Introduction
Project Summary

Develop a safe and cost-effective solution that will improve efficiency and fluid capacity of
the RenovaRP Paracentesis Management System, while also implementing system-
specific elements.
Feasibility Criteria (modular approach)
● Maintain current function
● Maintain patient and user safety

● Minimize interactions with the

system
● Prevent bag overflow

● Implement system specific

components to reduce competition
Merit Criteria (modular approach)

Fluid Flow
Process
Fluid moves from
patient to
machine to first
drainage bag
Once fluid level
reaches 1.4L,
check valve
opens Fluid begins
filling next bag
until Cracking
Pressure is
reached Drainage
continues until
desired amount
of fluid is drained
Hanger Subsystem
● Holds drainage bags
● Adaptable for various hospital
equipment
○ Support Hooks
○ Clamps
Hanger Subsystem
● Holds up to 8 bags
● Dimensions
○ 410 mm (16 in) x 618
mm (24 in)
● Reusable
● Portable
Budget

Item Estimated Cost ($)

Electrical Subsystem $85.13
Bag & Tube Subsystem $120.18
Hanger Subsystem $122.17
Total $327.48
Conclusions and Recommendations
● Test check valve accuracy
● Test fluid flow through inlet and outlet tubes
● Test tipping possibilities
● Test consistency of electrical contact when connector is in place

We request permission to proceed with prototyping and

then to deliver this design to the client.
