44tH DaY oF aTtAchMent

I managed to spend about 2 hours in doing the safety test for 2 pumps, which are syringe and infusion pumps, and tabulating the results that i got for the tests.Finally, i got to finish almost all of the pumps for May. However, there is still an infusion pump unable to be located as i believe that the pump from SICU loaned to wards. The compact feeding pumps returned from DKSH as 8 pumps were sent to them for preventive maintenance. They would do the function test and cleaning. After they are delivered to BME, the engineer, william, will then did the final test which is the leakage current test.

After lunch, i mainly focusing on repair work on those devices that were just sent to the department by attendents. A pressure control from mattress alternating pressure ( betabed from huntleigh) is making noise. While checking for the orgin of the noise, i found out that the pump is generating most of the noise. After dismantled the motor assembly which is the pump, one of the rubbers in between two magnets lost its elasticity. That's the problem why the pump is making so much noise. I could change the either the rubber or the whole motor assembly in order to solve the problem. Since the pressure control does not have a record of motor asembly being changed, I chose to change the whole pump.

Lastly, the otoscope/othalmoscope was sent to bme yesterday. The problem for this otoscope seems like the battery unable to be charged as the charger rarely spoilt unless it is the nurses' disability of taking care of it. Therefore, i changed and charged the battery overnight to return back to ward 7 as they need it urgently.
