Improving the SmartCompounders total parenteral nutrition compounder

At: SmartCompounders

For my bachelor's assignment, I worked on a machine that compounds total parenteral nutrition into IV bags.

The first prototype of the TPN machine was already made when I started the project so the main aim of my thesis was to improve the design and make the machine more usable for the staff at the pharmacy and increase its ergonomics. At the end a new prototype was created and the machine is now more reliable and ready for user test in the future.
