Bio-Medical Electronics Lab
Courses: ELE 439L Room Number: ERB 09 Lab Instructor: Mr. M.R.Narayanan Lab Director: Dr. Hasan Al-Nashash

Lab Description
This lab is primarily used for teaching medical instrumentation, carrying out class and design projects and conducting research in biomedical instrumentation. It contains computers, high resolution data acquisition systems together with appropriate software (Matlab, Biobench, Labview), bioamplifiers, isolation amplifiers, programmable filter, ECG multiparameter patient simulator, electrical safety analyzer, spectrophotometer, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) training kit, ultrasound flow meter, ultrasonic transceiver and a printer. It is also equipped with basic test and measuring instruments like digital multimeters, digital storage oscilloscopes, DC power supplies, function generators, digital stopwatches and breadboards.

The lab is used to conduct a wide range of experiments in medical electronics, such as measurement of biopotentials (such as ECG, EEG, EMG), temperature measurements, blood pressure measurements, heart and respiratory rate measurements, medical signal and image processing, NMR and spectrophotometry, electrical safety of medical equipment and data acquisition and signal processing.

The lab is also used to conduct research on fetal ECG extraction, early detection of cortical injury after cardiac arrest, monitoring of bone fracture healing process and brain computer interface. In addition to the scheduled undergraduate students’ laboratory, this lab can also be used to train engineers and technicians on medical electronics applications especially in the fields of medical instrumentation and signal processing. The lab can provide facilities for testing electrical safety of medical equipment and calibration of ECG; temperature and blood pressure equipment.
