Aufbau und Evaluation einer automatischen Verifikationsplattform für medizinische Elektronikkomponenten

The present thesis deals with the development and evaluation of an automatic verification platform for medical electronic components. After the analysis of the requirements a test environment can be created according to the V–model, which will subsequently be verified. This verification process will be conducted by the Monitor Interface Board (MIB). The MIB is a circuit board that exchanges information between users and the dialysis machine NDS. Following the verification, the validation of the test environment is conducted to ensure that the stated requirements have been met.

The result of this thesis is a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) software framework (IBM RQM, NI TestStand, NI LabVIEW), which examines functional specifications, based on the demands / requirements of the DUT (device under test). The HiL Software Framework incorporates real hardware components in a virtually simulated environment and achieves a seamless/consistent traceability, from the requirements to the implemented LabVIEW test case. In order to simulate the real system environments in the best possible way, the knowledge of all the input and output signals of the DUT is necessary for the preparation of this HiL test system. By using this HiL test system, functional testing of components can be performed without having to integrate the component into the complete system of the dialysis machine.
