26th DaY of AttAchMent

Spent about 2 hours doing preventive maintenance for Day surgery and lab. For Day Surgery, we did jupiter masks and electrosurgical unit (type 1 class CF) . On the other hand, we also did centrifuge. i start to get used to identify the class and type of various devices. The preventive maintenance that we done for this centrifuge is slightly different as have to measure the speed at different rpm instead of doing it once. There are two parameters that the user is able to adjust which is duration and the speed. You can't stop it immediately when you turn it off. You have to press "brake" button to slow down the speed before turning it off.

Went to Endoscopy to replace a lamp for light source, CLV-U40 which is a Olympus Model, in the afternoon as they called Faz to drop by. While on our way to endoscopy, she told me that the lamp looks like normal lamp that you can purchase it any supermart. However, the price of this lamp is like at least 500 times the price of normal lamp. She taught me how to replace the cermax lamp by removing heat sink with the lamp in between. Before replacing it to the heat sink, you have to apply a white cream on the metal surface of the lamp to have even distribution of the heat produced around the area to prevent overheating. After that, place the new lamp in between the heat sink and screw it back. Lastly, placed it into the device and closed the side door of it. The safety feature is when the side door is not properly closed, the device will unable to emit light. There is a timer on the device that will indicates whether it has been used for 500 hrs.If the lamp is used for more than 500 hrs, the light being emitted will be very dim so it is recommended to change at least every 4 months and depends on how often it is being used.
