Title:

Mobile IV Manufacturing

Mobile Intravenous Systems (MIVS) is a company based out of Phoenix, Arizona which specializes in transforming the quality of health care through innovative I.V. products that save time, reduce risk, and improve patient outcomes. A fluid bag is first inserted into the pressure sleeve. A 12-gram CO2 cartridge is then inserted into the pressure regulator which applies an initial pressure of 850 psi. The regulator reduces the pressure from 850 psi supplied from the cartridge to a constant 6 psi into the bag. With a constant pressure of 6 psi being applied into the pressure sleeve, this allows for the fluid to maintain a constant drip rate to the patients without having to be elevated. Currently each system is hand-built which does not keep up with the demand. To fix this issue, our senior project team was tasked to develop a system to mass produce the end cap and CO2 cartridge assembly. The goal for our project team is to design and analyze a gas cartridge and thread spacer installation machine. The machine should be scalable to produce at least ten CO2 cartridge assemblies per pressure sleeve. The final design should be precise, operator-friendly, serviceable, cost-effective and reliable.
