Outline Problem Statement Background Product Design Specifications Design Alternatives Decision Matrix Future work
3
Problem Statement Seal donated medication bottles Measure the proper dosage Dispense medication Must be inexpensive
4
Background Current Donation Program Goal: To effectively distribute donated medication Viramune® (NNRTI) donated by Boehringer Ingelheim Reduces mother-to-child transmission by 50% 3 2
5
Background Current dispensing method Method Syringe inserted into bottle Dose drawn up Syringe capped, put in foil pouch Problems Expensive Can spill while dispensing Open to air (spoilage/contamination) Must have multiple parts present
6
Product Design Specifications Must dispense at least 4000 doses Must be produced in quantities of 2000 Must be manufactured for $2/device Goal of 50¢/device Must dispense.6mL ±.05mL Materials must not react with medication
7
Advantages Cheap Easy to manufacture Low maintenance Disadvantages Low accuracy May not be applicable for all bottle types Positive Pressure Device
8
“Liquid Pour” Spout Advantages Very easy to use Can be formatted for all bottle types Disadvantages Expensive Hard to manufacture Low accuracy One dose always exposed 4
