| PROJECT DESCRIPTION |
| Aneuvas Technologies, Inc. - Portable Medical Bench |
|
| Aneuvas Technologies Inc. is a small start-up medical company located in Flagstaff, AZ that focuses on improving human healthcare through novel microcatheter-based medical devices for delivery to the blood vessels in the brain, specifically for treatment of aneurysms and other vascular defects. This project is a portable bench to support, protect, and transport the delicate blood flow model of the brain. The bench combines with a cleanroom hood for a sanitary and safe working environment. The objectives of the project include designing a bench capable of having minimal x-ray interference through the countertop surface, strong enough to hold the experimental setup along with the hood, and featuring spill prevention, shock absorption for safe transport, and adequate storage space underneath for storing accessories. This project is of interest to the sponsor because they currently use a school desk that cannot transport the experimental setup, and use a standard cart to transfer only the experimental setup, but not the clean-room hood. This portable bench will provide versatility of getting the blood flow model of the brain to locations necessary for experiments. It will transport the experimental setup and clean-room hood to x-ray machine on the other side of the building. Maintaining the experimental setup sanitation is essential, and with the portable bench, the hood is attached to the top of the bench during transport, decreasing the model exposure to outside contaminants. It is essential that the portable bench provides a surface through which x-ray procedures can take place with minimal interference, making the bench an integral component of the experimental setup. The bench will also double as a portable desk when not in use, which is versatile to the client. The project description provided by the client: "The scope of this project is to design, build, and test a portable bench that can be used with the company’s delicate blood flow model of the brain. The bench must be large enough to contain the delicate experimental setup, allow for stable transport of the setup to adjacent buildings, and be compatible with fluoroscopic imaging of the blood flow model through the bench surface."
