Since there is only a technician available today and many devices required for repair, we decided to stay in the workplace to do as much repair as possible. However, we only managed to complete about 6 devices. They consist mostly sphygonomamometers ( manual BP set) and infusion pumps. Mr Toh managed to locate an infusion pump that was due last month. The only problem is the maintenance was done in october 2005. There were quite a few complications. However, we managed to settle with the date of maintenance which is every june.

There was a commissioning for Welch Allyn Propaq CS424. Few basic tests were done to check the functioning of the propaq. To check whether the accessories working as well and waveforms are able to be formed on the screen.

A new arrived ECG device is sent to BME for commissioning. The date of commissioning is not yet booked. However, i did try to play around with the device using patient simulator. This ECG device, ECG typewriter/interpreter Trim 3, from philips looks a lot better than the older ECG devices as it is more compact and having colour screen. There are more functions such as you are able to select what type of filter you want to filter off the noise and transfer the report in terms of USB stick or fax. I think i was pretty amazed by it.
