46th DaY oF atTachMent

There is a heated nebuliser, deluxe from datex-ohema, requested for condemnation by the sister of emergency medicine as it is redundant for them. However, if the device is inspected and working well, it will be transferred to other departments. Since it is my first time to do a thoroughly maintenance for nebuliser, i went to look at the service manual and understand it by asking Mr Sin about any doubts that i had. Firstly, you have to measure the temperature for setting 2 and 6. The ranges of them are 52 to 72 and 82 to 96 respectively. Secondly, there is the temperature safety cutoff which is one of the safety features. The nebuliser heater will turn off when it detected that the nebuliser jar is not placed on it within 5 minutes. There is a reset button beneath the heater in order for the user to restart the heating process. finished with my checking with it. i just have to inform him tomorrow as he had meetings today.

Since i am done with the maintenance on the pumps, i took a transport physiologic monitor, one of the 100 series, as it was suspected to have a leak in the device when taking the blood pressure (NIBP) of the patient. Did not think too much about the settings, i started to dismantle the monitor and found out that the tubings for pumping air into the cuff were really dirty. May be the problem lies with the dirt so i cleaned the tubings by removing the dirt with alcohol pads. It took me quite some time to finish up with the cleaning. I tested it again and found out that there is still "hissing" sound. I just rememebered there is another propaq, 102 EL, in the "awaiting parts" cabinet so i test it along with the one i am dealing on. In the end, only the higher limit is 240 mmHg which is too high as usually it will be at 170 mmhg. That's the reason why it keep on pumping air even it is over 160mmhg. There is another problem lies with the 102 EL as it is unable to pump air into the cuff. i shall solve it tomorrow.

It was really nice to see mdm tan today as she is on her way to collect my forms. It has been like a month since i last chatted with her. It is the first time that i actually have much things to tell her.

Richard from STORZ came to comission telescope warmer as the user will end up complaining it cause the telescope either too cold or hot. The commissioning still failed after a few attempts as richard is unable to give us the tolerance for 40 degree and 65 degree slots. I believe that is something misunderstanding during it but thankfully, it is cleared at the end.
