63th day of attachment
We are going to spend the whole day doing preventive maintenance as we are slightly behind schedule. I finally found the infusion volumetric pump that located at Emergency. We had to do the maintenance for emergency and geriatric medicine rehabilitation. Usually, there will be a lot patients coming in to those departments and nurses or doctors may need to use those equipments that are listed for preventive maintenance.
We decide to spend the afternoon doing preventive maintenance at diabetes research laboratory and evening at Endoscopy department.
In the morning, we did a quite a number of physiotherapy devices such as treadmills and nerve stimulator. The preventive maintenance is not only doing the safety test. We also have to try on the devices such as increasing the speed and angle. We actually have to get on the treadmill to carry out the functional tests. One of the safety features for this treadmill is having emergency stop. While we were carrying out the preventive maintenance, there were a lot of elderly people having physiotherapy sessions so we have slight difficulty in finishing all of the preventive maintenance for the department. Fortunately, we managed to complete all of them. When we finished doing in these departments, it is time for lunch. Time seems to pass really quickly when you are actually doing maintenance or repair.
In the afternoon, the first stop is diabetes research laboratory for maintenance. There were about seven devices required for maintenance. While the researcher separating the sample according to the components, we performed the preventive maintenance on the remaining devices. There is a spectrophotometer also known as DNA/RNA/ Protein analyzer which tests for the quality and quantity of DNA in the sample. Vortex mixer is a device used to vortex the sample with a specific reagent in order to mix the solution well. It is also used with the centrifuge. The mixed solution is being placed in the centrifuge for spinning in order for the reagent at the side for further mixing. It is also used for spinning blood sample in separate the different components of blood such as plasma, white and red blood cells.
