Product Workflow

Built around programmable infusion and exchange transfusion workflows.

BiliDrop is presented as an engineering development platform for automated fluid handling. The focus is precise syringe displacement, configurable infusion, automated fluid routing, operator visibility, and validation-led design refinement.

Current stage

Prototype development and engineering validation planning

Not marketed as a certified clinical device. Further bench, usability, regulatory, and clinical validation would be required before patient deployment.

1

Parameter setup

The operator configures mode, transfer volume, cycle volume, infusion rate, or treatment duration through the user interface concept.

2

Precision syringe displacement

A stepper-driven syringe mechanism is intended to convert linear plunger movement into known fluid volume transfer.

3

Automated fluid routing

Servo-actuated valve assemblies are planned to route fluid between patient, donor, and waste pathways during exchange workflows.

4

Infusion pump mode

BiliDrop can also be presented as a programmable syringe-pump infusion platform without an exchange cycle.

5

Feedback and validation loop

LCD feedback, encoder input, simulation reports, and prototype reviews support future bench testing and design refinement.
