88th day of attachment
The final stage of checking the infrared ear thermometers is to clean them up with alcohol pads and double check with the temperature measurement. After doing that, I repair or replaced some devices such as the sphygnomomamometer, mattress pumps, MaxHealth HE-7500. One of them is due for preventive maintenance while the other air pressure is slow.
CAM (chemical Agent Monitor) is to detect any radioactive toxic vapour either on the person or vehicles. Once it detected that is a radioactive biological vapour on a person’s body, the person will be sent to decontamination room. Sometimes, certain countries will end up using biological weapons which making use of radioactive or toxic vapours. To prevent any further contamination to the people, this device is then to be used. It seems like a portable device in terms of weight. I did not know what it is used for initially as I have never seen it before. Reading through the service manual and hoping that I will have a better understanding of the operation and checking of the CAM. I tried to perform the confidence testing but I could not get any indication of contamination level. Therefore, I seek for Mr. Sin’s help by asking him about the confidence test. Based on the service manual, it has to run for at least an hour before any usage as it is quite some time since we last used it. Checking is required before and after lending devices to other hospitals. The device is lent to KK hospital but it was returned and told that it is not working. After it is being warmed up for 30 minutes, I tried again by placing the confidence sample in front of the nozzle for 1 second. The device indicates high vapor contamination and it is proved that it is working fine. Jets of air are being released through the nozzle. We have 4 of this device in Alexandra Hospital.
Based on the color of it, I think it is from the armed force. Green is a type of colour that is being used for camouflage in the field. After running two of these monitors, I found out that one of them seems not working as it take quite much longer to run self-test and unable to switch from G (nerve agent ) to H ( blister agent ) mode. The operator’s manual stated that I should notify my supervisor if I met with this problem.
ECG recorder from ward 2 was damaged and staff nurse notified us about how it is spoilt. Initially, there is nothing on the display though we switched it on. There is a floppy disk to allow the software to be run and was missing from the recorder so my colleague asked the staff nurse for the floppy disk to upload the software. After software being uploaded, the waveforms are shown on the display and perform the function test.
