Biomedical Device Components

Catalog description

This course addresses medical device hardware components: electronic and electromechanical circuits and sub-systems that in aggregate perform medical device functionality. Passive/active electronic components include LED emitters, diode circuits, transistor assemblies, operational amplifier configurations, filters, and power supplies. Medical devices such as ventilators, insulin pumps, pacemakers, defibrillators, and IV pumps will provide context for homework assignments and hands-on laboratory exercises.
