In recent years, micro electro-mechanical system (MEMS)-based biomedical devices have been investigated by various researchers for biomedicine, disease diagnosis, and liquid drug delivery. The micropump based devices are of considerable significance for accurate drug delivery and disease diagnosis. In the present study, design aspects of the piezoelectric actuated micropump used for extraction of blood sample are presented. A pentagonal microneedle, which is an integral part of the micropump, was used to extract the blood volume. The blood was then delivered to the biosensor, located in the pump chamber, for diagnosis. The purpose of such low-powered devices is to get sufficient blood volume for the diagnostic purpose at the biosensor located within the pump chamber, with a minimum time of actuation, which will eventually cause less pain. ANSYS® simulations were performed on four quarter piezoelectric bimorph actuator (FQPB) at 2.5 volts. The modal and harmonic analysis were carried out with various load conditions for FQPB. The extended microneedle lengths inside the pump chamber showed improved flow characteristics. Enhanced volume flow rate of 1.256 µL/s was obtained at 22,000 Hz applied frequency at the biosensor location.
