Schematic diagram of main mechanical components

Flow actuators

  • Actuator PCB/overview (link to PCB with BoM, schematic, layout, etc.)

  • Proportional solenoid valve (V1) (link to doc with crit specs, driving circuit, part spec, datasheet, alternatives, etc.)

  • Expiratory valve (V2) (link to doc with crit specs, driving circuit, part spec, datasheet, etc.)

Sensors

  • Sensor PCB/overview (link to PCB with BoM, schematic, layout, etc.)

  • Oxygen sensor (O2S) (link to doc with crit specs, interface circuit, part spec, datasheet, alternatives, etc.)

  • Proximal pressure sensor (PS1)

  • Expiratory pressure sensor (PS2)

  • Expiratory flow sensor (FS1)

Safety Components

  • 50 psi, high pressure relief valve (PRV1)

  • Safety check valve (CV)

  • 70 cmH2O patient-side pressure relief valve (PRV2)

  • Filters (F1, F2)

  • PEEP valve (PEEP) (include the design bifurcation in this module description)

Tubing and Adapters

  • Manifold 1

  • Manifold 2

  • Mounting Bracket 1… etc.

Bill of Materials (need to think about what goes in this table, probably separate BoMs into tables by category, but here’s a sample table)

Description

V1

Inspiratory on/off valve

red hat process valve

completely cut off flow if required

PRV1

High pressure relief valve

Sets to 50 psi

regulates upstream pressure to 50 psi

CV

Inspiratory check valve

valve stat here

In case of emergency power loss, allows patient to continue taking breaths from air

PRV2

Maximum pressure valve

Sets absolute maximum pressure at patient side to 53 cm H2O

F1/F2

Filters

HEPA filters?

Keeps the system’s sensors from becoming contaminated

O2S

Oxygen sensor

Sensiron …

Checks FiO2 level

PS1/PS2

Pressure sensors

mini4v

Uses gas takeoffs to measure pressure at each desired point

FS1

Flow sensor

Sensiron flow sensor

Measures expiratory flow to calculate tidal volume

M1/M2

Manifolds

3D printed parts

Hubs to connect multiple components in one place

V3

Expiratory on/off valve

Festo Electrical Air Directional Control Valve, 3/2 flow, Normally Closed, 8 mm Push-to-Connect

Opens to initiation the expiratory cycle

PEEP

PEEP backpressure valve

PEEP valve

Sets PEEP on expiratory cycle!
