SiXtH DaY of AttAcHmEnT

Two of my colleagues just came back from their leave. One of them is having holiday with her family while the other is hospitalised due to consuming of the wrong medication. i went around the hosptial with faz todae for most of the time. We did preventive maintenance for about 9 devices today. We had to bring along with a defibrillator analyzer and safety analyzer. We were suppose to bring a tachnogenerator to measure the speed of the centrifuge which is a device that used to separate the plasma and blood in a test tube by using spinning mechanism but we forgotten about it. i just found out that medical devices are usually kept in the equipment room. If the devices are unable to be found in the room, we have to search it everywhere in the ward as the patients may be using it. we have to remove the maintenance label after we finished doing it. The difference of doing the maintenance for a medical device with the lab device is when you test for the leakage current and other necessary measurement, you have to place the black probe on the casing of the devices and digital multimeter is required too.

After the first half of maintenance, we went back to the department to do the commissioning of defibrillator : lifepak 12 to see whether the paddles and device are working. Next, we continue doing preventive maintenance of devices in the day surgery and x-ray department. For the day surgery, i saw this device that is used to sterilize the handpieces such as electrical drill after every use and chemical solution is used to do so.

We have to transfer the data from the safety analyser to the computer to update the profiles of the medical devices.
