About Silicon Primary Function: Faiga o le Tuʻuina Atu o Vailaʻau i le Toto
Book Text: O le Silicon o se faiga faʻa-mekaniko-otometi mo le tuʻuina atu o vailaʻau i le toto e pulea ai le saoasaoa o le tafe ma le umi o le taimi o le tuʻuina atu o vailaʻau i le alaʻafu. O loʻo tuʻuina se masini faʻatatau taimi ma se valve e pulea ai le saoasaoa o le tafe i luga ma lalo o le paipa tuʻuina vailaʻau, ina ia mafai ai e le aufaigaluega faʻafomaʻi ona setiina le fua o le toʻulu ma le taimi manaʻomia e aunoa ma se faʻatatauga i le mafaufau. Pe a maeʻa le fua o vailaʻau, e sui le valve i se faiga masima faʻa-tino ma e faʻaauau pea le tuʻiga, lea e faʻaitiitia ai le lamatiaga o mea sesē i taimi pisi. E leai se manaʻoga o le eletise mo le Silicon ma o lea e mafai ai ona tautua atu i vaega e faʻatapulaʻaina ai punaʻoa faʻafomaʻi.
The Recognition
About the A' Design Award Ario
O le A' Design Award Ario na manumalo ai Silicon Primary Function: Faiga o le Tuʻuina Atu o Vailaʻau i le Toto, o se faamaoniga matuā mamalu e tuuina atu i mamanu sili ona lelei, matagofie ma mataʻutia. O ē manumalo i le Ario o galuega susulu tele ma fatufatuaʻi e faaalia ai le poto, le taleni ma le atamai o tagata mamanu. E faamoemoeina Silicon Primary Function: Faiga o le Tuʻuina Atu o Vailaʻau i le Toto e avea ma galuega matagofie, o se fesuiaiga mo isi, e iloga i le tomai faapolofesa ma mea fou loloto. O lenei mamanu na manumalo i le A' Design Award Ario o se mea e iloga, ua mataʻina e aogā ma tuleia atu tapulaʻa o le faatufugaga, saienisi, mamanu ma tekonolosi. Silicon Primary Function: Faiga o le Tuʻuina Atu o Vailaʻau i le Toto o se mea e fiafia i ai le toatele, e fafagu ai manaʻoga, aumaia ai lagona lelei ma tupu ai le ofo.
Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- Silicon is a semi automatic precise infusion solution dosing system, by simple mechanical timer and flow rate valve to improve medical negligence by staff control of flow rate and time of drip medicine, It does not require electricity to replace expensive electronic automatic detection devices, helping resources deprived areas.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Width 110mm x Depth 57mm x Height 302mm
- Tags
- Infusion，Dosing，Automatic，Timing，Control
- Production Technology
- After completing the dosing, the internal structure of the upper drug timer and the lower timing flow rate valve will drive the aperture flow rate valve to switch to the physiological saline mode, open the physiological saline hole, and continue to inject into the patient body to prevent the medical staff from being busy time negligence caused accidents.
- Design Challenge
- This is the third generation design. Each generation of design is more in line with the process sequence, ergonomics, and long term cooperation with the medical team for testing. In order to solve the timing problem, we challenged different structures and methods of calculating the flow rate, and needed to confirm that the drug was completely injected without harming the patient, so this is a difficult challenge.
- Research
- In fact, we interviewed nurses and trainee nurses who are used every day, and learned about the existing intravenous infusion procedures. Therefore, the design and research of the drug timer structure and the timing flow rate valve structure improve the accuracy of intravenous drug injection and make the work of medical staff more convenient and accurate.
- Inspiration
- Through interviews with medical staff, it was found that some medicines need to be injected for about 30 to 60 minutes and the medical staff must mentally calculate the drip flow rate and monitor the drip status back and forth. Not only does it make the medical staff feel stressed, but in the busy peak hours, it is easy for them to forget about patients medical treatment, causing accidents.
Each year, the health care industry creates billions of pounds of waste on average, with the prevalence of disposable medical materials causing a rapid depletion of health care resources and a lot of environmental pollution. - Project Duration
- Silicon development has made great efforts together with medical staff. In a tight year, we realized that this is a daunting challenge and helped medical staff to reduce their hardship.
- Operation Flow
- I.Close the water inlet hole.
II.Put the medicine bottle in place.
III.Adjust the flow rate valve aperture.
IV.Adjust the flow rate valve timer.
V.Adjust the medicament timer.
VI.Attach a special identification label.
Dosing method:
I.Silicone puncture dosing
II.Automatic dosing stand dosing:By pressing the button of the dosing stand, the control structure can fix the medicine bottle in place. The dosing stand contains a needle that can automatically puncture the medicine bottle to achieve automatic dosing. - Team Members
