38th DaY of aTtAchMent
It was about to rain when i was about to reach my BME department so i rushed down to Operation theatre and day surgery before they started having cases coming in. The first place that i went is Operation theatre at level 2 but the nurses were having meeting so it is a fruitile trip. When i managed to get TE-171 infusion pump from day surgery, the weather was really bad as it keeps raining. The interesting part is that i was too early and nursing officer asked me not to go before 8am.
There was a commissioning of ultrasound scanner from Philips at x-ray department. The only difference is that it has this sonoCT mode that gives a better and sharper image. The vendor will just use a probe to scan a phantom which has pins placed at certain positions. They did the pentration and resolution test.
There was a PCA pump, Graseby 3100, sent for PM from ward 11. Since i am doing all the pumps for PM this month, i tried my best to look for the service manual for the exact function checklist. There are about 10 tests to be carried out but only 3 importatnt tests are required. They are alarm silence test, flow test and occlusion test. Firstly, for the alarm silence test, you have to place a 50ml syringe and start the device. Opening the plunger clamp that is used for infusing a certain amount of liquid medication. If the device is working, you will expect the alarm to sound intermittenly and LED lights up with "CLAMP OPENED" being displayed. Secondly, you have to set 99.9ml/hr for delivery rate with 30/40 ml of water and let it run for exactly 6 minutes (using the infusion device analyzer). The acceptable range is 9.79 to 10.19 ml. Lastly, set the same delivery rate as the flow test and start the device with 50 ml syringe filled with 30 ml of water. The acceptable range for occlusion is 4.84 to 11.61 PSI.
