eighth day of attachment
The first thing that i know for the day is that the sp02 probe usually end up spoilt and it is not cheap (it cost around S$250). The reason that they get spoilt easily due to dropping it on the floor accidentally. i went to the day surgery recovery ward for the first time today. it is air- conditional and was opened for SARS isolation ward during the SARS period.
The moment i got back to the department, faz asked me to do the transferring of the leakage current test of the TE-171 that i mentioned yesterday and closed the job for it. Since it is a class 1, you have to test for the ground resistance. Sometimes, you are unable to find the right round, the screen of the safety analyser will displayed "over ohm" or a resistance value larger than 02 ohm. If the "over ohm" message displayed, there are two reasons and they are either that point is not the ground or the screws are too rusty and you have to file it. That point is the ground but not the right one when the resistance displayed is larger than 0.2 ohm. As soon as i completed it with the help of faz, we have to deliver it back to emergency ward. Before that, we had to collect a faulty device to send for repairing.
After lunch, i got the chance to try out two models of transport physiologic monitors. One of them has a touch screen panel property and different colours for different waveforms while the other has only a colour and you have to press the buttons instead of having the touch screen panel. i found out from Mr Toh that normal person has Sp02 of 98% to 100%. The monitors have a release valve in it that would be used if the pump does not stop the pumping at 300 mmHg to prevent the pressure for the cuff wrap from crashing your arm.
Before i end my work, i had to search for devices that needed to have maintenance done during this month. one of the is a tonopen and the other is genofuge which is a mini version of the centrifuge. Unfamiliar of the locations in the hospital of me was pretty lost as i do not know where the lab is so i had to ask the nurses for location. The doctor, Mr Lim is pretty nice as he was like " you sure you are able to bring it back on your own?". At first i thought genofuge would be quite light but the fact is it is quite heavy. When doing maintenance for lab devices, we have to wear gloves as there will be using body fluid or blood samples for testing.
i will be having orientation for tomorrow and Friday at seminar room. it is an orientation for full-time empolyees but since i am working here for 5 months, i have to go for it. I asked my fellow colleagues where is the seminar room as i have no idea where it is. They told me nicely and quite patient as they have to repeat like twice in order for me to know the exact location.
