- 30. Posture Comparison Traditional pipettes Ovation â Clenched Fistâ Increases stress, reducing available hand strength and diminishing productivity Loose, Relaxed Increases available strength in hand, improving endurance and productivity during pipetting
- 31. Posture Comparison Traditional pipettes Ovation Elevated, âWinged Elbowâ Arm/hand elevation exceeding 12â causes stress to the neck and shoulder Close to work surface Arm elevation remains low, minimizing stress to elbow, shoulder and neck
- 32. Posture Comparison Over-rotated Rotation exceeds 90Âș, causing stress to the wrist, hand and elbow. Arm Supinated Neutral, Relaxed Wrist remains in a neutral range of motion throughout all pipetting operations. Arm pronated Traditional pipettes Ovation

- The result of our work, a totally new design platform for pipetting was created. Explain structural elements
- Explain operational elements
- To come: appropriate ergonomic performance data and discussion of physical differences between pipetting with Ovation and competitive axial designed pipettes.
- All this Theory can be tested with modern measurement tools. We performed a study on volunteers to see the results of our new design compared to conventional axial designs. We compared Ovation to four popular Axial pipettes, including two models marketed as âergonomicâ designs. The testing measured the actual muscle activity and postural geometry (twisting etc) used in the pipetting activity and compared this to accepted norms.
- <in progress> . Data and other CTS MSD generally require the most extensive recovery time. In 1996, CTS cases resulted in the highest median number of days away from work for any injury or illness: 25 days for CTS compared to 5 days for all injuries and illnesses combined. That year, more than 57% of lost-workday CTS cases involved more than 20 days away from work, and more than 42% of all lost-workday CTS cases involved more than 30 days away from work. For example, the average per case costs for carpal tunnel syndrome cases are $8,070, which is more than double the $4,000 average per case costs for all other injuries *OSHA STD
