MRI Infusion Pump Ryan Augustine Megan Buroker Tim Eng Nate Gaeckle Gordy Lawrence Christine Weisshaar Background Information Magnetic Resonance Imaging Protons from water molecules Gadolinium (contrast) controls the water molecules Saline flushes Bolus vs. Infusion Spectris Solaris Wastes Gadolinium and Saline Unable to supply different flow rates while in use Creates a large gap between bolus and infusion Images Product Requirements No Ferrous Metals can be exposed Must supply a flow rate between .25 mL/s and 5 mL/s Control with ease Change infusion flow rates Computer software Maintain sterility Move on to infusion immediately after bolus Decrease waste of Gadolinium and Saline Reliability 2-3 protocols per day Daily Usage Proposed Design Finger Pump Fingers oscillate to transport fluids Operated by a camshaft or solenoid Easy to keep sterile Gear Pump Simple mechanism Gears rotate to transport fluids Difficult to maintain sterility Peristaltic Pump Motor rotates segments that move fluids Creates a vacuum Easy to keep sterile Proved itself in medical applications Motor Bell-type armature motor Non-ferrous Symmetrically balanced permanent magnet Speed linearly proportional to voltage Problems and Future Considerations Magnetic shielding for servo motors MuShield Calculations for desired operation Torque needed by motor Diameter of tubing Properties of the two fluids Alternatives Motor Driven Pump Often contains metal material Cannot be next to scanner Dielastic Actuators Malleable capacitors Elongates ? used to propel gears New, not on market Our Solution Stand: Holds standard size bags of saline and contrast at top Pump attaches to bag Tubing attaches to pump Come together with a Y connector Both fluids flow to patient The Pump… Peristaltic Pump Aluminum or titanium rollers Rollers propelled by gears Gears driven by pressure acting as motor Air, Water, Nitrogen, Oxygen, CO2 Broader View: Problems MRI interference Running cables from control room Safety of
