.
- Demonstrate the proper and safe use of various medical apparatus (e.g. respirator).
- Calculate physical quantities (pressure, temperature, velocity ratio, power, etc.) using appropriate physical laws relevant to pneumatic systems and/or drive mechanisms.
- Define and demonstrate preventive maintenance procedures with respect to biomedical apparatus.
- State the purpose of regulations imposed upon medical apparatus and identify the major organizations that write and enforce the regulations.
