Development of Compact Medical Aspirator with IoT Applications

Abstract:

The medical aspirator is a suction device that operates pneumatically (pump). It is an electrically powered machine that is used in hospitals, health care centers and ambulance for a variety of purpose. It is quite heavy, more expensive and serves a variety of functions. The need for a new device necessitates that it should be compact, easily transportable, portable and which can be used for tele-medication. As a result, a medical aspirator is designed with minimum size, weight and portability to mobilized, an aesthetic design, and idea of planning the machine in a shoulder bag, making it easier for nurse and attendants to carry it and treat their patients in a long-term situation. The new design is an optimized variant of the currently available aspirator, as it can perform all functions without any limitation or drawbacks. As a result, the primary goal of the work is to design an aesthetic and compact medical aspirator to serve for the medical treatment.
