| [ Summary ] | The maintenance of medical equipment is one of the most important tasks performed by clinical engineering technologists. In our training of new clinical engineering technologists for the maintenance and repair of medical equipment at our hospital, we endeavor to address the following points. 1) A full understanding of how to operate equipment and how the equipment itself operates. 2) Understanding the circuitry and operating-principles. 3) Understanding the specific inspection procedures and their meaning. 4) Increasing one's knowledge and experience. Adequate information from the medical field is important for achieving the aforementioned aims as well as for the efforts of individual technologists and instructors. Our world is changing, as illustrated by the revision of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law, and the role of clinical engineering technologists will become much more important in the days to come. |
