Introduction Biomedical Engineering
Biomedical engineering technologists,
however, largely maintain equipment already functioning in hospitals and other
facilities.
Biomedical Equipment
The equipment which are used to diagnose
and to treat the patient are biomedical equipments
Biomedical equipments include:
Diagnostic Treatment
Diagnostic are more important because
without diagnostic we cannot treat a disease.Diagnostic include Radiation and
Radiopharmaceutical while Treatment include raditions only .
Types of Equipments
Medical Equipments (Vital sign, ECG machine, BP apparatus)
Surgical Equipments (Surgical Diathermis, Operation table,
Colposcope)
Radioimaging Equipments (X-ray machine ,ultrasound machine,
CT scan)
Labortory Equipments (Chemistry analyzer, Hematology
analyzer, Microscopes)
Life Saving Equipments (Ventilators, Suction machine,
Anesthesia machine)
Tender
This is the system in which
advertisemnet is given in newspaper about the requirement of machinery in hospital.
Inventory
Process of inventory
involves the following:
Ø When the machinery
came
Ø Installation of
machinery
Ø Record
Ø Model
Ø History
Ø Serial number
Ø Warranty
Maintenance
PPM
It is periodic preventive maintenance.
It is already scheduled with company.
100% for sure.
Should be performed after a fix time.
PM
It is preventive maintenance.
Time and date is not decided.
Can be performed at any time when
required.
On call Maintenance
It is performed when
asked by the department.
Routine Departmental wise maintenance
Check & balance
of equipment’s on daily basis.
Services
In house service
Performed
by the company within the hospital for minor problems.
Under warranty service
Service
is performed within warranty time.
Under maintenance contract service
Contract is signed with the company, is
case of any fault company is responsible for service.
Specifically, this type of service is
for heavy machinery such as MRI, CT scan, X-Ray machine etc.
SERVICE CONTRACT WITH PARTS
Company buy parts on
its own and perform service on its own.
SERVICE CONTRACT WITHOUT PARTS
Company diagnose the
faults and asks for the equipment by the hospital and then perform service and
if any part will change then hospital will pay to company.
Demonstration
When
new machinery will install, biomedical engineer arranges the demo for users of
machines and the company engineer explains the machine usage.
Opening and inspection of equipment
Equipment
is opened in presence of company engineers, so in case of any damage / faulty
equipment, company will responsible. Report about inspection of machinery that
which fault is present is inspection report.
