48tH DaY of AtTachMent

Maintenance is about to finish and it is like faster than we expected to complete it. Therefore, we, faz and i, focus on repair more for today since lee chong is on full-day leave. For today, there were quite a few equipments sent for repair.

Morning.....
The bladderscan, BVI 3000, was sent for repair since last sat due to the internal printer's disability to process the results. Since i haven't deal with this device before, Mr Toh will show me the ropes in solving this problem. The first thing that came to his mind was paper jam. However, the remains of the torn paper were stuck inside the device so he has to start to remove the cover in order to remove the pieces. The only thing that i was shocked to see was you have to remove about 20 screws of different sizes in order to do a simple task. It seems so tetious compared to older version which you only have to remove 4 screws to get to the internal components. After solving the problem, have to wipe the roller with damped alcohol pad.

A nebuliser is sent down with a intermitten suction unit. Usually, i will just do some analysis on the devices to find the problem that cause it to become faulty. Firstly, after checked for 15 minutes, using the inhaler to test whether the nebuliser is able to pump air to the water ( we used it to test the production of mist). It seems like working fine so most probably it is the tubing is being occluded somewhere or lies with the end-user. Secondly, the infusion pump's vacuum probe seems unable to fit to the wall vacuum. Since the probe is kind of rusty, i changed a new probe for it.

In the afternoon, Mr Toh brought back a intermitten suction unit with cracking cover and lost of a nameplate after returning the bladder ultrasound scanner to ward 3. without hesitation, i started to replace the cover and give it a nameplate. My job is done for the suction unit. You have to repair and make sure it is running according to the specifications whenever they are sent for repair. Lastly, we spent the last hour solving problems with the oxylog 2000 and manikin. For the oxylog 2000, the minute volume always not within the specification from MOH but within the manufacturing specifications. After exchanging the patient valve and tubing that connect the patient valve from the ventilator, it seems like the problem lies with the tubing as we exchanged with another oxylog at the storeroom. Both of them are able to produce a minute volume within both specifications. Lastly, the head of the manikin came off so we latched back the head to the body.
