| [ Summary ] | Dialysis consoles are equipped with both water and electrical supply systems. Therefore, regular maintenance inspections are necessary to operate these devices safely. We have our own check list for the DCS-22B®(NIKKISO), according to which we conduct regular inspections of the devices. Clinical engineers are responsible not only for periodically inspecting but also for repairing these devices. Therefore, training of engineers is very important. When a malfunction is identified, it is necessary to determine whether it is the responsibility of the maker or the hospital. |
