  1. Modeling and Designing of a Drift-free Biocompatible Pressure Sensor for use in Long Term In-Vivo Testing Sagar Nadimpalli NSF REU 2010 - 7.29.2010 Bioengineering University of Illinois at Chicago

  3. Introduction / Background • Pressure build-ups or drops in our bodies can influence the blood flow going through the body • Specific delicate situations / regions are: • CSF [Brain] • Glaucoma [Eye (build-up of pressure in this region)] • It has been known through various research and modeling with blood mechanics that pressure drops are directly proportional with blood flow4 • If pressure is not detected and monitored carefully • Blood flow to that region would be reduced • With this in mind, a pressure drop of about 10 Torr for any patient can be means for dealing with a medical situation as a result of this change Images Courtesy of: • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_hemorrhage • http://biomed.brown.edu/Courses/BI108/2006-108websites/group02glaucoma/glaucoma.html Sagar Nadimpalli REU 2010

  5. Objectives • To design and test a drift-free biocompatible pressure sensor which measures small variations in applied pressure • Can be used for further experimentation as pressure monitoring in various parts of the body (eye for example) • Potential for monitoring the CSF variations through pressure monitoring at the brain • Three specific tests were performed so far to understand the pressure sensor’s abilities for the body • Impedance variations during pressure change and change of salt concentrations • Conductivity variations during pressure change • Modeling/Simulation of the pressure sensor design and materials through COMSOL Sagar Nadimpalli REU 2010

  6. Design of the Pressure Sensor Prototype: Materials • Mylar film to create the sensor region • Two electrodes • Composed of primarily titanium and having a mixture of the following • Aluminum (6%) • Vanadium (4%) • LDPE (low density polyethylene) tubes • 30 cm in length for the center tube • 4 cm in length for the part covering each electrode • Injected with approx. 0.135 mL of BSS (Balanced Salt Solution) when sensor is ready Sagar Nadimpalli REU 2010

  7. Design of the Pressure Sensor Prototype: Materials • All these materials are considered biocompatible for use2 Sagar Nadimpalli REU 2010

  8. Experimental Setup Design • Pressure Chamber • Impedance Analyzer • Pressure Gauge • Container • Aquarium Pump • Pressure flow switch Sagar Nadimpalli REU 2010

  15. Future Goals • Run additional simulations regarding the mechanical properties of the biocompatible materials being considered for the upcoming prototypes through COMSOL • Make further data runs to better support the current and potential future prototypes of pressure sensor implants • Prepare a batch that after having successfully accomplished the safety guidelines for both the properties on an engineered design level and for medical use (research studies through in-vivo usage) Sagar Nadimpalli REU 2010
