73th day of attachment

This is the last week of June and I have yet finished the maintenance for PCA Pump, Graseby 3300. After the month of June, Technician who is appointed to do repair for the month will be sent to Jurong Medical Centre for repair and commissioning instead of doing it in Alexandra Hospital. Jurong Medical Centre is mainly for research and it is part of Alexandra Hospital.

I could only brought down one PCA pump since the other is out to the ward for use and unsure when it will be returned back. I think may be I will try again after I returned the Pump when I am done with it.

There is one transport physiologic monitor having faulty connector at DEM. We always have to bring a patient stimulator whenever we received calls about monitor being faulty or just parts of it. After analyzing the fault, I found out that it could not run on AC power supply or being charged.

A porter brought down 3 devices down for repair which are the Pulmo-Aide nebuliser, stethoscope and intermittent suction unit. I managed to complete the repair for intermittent suction unit. I got to repair or replacing the stethoscope for the first time as my colleagues usually repaired it.

There seems much repair for me to be done for today since one of my colleagues is still on leave while the other is having MC. I am trying my best to make their workload lighter by doing more repairs today. So far so well, I have only done 3 out of 10 devices. Trying to push my own limit to complete as much as device as possible to learn more of repair.

There is an internal audit in BME by a Laboratory Manager who is appointed to conduct it and it is today. Before the actual audit, there is a trial one to get the staffs in prepare for the real one in terms of common questions being asked such as the location of procedures in the intranet. Audit is taken place throughout the whole hospital to renew the license of the ISO as it is important that Alexandra Hospital is ISO certified. The auditor will also take a look at the inventory list.

I went to Clinic A to transfer the pictures for the plantar images that will be used for the search on a disc for Dr. Chelsea Law. I just have to pass her when she is back from her trip to Cambodia. Audit trial drive went well fine but the auditor emphasizes more of the safety hazards and what equipments that we used to justify whether the medical devices is performing well after repair.
