The pandemic has caused a global electronic engineering and test manufacturing need for reliable and high quality ventilators. First responders, doctors, and nurses are truly amazing superheroes making the world safer for us all. While we are not heroes, Intrinsic Quality is proud to be part of the solution. We have recently finished our participation in a program to test ventilators which have been in great demand in many hospitals.
When you are tasked with building something as important as ventilators, you need to make sure the test equipment is robust and capable enough to do the task. This is the response IQ brings to all of our projects regardless of how newsworthy they may be.
Intrinsic Quality was proud to provide Essential Functional Test for Ventilator Controller board for a major CEM this month. Complete operation of the ventilator control board was designed with the integration of a Fluke DMM and a Keysight Power Supply. IQ provided additional design elements to the fixture as well as smooth interface wiring to the bed of nails fixture with the additional feature of wireless remote pins for testing.
The CEM’s software was also integrated to test inspratory time, pause and flow rates. Tidal volume and pressures were also part of the function testing to analyze the full range of oxygen cycle for inspiratory and expiratory volumes. The controller board analysis also included various pressure and flow triggers for adult, paediatric, and neonatal patients.
The IQ Bed of Nails Fixture was designed for efficient controller board interchange. The autolock fixture lid provided a secure and seamless transition for changeover to the next controller board or DUT. The CEM firmware automatically recognized each new board under test and signal levels were automatically verified and set up. Normal changeover operation was automatic, as the system read both the fixture and DUT identifications. The PC keyboard and monitor are readily accessible for programming and maintenance by the test engineer.
Each Intrinsic Quality tester is built on a sturdy wheeled cart for effortless transport to another manufacturing floor location. The cart holds two cabinet drawers with front or rear sliders for computers, power conditioners, pneumatic controls, or other components through four access door panels. The addition of new boards, devices or firmware is easily accomplished, as the manufacturing floor adapts to future needs.
Intrinsic Quality is ready to provide Functional and ICT Electronics Test Engineering for your manufacturing needs. We also provide Flash Device Programming as well as Robotics Testing. Please contact IQ today at 847-258-5598 or visit us at IntrinsicQuality.com
