74th day of attachment

I continue with the corrective maintenance while waiting for my PCA pump to be returned to the Operation Theatre.

I started to go more in depth of analyzing the fault for the propaq CS242 monitor by checking fuse blown. The common 2 problems that lead the device unable to run on AC are the adaptor is faulty or the fuse blown. I swapped the adaptor and the problem is still there. Therefore, I concluded that the fuse is blown. However, after replacing the fuse, the fuse is only able to last for a while.

The preventive maintenance list for July is out so I started doing maintenance for the infusion pumps. I brought 2 TE-331 syringe pumps from ward 4 since the volumetric pumps are being used by the patients. There are quite a bit of read-up to do for me to know the maintenance as there is always a first time to do things. Looking at the specifications of the pump, it is a Class 1 type CF. This pump is still similar to the TE-311. The difference is it has more functions such as an occlusion indicator which show the occlusion approaching soon. There is inspection list attached at the back of the service manual for future reference while doing the PM. I spent the whole afternoon to do and understand the maintenance of this syringe pump.
