52Th DaY of AtTaCHmEnt

Days working in Alexandra Hospital seems pass by quite fast and i am quite used to the things that i am dealing with. I truly enjoyed my attachment there.

Since it is close to the month of june, I started to do maintenance for infusion and syringe pumps which are due next month. Since the maintenance for the pumps are more time-consuming and not much repair to be done, i brought down a few pumps to the workplace. There are 3 terumo pumps and about 8 graseby PCA pumps to be done. There was one pump that i have trouble in adjusting the occlusion limit as usually it will be "M". I searched through the service manual but it did not show the adjustment of limit so i asked Faz and Lee Chong. After pressing the buttons, i finally know how to adjust it.

Rememeber the displayed assembly that i order from IDS for the graseby 3300 PCA pump a month ago? I just received it in the morning and glad that i can start practising my soldering skill. However, when i opened the package, the layout for the pin header on the board is for 16 pins which is different from the older boards but the weird part is the manufacturer gave me a 15 pin header. Mr Sin and i suspect that one of the pins is not in use. I called up Tuan, service engineer from IDS to clear my doubt. He did not know about it so he has to call the manufacturer to double check it. I find that there is another possibility which is i gave the wrong part number. I only about to know a few days later at least.

There is a talk at the auditorium at 3:30pm. It was about how Alexandra Hospital able to follow Toyota car production in terms of their productivity and efficiency as CEO of AH believes that most of the empolyees do not know about the engineering area and paying too much attention how to provide the best service to the patients. I strongly agreed with what CEO said as the only way that provides revenue to the hospital is giving the patients deepest impression in terms of service to keep them coming.
