sixteenth DaY oF AttAchMent
Today marks the beginning of the month for preventive maintenance. There are close to 200 devices for this month. I simply could not wait to start doing preventive maintenance as i will be able to see a lot of equipments that i may not know. Firstly, before starting doing it, we had to print the maintenance list for easy reference, note down the various class and types and whether it is under warranty or contract. If the device is under contract, we had to call up the vendor and asked them to send someone down to collect the device for maintenance. It is either the nurses will bring the devices down or we collect them personally.
We started off by collecting all of the Terumo Ear Thermometers that are listed for calibration so we spent about 2 hours in collecting them. I went to the Dental Department to collect the non-invasive blood pressure device too. After collection, my colleague taught me how to calibrate it using a master thermometer which is quite accurate and Terumo calibrator which use a heater control to maintain the air inside of it to be approximately 40 degree. The calibrator has a timer which allows the user to know when to measure the temperature using the ear thermometer.
There is a commissioning of a shockwave therapy unit. I got to meet another first batch senior having attachment in United BMEC. They had frequency check and power check of the devices. The interesting part is they used neon light to check the presence of the output. When the device is switched to impulse mode, the neon light placed near the tubing of the probe will start flicking for 15 pulse per minute. There is also a dummy load to test the power. There are 3 70 watts bulbs in the load. The safety features of the devices are the timer and the clicking sound of the adjusting knob of intensity. They also use a frequency counter to perform the frequency check.
Amos from United BMEC meet up with me to collect the foot scan and the computer to demostrate to nurses and doctors who are having training in NUH. i was surprised to see yao te, my senior working under this company as i do not know about it. Told Him what i know about the software such as her to do a foot scan.
Lastly, i was told to do maintenance for the 6 infusion pumps and do some minor repairing like align the rod with the screw as the the tubing clamp don't seems to work again for one of them. i hope Faz will get well soon and have speedy recovery as she accidentally sprained her neck.
