24th DaY of attachMent

Continue with my soldering of the resusci anne skillreporter............................
I have to get the cable done as soon as possible as the manikin is in the workplace longer than the usual standard period of time for repair time which is 1 week. Trying to places the 8 conductors on to the PCB socket but the wires seems to be unable to stay in the socket. After a few failed attempts of securing the wires to the socket, i finally did it. While doing the continunity test, i found out that the positioning of the conductors got mixed up while i do soldering. only 2 of the wires are positioned correctly so i have to remove the others from the socket to place the correct location on it. Did the continunity test again and i found out that contact between the socket to the connector is bad as the alarm do not sound. One of my colleague suggested that i should remove the insulation of the wires to have better contact so i did according what he said and it works. I used silicon glue to secure the wires positioned on the socket and prevent it to short to another wire.

Finally done with my cable so i wanted to try whether it works. After plugging the connector into the manikin, i realised that it is low batt. May be i forgot to off the manikin after using it? Anyway, my colleague order the size D energizer batteries (1.5V) so i just have to wait for them to be delivered.

The department seems so empty as about 4 devices are taken to be placed in the storeroom for MMD. Since the first day i came to BME, there is always devices coming in to our department for commissioning so got used in having a few devices around.

Mr Sin had a meeting with us about the auditing on next tuesday. He briefly told us what we have to know like where is the procedures for BME located in intranet of Alexandra Hospital, house keeping, working safety, lock- out safety, the ISO guidelines and 20 basics of Alexandra Hospital.

Lastly, Lee Chong and i delivered back the repaired devices.
