LED surgical lights-the latest trend of the shadowless lamp

Shadowless lamp is operating the most important medical equipment, medical staff, through the use of the shadowless lamp in patients undergoing fertilization parts no shadow lighting purposes, to help the doctor clearly distinguished focus tissue, successfully completing the operation.

At present, most of the hospitals in the country are using traditional overall reflection shadowless lamp, with its typically use a halogen light source also commonly known as halogen lamp, but from this year's domestic and foreign major medical equipment exhibition, including Germany, Dusseldorf medical equipment exhibition (Medica) and Beijing International medical equipment fair (China Med), shadowless lamp manufacturers have launched their new flagship LED the shadowless lamp product, the show could hardly find halogen lamp, LED the shadowless lamp replacement halogen lamp has become an irresistible trend.

Relative to the halogen lamp, LED the shadowless lamp uses a new technology platform, it is accompanied by LED technology continues to mature and, now LED by chip design and packaging technology has been able to fully meet the shadowless lamp in illuminance and color index requirements, while LED also has a long life, environmental protection, low energy consumption of benefits, in line with the current hospital overall green lighting requirements, in addition, the spectral distribution of the led light source also determines its ideal as the light source the shadowless lamp operation.

Long service life

Overall reflection shadowless lamp usually use halogen bulb, their average life expectancy is only 1000 hours, more expensive metal halide bulb life is only 3000 hours or so, this makes the overall reflection shadowless lamp bulbs need replacement as consumables.

And LED the shadowless lamp, LED lamp, average service life reach 20000 hours, even days 10 hours, or 8 years of trouble-free use, basic without worrying about the replacement of the lamp.

Green environmental protection

Mercury is a highly polluting heavy metal, 1 mg of mercury to 5000 kg of water pollution, in various specifications of the halogen bulb and metal halide lamp bulb, mercury content from a few milligrams to dozens of mg, coupled with its short life, for a period of time will have a large number of possible and accumulation of serious pollution to the environment of medical waste products to hospitals in post processing than the big bother.

The led bulb of component materials including solid-state semiconductor, epoxy resin and a small amount of metal that is non-toxic, non-polluting materials, in its long after the end of life can also be recycled. In the current environment protection and more emphasis on age, two-phase comparison, LED the shadowless lamp will undoubtedly become the era of the new selection.

Low emissivity low energy consumption, conducive to Postoperative wound recovery

Whether using incandescent light emitting principle of halogen bulb or using high pressure gas discharge principle of metal halide bulb, its luminous process with large amounts of heat, at the same time produce a large volume of infrared and ultraviolet radiation, heat energy and not only increased the unnecessary energy consumption, back surgery has brought many adverse effects.

Cumulative effect of a large number of thermal energy will include light bulb lamp holder within the device's own life, and which would endanger the security of the internal lamp holder. And radiation will arrive with visible light, surgical wounds of a large number of infrared rays cause wound tissue rapid warming and drying, dehydration and damaged tissues and cells; large amounts of UV are direct damage and kill the exposed tissue cells, eventually resulting in postoperative recovery time greatly extended. The LED light principle is to use injected current drive carrier through a combination of p-n junction and the hole and the extra energy to release the energy forms, this is a gentle process, almost all power into visible light, and no excess heat produced, but also in its spectral distribution, only contain a small amount of infrared and ultraviolet radiation, so do not exist will not give the organization in patients with wound damage, cancer doctors won't because head temperature rise too high and discomfort.

At present the domestic manufacturers, due to the technical bottlenecks using LED light source.

It is understood that focus on operating room and ICU total solution of Beijing friendship on company pioneered with led light source, has recently launched a high grade LED the shadowless lamp, may thereafter will lead the domestic operation a new era of lighting.

Now our system of positioning accuracy further improves the leading position in the market. Our goal is to adopt RFID technology to meet the highest visual resolution. Imagine if we can do at the level of visibility, the beds are able to identify who, when and in what we do, the effect will be. ”

Treatment of atrial fibrillation: magnetic resonance imaging to help forecast

Researchers have developed a method based on magnetic resonance imaging of the new therapy for the detection and assessment has undergone a treatment of patients with atrial fibrillation in the left atrium wall.

Atrial fibrillation is a type of abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia). Currently effective in the treatment of atrial fibrillation is RF current ablation therapy: a mild painless current PLEI removed carefully selected heart muscle cells to prevent the transmission of these muscle cells stimulated additional ECG.

To date, there is no accurate non-intervention approach can be used to accurately assess the scars left atrium, in charge of research about Nassir F. Marrouche, we have developed a novel method of magnetic resonance technology to detect and assess the scope of the scars of the left atrium and potential to predict RF current ablation is successful.

The study's researchers have developed a technique without intervention, called delay increases cardiovascular magnetic resonance, the technology used by people with atrial fibrillation patients left atrial RF current ablation therapy before and after the creation of 3-dimensional image.

This harm organizations rebuild model can rebuild RF current ablation therapy in RF energy is applied to the relevant area and, therefore, can reflect on the scar tissue. The researchers also found that the left atrium wall surgery damage ratio lower patients more likely to avoid arrhythmia, and recommended that the size of the SCAR and the surgery was successful linkages between.

The new imaging technology and analysis can help physicians improve RF current ablation therapy program, so that he more readily to identify what is needed to remove the heart muscle cells.

And remove the heart muscle cells will likely reduce the recurrence of atrial fibrillation.

The 3-dimensional magnetic resonance benefit lies in the ability to render full left atrium room wall, Marrouche talked about, and he is safe and non-Interventional so it can be repeatedly used on patients without causing significant risks

New micro-sensor in medical instrument application solutions

1. preface

Today, with intelligent sensor technology picks up probe of respiratory medical monitors have heard, this is an ideal solution for all kinds of emotions and make substantial link between respiratory problems and can be used to the real record of a person's respiratory conditions and changes.

In this article on respiratory monitors with miniature sensor-Silicon Piezoresistive sensor (SPRT) and MAX1450 signal conditioner or MAX1457 formed new intelligent sensors and in function of the technical programme for an analysis and presentation.

2. respiratory medical monitors and smart sensors and technologies (its composition chart, see Figure 1 below)

2.1 respiratory medical monitor (see Figure 1, right)

  

  

The monitor is used to monitor the respiratory status and can give an approximate depth of breathing.

This monitor for monitoring some can be used to evaluate important parameters of anxiety: breathing frequency, breathe evenly and exhale and inhale the intermission between. Calm, positive emotion often leads to exhale is longer than the duration of inhalation, than parameters, can be from one side to reveal human anxiety. Relatively high levels of thoracic breathing (relative to the abdominal breathing) can also be instructions for anxiety. Monitor on chest breathing observation reflects the monitor has a large amount of Visual information.

2.2 intelligent sensor technology

Figure 1 respiratory monitors using silicon Piezoresistive sensor (SPRT — Silicon piezoresistance transducer) detect when you inhale and exhale corresponding pressure reduction and increased.

SPRT output is fed into a MAX1450 signal conditioner or MAX1457, chip or MAX1457 MAX1450 signal conditioner chip and on the incentive to drive SPRT (or current source), the inherent error was SPRT-infeed MAX1450 or after and correction MAX1457, then after compensation voltage signal fed with 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) MAX1202. ADC output (digital pressure signals) into a PC interface MAX3232, and converted to RS-232 level. Last signal is passed to the PC system, so that you can demonstrate respiratory waveform, and on the above mentioned parameters for analysis.

3. about Silicon Piezoresistive sensor (SPRT)

3.1 Silicon Piezoresistive sensor detection principle (SPRT)

Silicon Piezoresistive sensor typically configured as a close Wheatstone bridge.

When there is pressure sensitive to the SPRT bridge arm (as shown in Figure 2a), diagonal leg resistance value of R is the same as the direction, will take place the same amount of change, i.e. R + R and R-△ △ R. When a diagonal leg two resistance in the pressure increases, the other diagonal leg of resistance values, and vice versa. For SPRT half sensitive bridge (see fig. 2b), only half-arm resistance value changes. Whether it is a full-bridge or half-sensitive bridge sensor with high sensitivity (> 10mv/v), good linear, temperature stability and no signal hysteresis, etc., the measuring range can be from destructive limit.

  

  

3.2 Silicon Piezoresistive sensor applications

Today, thanks to the new IC technology has been able to accurately calibrate SPRT, Silicon Piezoresistive sensor applications range from the low precision inspection extends to the high-end segment.

Makes up for in the past, SPRT typically can only be used in low-precision detection and on high-end products to use expensive strain gauges, etc. But to apply Silicon Piezoresistive sensor must resolve error compensation-calibration technology to increase the precision. To do this, first and foremost with Silicon Piezoresistive sensor error for analysis.

4. about Silicon Piezoresistive sensor (SPRT) error

Calibration SPRT sensor main difficulty lies in the fact that their scope is very wide margin of error, a different process for the production of SPRT sensors have different types of errors and error range.

Even from the same manufacturer of same type sensor margin of error, there are slight differences. SPRT sensor error factors include: full partial signal with temperature variations strongly nonlinear (up to 1% oK); a large initial offset (up to 100 per cent of the full rate or higher) and offset drift over temperature strongly. To a certain extent, these defects can be compensated by the electronic circuit.

Temperature, Figure 2 (a) (b) as shown in the two types SPRT bridge resistance (between the Vcc and the equivalent resistance) to very wide pressure range remains fairly constant, however, with increasing temperature, bridge resistance increased significantly, driven by a constant current source if bridge, the bridge voltage (means the Vcc and ground between equivalent resistance and constant current source output current of the product) is incremented.

When the bridge voltage as the temperature increases, the SPRT sensitivity is increased. On the other hand, if you keep the bridge voltage constant, SPRT pressure sensitivity also increases with temperature. Therefore, the pressure sensitivity by SPRT two competing factors: temperature and the temperature of the bridge voltage. This bridge resistance or bridge voltage changes can he modern signal conditioning circuits IC utilized to correct SPRT sensitivity in the temperature range of error. It is worth mentioning that this type of signal conditioning circuits IC through bridge resistance changes to correct sensitivity with temperature changes. According to the main SPRT error analysis of the factors that will be targeted for correction and compensation. The following are currently used traditional correction and modern correction and simplify compensation method for introduction.

5. traditional correction method

 

Figure 3 circuit as legacy correction scheme

  

  

It can compensate for SPRT precision to the appropriate level, and can SPRT disorders, disorders of temperature drift (OFFSETTC) and SPRT sensitivity adjust temperature drift.

The sensitivity of the SPRT temperature drift is associated with a partial Elm (FSO) temperature drift, the two parameters (SPRT sensitivity temperature drift and full partial Yu-out temperature drift) is proportional to the temperature characteristics of interoperability, circuit nulling resistor Rjz to compensate sensor at room temperature for offset voltage, temperature sensitive resistor Rts and Rtz (or R ' tz) temperature error for correction. Mentioned earlier, the bridge resistance increases as the temperature rises, so that sensors both sides voltage Vo Vo +-() have also increased, this increased voltage △ Vo + Vo-makes the sensor's sensitivity is increased, that is, given the pressure it will output a higher voltage.

However, if you maintain a constant voltage sensor, the sensor's sensitivity is increased as the temperature of the lower (or negative sensitivity coefficient), but because the bridge resistance temperature impact increases, it is the sensitivity to variation coefficient is greater than negative sensitivity coefficients, so that full partial output (FSO) tend to increase as temperature increases.

Resistor Rts can temperature rise bypass off part of the bridge circuit current to offset these effects. Similarly, Rtz or R ' tz can offset calibration of drift. Select the Rts or circuit R ' tz depend on direction maladjusted temperature drift.

This traditional correction method has the advantage that the program is simple, cheap, but the main problem is the interaction between the compensation components, so that the calibration is very difficult, and limits can achieve the precision, the calibration nor easy to use electronic adjustment.

6, modern correction-compensation technology

Since the margin of error SPRT range is very wide, and therefore must be used by modern and streamlined compensation method to calibrate.

Current modern correction-compensation technology is a new type of signal conditioning MAX145 chips and combo, SPRT into intelligent sensors and technologies.

Use a signal conditioning MAXl457 IC to drive respiratory monitors Silicon Piezoresistive sensor (SPRT), and calibration sensor errors.

MAXl457 it with one used to drive sensors controlled current source and a bridge for sampling ADC voltage of the sensor (ADC).

MAXl457 also includes a programmable gain amplifier (PGA), is used to enlarge the sensor differential output; and 5 number DAC (digital-to-analog converter), used for the correction of various sensor errors.

Because the sensor output is a weak signal, the output voltage of PGA is not sufficient to drive the ADC. To do this, the built-in amplifier MAXl457 can be used to enhance the PGA's output to an appropriate level.

Because the bridge voltage increases with temperature, the temperature dependency can be used to compensate full partial output (output FSO-Full span) of temperature error.

For constant current source excitation current bridge, full partial output (FSO) decreases as the temperature to rise, resulting in a full partial output temperature related errors (FSOTC). However, if the bridge voltage with the temperature rise to a certain rate, just compensation off full partial sensitivity with temperature drop, full partial output (FSO) will remain constant.

How to use this 6.1MAXl457 method calibration temperature induced full partial output (FSO) errors (see Figure 4).

  

  

First of all, by the ADC to quantify the bridge voltage, depending on the quantitative results, identify an advance meter open okay four correction coefficient (has saved in EEPROM) give FSOTC DAC.

And DAC output voltage on bridge excitation current is adjusted, adjusted excitation current changed the bridge voltage, thus compensating the specific temperature, sensor sensitivity changes caused by full partial output (FSO) error. In order to achieve smooth correction, the bridge voltage is used as the reference input FSOTC DAC, in the adjacent two digital compensation points (from ADC to EEPROM) for simulation of compensation. The same method is used to compensate for misalignment of temperature drift (OFFSETTC), the difference is that the output voltage of OFFSETTC DAC are fed human PGA output sum node (instead of the current source MAX1457).

6.2 on these four temperature correction coefficient calculation step description

First of all, the sensor and the minimum temperature gets MAXl457 at different pressures of sensor data, and then, place the sensors and the highest temperature MAXl457 gets different pressures of sensor data.

Use these limiting temperature point data, designed for MAXl457 designed application software to calculate the four correction factor: full partial output (FSO), full partial output temperature related errors (FSOTC), offset-offset (Offset), disorders of temperature offset (OFFSETTC), these four factors can amend an order error SPRT.

To get the precision of 0.1% MAXl457 allows specific temperature compensation, you only need to provide temperature calculation FSOTC and calibration by the user decides to OFFSETTC point number (up to 120 points).

If the sensor error with good repeatability, SPRT and MAXl457 combination can get better than 0.1% accuracy.

MAXl457 compensation technology relative to figure 3 for the traditional approach has clear advantages.

MAXl457 eliminates compensation interaction between components, which benefited from the independent disorders and full-scale adjustment: disorder in PGA output for compensation,But FSO amendment implementation through the current source. Another benefit is that since for different temperature point for specific amendments, for increased accuracy possible. This approach is essentially better than using external resistors, since the latter failed to point at a specific temperature sensor for precise compensation.

Because the MAX1457 accuracy can be much higher than a respiratory monitors, chose it, mainly because of its internal also contains an additional amplifier, you can breath monitoring instrument sensors to zoom in on low level signal.

Because the monitor can MAX1457 work in a wide temperature range, SPRT and MAX1457 combination applied for superior accuracy, it can be applied to space exploration and diving apparatus, etc.

7. practical simplify correction scheme

Because of the precision MAX1457 can be much higher than a respiratory monitors, so there is no need to use 16-bit resolution DAC.

Usually adopts MAX1450 signal conditioner for simplified school compensation programme (see Figure 5).

  

  

7.1MAX1450 signal conditioner functions the same as the nature and the MAX1457 is replaced with resistance to error correction DAC.

Than by MAX1450 MAX1457 considerably less precision calibration point, which is 1%.

Is usually used for a mixed programme, the programme will MAX1450 and laser trimming resistor (Figure 5 shows the external trimming resistor) combination provides a low cost solution, which uses MAX1450 signal conditioner with external laser trimming resistor provides 1% accuracy. Adjusted Figure 5 RFSOA trimming resistor is used to set the initial (FSO) sensitivity and offset temperature drift compensation (OFFSETTC) is through ROFFA and fine tune the resistance adjustment ROTCA.

8. concluding remarks

Due to the new signal conditioner IC technology, have been able to accurately calibrate SPRT error, Piezoresistive sensor in addition to the application in the medical field, you can expand into other areas of industrial safety as well as military and other high-end products.

This from the above several designs that, by applying Silicon Piezoresistive sensor (SPRT) and MAX1450, MAX1457, signal conditioner chip consisting of smart sensors enable research and development of new types of respiratory monitors with high accuracy, low cost, sophisticated features, also demonstrated in the high end without requiring expensive strain gage's vision is achievable.

According to initial use, the new silicon Piezoresistive sensor (SPRT) and MAX1450, MAX1457, signal conditioner chip consisting of smart sensors enable research and development of new types of respiratory monitors after medical institutions and integrity index (mental status changes trigger physiological change detection) verification instrument in recruitment and assessment of the trial, the effect is good.

Especially in the diagnosis and treatment in the hospital so that doctors on patient's respiratory and cardiopulmonary status of testing, not only features strong and indicators have greatly improved accuracy, according to numerous trial, its qualitative (PC monitor) and quantitative (digital recorder) measurement results for doctors determine symptoms have completely more scientific basis.
