Preliminary Engineering Specifications

Intended initial use

Operator-controlled wellness and research platform. No disease-treatment claims are included in this specification.

Configuration

Stationary whole-body bed with separate control console or integrated operator interface.

Target envelope

Approximately 84 in L × 34 in W × 24 in H; final dimensions subject to ergonomics, coil geometry, and service access.

User capacity & surface

Design target up to 350 lb, subject to structural verification and safety factor. Nonconductive, cleanable, replaceable comfort layer with ventilation and thermal isolation.

Architecture

Multi-zone coil array intended to support controlled whole-body or selected-zone field delivery.

Waveform & frequency

Programmable waveform generation; supported waveform types and harmonic limits selected after feasibility testing. Engineering team to recommend a safe, stable, measurable operating range; initial concept requires 15 configurable program slots.

Output control

Closed-loop current monitoring, repeatable amplitude control, and independent calibration records.

Field mapping

Document field strength, uniformity, spatial distribution, repeatability, and emissions across the usable surface.

Electrical & thermal

Prototype target: standard U.S. 120 VAC, 60 Hz. Isolated power conversion with protected low-voltage control electronics and separately managed coil-drive stage. Temperature sensors at coil, electronics, and user-contact zones with automatic derating and shutdown. Overcurrent, overvoltage, ground-fault, leakage-current, and abnormal-temperature protection. Modular assemblies with keyed connectors and documented replacement procedures.

Control system

Large, high-contrast touchscreen or sealed control panel readable from the operator position. Fifteen named preset slots with controlled frequency, intensity, waveform, zone, and duration parameters. Proposed selectable duration of 5–60 minutes with countdown, pause, and controlled stop. Operator login, administrator permissions, and protected engineering/service mode. Optional research mode with bounded parameter entry, audit trail, and configurable safety limits.

Safety & human factors

Physical latching emergency stop with documented safe-state shutdown. Interlocks preventing operation with open panels, hardware faults, or failed sensor checks. On-screen contraindication acknowledgment defined with medical and regulatory advisors. Clear start/pause/stop behavior, visible system state, audible and visual alerts. Formal hazard analysis covering electrical, thermal, mechanical, electromagnetic, and foreseeable-use risks.

Software & data

Session record: timestamp, operator, program, commanded parameters, measured output, duration, interruptions, faults. Local encrypted storage with configurable export; cloud connectivity optional and disabled by default in early prototypes. Signed firmware updates with version history and rollback. No personal health data in the initial prototype absent a defined privacy and cybersecurity program. Power-on self-test, sensor validation, fault codes, calibration status, service log.

Prototype verification

Bench testing (electrical safety, thermal rise, continuous operation, output stability, fault response) · calibrated field characterization across frequency, intensity, zone, load, and temperature · EMC pre-compliance before design freeze · mechanical testing (static load, stability, transport, durability, cleaning compatibility) · human-factors observation.

Required deliverables

Approved requirements matrix with traceability · design package (architecture, schematics, drawings, software description, preliminary BOM) · risk package (hazard analysis, preliminary FMEA, open-risk register) · alpha then beta prototype units · reports: field maps, test results, calibration method, service plan, cost model, design-freeze recommendation.
