In the morning, i continue doing checking for the other 2 devices that are requested as loan. Initially, I just connect the resuscitator with the oxygen cylinder and the patient valve to check for its working condition. Later, the flow analyzer was used to check the accuracy of the tidal volume that it produced and breath per minute. My colleague and I just simply check the defibrillator by having physical check. We making sure of the paddles' working condition. For Lifepak 12, it is more sophisticated compared to Lifepak 20 as it has more functions. At 3am, it will do a self – test automatically so pacer not recommended to be connected to the device unless it required to be used. After the staff who is in charge of this event came to collect the devices, i continue doing my report and a bit of my presentation.
In the afternoon, alternating mattress pressure system, AlphaxCell is sent down for repair. The fault lies with the parts of the connector stuck inside of the connector of the mattress. We solved the problem by removing the part of the connector instead of replacing with a new one. An suction regulator is brought back for in-house maintenance. Vacutron intermittent/continuous suction regulator from Allied Healthcare. This suction regulator is different from all of the suction regulators that I have done either repair or maintenance for. However, the functions still the same. The intermittent timings for this model having shorter range of time. The staff who is in charge for helping out in the marathon requested for an oxygen transport flowmeter connected with another small oxygen cylinder. Before loaning it to him, I have to check whether it is in working condition. Since there is no service manual or functional check list given to us upon purchase, we only able to roughly gauge whether it is still working.
