seventh Day of AttAcHmEnt

Spent the whole morning in clinic A which is the clinic specialised in diabetes waiting for suitable subjects who have neuropathy only. Getting 16 subjects' footscans may seems like easy to some people but the process of finding the right subject is pretty difficult as not many patients have neuropathy. Thankfully, i had two male patients who fitted the requirements and they are quite cooperating. i just found out that diabetic patients' feets unable to lie flat on the foot sensor matrix.

I went back to my department after doing my research. I saw Faz having a lot of paperwork to do so i offered my help to her to share her workload and also able to learn new things. There are different ways of doing the documentation of service reports as the way Faz taught me is pretty different from Lee Chong's. I had to put one of my colleague's name for the service portion of the equipment file which stores the information of it. There about 3 devices required commissioning today but i only able to see one of them which is the patient warmer. It is used for hyperthermia patients during surgery and recovery period. It has a pump and inflatable blanket. It is a class 1 type BF. the first thing that come to my mind when i at first saw it is a mattress pump system. It is pretty similar to the mattress pump system but just that it generates heated air. i saw the third generation of infusion pump which is the TE-171. It has almost the same function as the ST-503. The difference between the two of them is TE-171 is able to let the user to select the occlusion limit which ranges from high to low. i can say it seems more precised than the first generation infusion pump. Even for the testing of the device is totally different as the occlusion has to be done for high to low and the readings of the measurement are different too. The flow rate has to be about 25ml.
