65th day of attachment
There was far much more repair to be done instead of preventive maintenance. The terumo infusion pump that I brought back from ward 10 has another new fault. Initially, there was “Er 2” displayed. I went to search for service manual since it is my first time came across this problem. The manual stated that there is a self-test on the accuracy of motor rotation. For my case, I dismantle the device and assemble it again as I am afraid that the connection of the connector will be wrong. After solving that problem, I found out that the motor is making a lot of noise while it is working. I tried cleaning the equipment, as the gears are dirty. I hope that will solve the problem.
Spiegeler warmer (telescope warmer), atmos medizinTechnik GmbH + Co.KG. There was a foul smell coming out during suctioning the patient ear. There is a suction handpiece that used to suck the earwax in case of any ear infection. We clean the whole hand piece with tap water. May be the table of the treatment unit did not sterilize as they usually sterilize every piece of tools on the treatment unit. Another fault is no heat generating on the unit. The filaments were not heated. Thankfully there is a reset button to switch on the heating element.
IRMA blood analyzer from MICU has a new fault that is unable to record the first patient’s reading after the cartilage is being inserted to the device. This device is intended for use with IRMA cartridges for the in-vitro measurement of various critical care analytes in human whole blood such as calcium, sodium, chloride and potassium ions, pressure of oxygen and carbon dioxide and most important one is the pH value of the blood.
There seem far more things for me to learn within 5 months. After greasing the fingers and the gears, I assembled the parts together. When I start running it, the gear moves smoothly with the stepper motor. However, the problem with here is that the gear not moving and displayed Er 2 again. I think Er 2 means malfunctioning of the stepper motor. I have to charge the battery overnight to make sure whether the batteries able to hold charge. If not, I have to find ways to replace the batteries. It really takes time to have a sense of fulfill to complete the whole fault of this device. I feel that I keep making the device’s fault becoming more than one. It seems like I creating own fault to challenge myself.
