    Study Notes

    Introduction to Medical Instrumentation

    • Medical instruments assess health by relying on specific physiological properties.
    • Initial design steps focus on understanding underlying concepts for health assessment.
    • Requirements formalize the functionalities that medical instruments must achieve to ensure safety and effectiveness.

    Technology Levels in Healthcare Delivery

    • Level 0: Diagnosis and therapy are unassisted by technology (manual).
    • Level 1: Technology aids diagnosis by providing clinically relevant parameters.

    Medical Instrumentation Process

    • Pathology presence leads to functional or anatomical changes in specific organs.
    • Instruments measure variables in different domains influenced by these changes.
    • Noise and artifacts can affect measurements, necessitating robust hardware and software solutions.
    • Clinicians utilize data to determine presence and extent of pathologies.

    Design Considerations for Biomedical Instruments

    • Instruments must include sufficient variables to detect changes accurately.
    • If an instrument is novel, specifications must be heuristically developed and validated within regulatory frameworks.
    • Uncertainty from the instrument must be controlled throughout the medical system.

    Extraction of Physiological Parameters

    • Modifications due to pathology can be directly observed or indirectly estimated.
    • Example: Lung malignancy can be directly observed via imaging (X-ray) or indirectly estimated via respiratory function analyzers.
    • The quantification of modifications is crucial for the instrument's purpose.

    Requirement Management

    • The design team defines performance capabilities of the medical instrument.
    • Clear requirements dictate what the system should achieve and how well it should function.

    Medical Instruments Requirements and Standards

    • Common medical devices have established performance standards, which can streamline the research and design process.
    • Example: AAMI EC 11 provides minimum safety and performance requirements for electrocardiographic (ECG) devices.
    • Compliance with such standards enhances the safety and reliability of medical instrumentation.
