Project Overview:

This project involves the development of a prototype for the ADVIA 1800, a crucial piece of medical equipment used for high-throughput clinical chemistry analysis. The prototype is designed and built as part of the Medical Equipment 2 course, under the supervision of Dr. Eman Ayman, in collaboration with Siemens Healthineers.

Key Features of Our ADVIA 1800 Prototype:

1. Acquisition Pump: Ensures precise sampling.
2. Mixer: Efficiently combines samples and reagents.
3. Light Source & Light Detector: Utilizes a 650 nm laser and a Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) for accurate photometric measurements.
4. Servo Motors: Provides precise movement for sample handling.
5. IR Sensor & Level Detector: Enhances reliability with accurate obstacle and liquid level detection.
6. Result Display System: LCD to display detected concentrations.

Setup and Dependencies:

• Arduino Libraries:
  • Servo.h
  • LiquidCrystal_I2C.h

Installation and Configuration:

1. Arduino Setup:

   • Ensure that you have the Arduino IDE installed on your system.
   • Include the necessary libraries in your Arduino project: Servo.h and LiquidCrystal_I2C.h.

2. Hardware Setup:

   • Connect the necessary components according to the pin connections defined in the code:
     • LDR sensor, laser, relays, servo motors, etc.
   • Verify that the connections match those specified in the code.

Usage:

1. Upload Code:

   • Upload the provided Arduino code to your Arduino board.

2. Serial Monitor:

   • Open the Arduino Serial Monitor to monitor sensor readings and system operations.

3. Functionality:

   • The prototype performs the following operations:
     • Sampling, mixing, and photometric measurements.
     • Calculation of concentrations based on absorbance.
     • Display of concentration results on an LCD screen.

Troubleshooting:

• If you encounter any errors or issues during setup or usage, refer to the provided error codes and check the hardware connections.
• Ensure that the sensors are calibrated and functioning correctly.
