The *clinical* part bothers me.
Do you mean that you will be using it on humans?
I suggest hiring a Biomedical Engineer.

I have a story about a young, eager physician
doing a pulmonary experiment using a helium mixture
on a Saturday with no one else around.
He survived, but it could have gone very badly.

A little light reading about Pneumatic Solenoid Valves:

I also suggest
that you remove the @Yahoo.com from your user name.
The Google arcive now mungs all email addresses
(especially when you post there)
so that they look like this: geekscos...@yahoo.com.
(I had to make an effort to un-mung it.)
