I did a battery test for syringe pump as the battery test failed on last friday. Therefore, i charged it for a day at least. While doing the battery test, i went to various places to find any suction unit or pumps required to have in-house maintenance and lent endoscopy department a loaner gastrioscope as they were lacking scopes. Sometimes, Olympus would send their field service engineer to either do the repair there or bringing the scope back for servicing. Loaner scope would be given if the scope is sent for servicing. After walking a few wards, i found out that almost all of the intermittent suction unit had been done on janunary 2006 so we could skipped all of the suction unit that required for maintenance.

Replaced 2 6V rechargerable batteries for laderal suction unit as it was reported unable to run on batteries. It has been quite some time since they last changed the batteries, it is time for me to change them.

I started doing the list for the preventive maintenance for june including the type and class of the devices for reference in doing the safety test.

Commissioning of 5-6 types of devices which parts that combined to form an endoscopy system 3 endoscopes ( 2 gastroscope and 1 fibroscope). We did the necessary test, safety test. The engineer did extra two tests which are brightness test and leakage test ( done only for the endoscopes) . Firstly, the engineer will use a meter th at measures the brightness and reading must be above 150. Secondly, the leakage test was done by pumping air into the scope and check for any leakage. If there is, the meter will drop drastically. A video converter is required for fibroscope as the user unable to see the image clearly on the LCD monitor and processor is only used for this scope. That's the reason why it only able to display the image in black and white. This system is the latest model and only two hospital have it. The other hospital which is NUH. The only common problem was printer tends to be not working quite often.
