27th DaY of AtTaChMeNt

Went to Tyco healthcare with Mr Sin and Lee Chong for 840 Ventilators training as it usually caused problems to the users and technicians. It is a 2 days intense training due to time constraint. There are other engineers and technicians from various hospitals beside AH which are TTSH, NUH, CGH, Mount Elizabeth and Gleneagles. There are also two foreign engineers from brunei and china respectively to make a trip here to learn the operation and technical area of the venilator. I am happy that i get to see my classmates, marcus and fu hai. It has been a long time since i last saw them. They seems like enjoying their IAP there.

Firstly, we did ice breaking by introducing ourselves and using of this model ventilator. Before i start to introduce myself, some of the employees of tyco knows that i am their friend. I found out that i am not the only one who did not do the maintenance tests and try out the equipment.

Secondly, the head of the service engineering department, Mr derrick Ng, gave an addressing speech before Mr Liew taking over the training. He talked about the various individual part of the device and the function of it. From there, he started to talk more about the various valves such as inspiratory valve, expiratory valve and safety valve. One of the safety features is when the exhaust is being blocked or obstructed, the safety valve will be turned on as the volume is beyond the limit that the user set for the airway volume and start to release the air from the device.

Lastly, we tried to do the worksheets 1 and 2. worksheet 1 is mainly the operation and what type of errors will the device has. worksheet focus more on the Standard Self test.
