Cheat Sheet Biomedical Instrumentation Exam

This document discusses several topics related to biomedical instrumentation and measurement: 1. It provides equations for calculating common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) and how common mode noise is affected by CMRR and signal roll off. 2. It briefly discusses half-cell potential and the three types of overpotential (ohmic, concentration, activation) that occur when current flows in an electrochemical cell. 3. It mentions the use of glass micro-pipette or micro-wire electrodes for measuring living cells in solution and includes an equation for calculating capacitance between a circuit and instrumentation amplifier input to control a low-pass filter cutoff.

CMRRdB = -20log10(GD/GCM)

Common mode (60 Hz) noise = CMRR * signal / roll off @ f(magnitude of the pole)

35. electrode-electrolyte interface


In the electrolyte anions move towards the interface and Cations move away. In the metal electrons move away.
Conversion from ions to electrons happens at interface. Local changes in charges/ions cause potential difference in the
electrolyte near the metal - half cell potential. Overpotential when current flows EHC changes : 1) Ohmic - resistance of
electrolyte 2) Concentration - current changes ion count 3) activation - energy needed for redox
37. glass micro-pipette or micro-wire electrode and living cell in solution.
(F)
Dielectric constants: free space = 8.854E-12; D and d diameters of cylinder/electrode; L length of shank;
Neg. Cap. Amp. Between ckt and INA to control LPF cutoff
38. Describe the physical origins of the cardiac vector

42. Calculate damping, natural frequency of a typical direct blood pressure catheter measuring system.

43. Relate blood pressure system dynamics to typical features of distortion in the waveform.
Underdamped - peak and min increased, time delay
Overdamped - decreased peak, due to bubble/clot at tip of catheter, big time delay
Catheter whip - low frequency oscillations, prevent with stiff caths
44. Derive the indicator dilution relation

45. Calculate cardiac output
