Importance of Hospital Equipments
2
In the field of hospitals, the medical equipments
play a vital role in the diagnosis, monitoring
and treatment of different kinds of medical
conditions. These devices are designed to
maintain rigorous safety standards in order to
ensure the safety of patients and the absence of
these medical tools could significantly pull down
the medical industry and become detrimental to
the lives of billions of people worldwide.
3
Therefore it is highly imperative that the
equipments should be properly taken care to
guarantee the functionality and their
reliability. Medical equipments are classified
into five different categories namely diagnostic,
life support, therapeutic, monitors and medical
laboratory.
4
Diagnostic devices are used to determine the
identity of a possible disease/disorder and may
include devices like x-ray machines, ultrasound,
MRI, PET and CT scanners. Therapeutic devices are
commonly used to aid patients during and after
surgical procedures which include infusion pump,
medical lasers and LASIK surgical machines.
5
Regardless of the type of medical devices used,
it is highly important that they should be
properly maintained to deliver longer service
life and to avoid the spread of diseases. Of
course, some medical tools are disposable such as
gloves and needles, but it is not financially
sound to dispose of expensive devices between
uses.
6
There are various ways in which you could ensure
the functionality of these medical devices. To
start with, if you are using reusable home
medical devices you could disinfect them after
every usage with cotton dabbed in rubbing
alcohol. After this process, place the
contaminated equipment in an ultrasound bath that
is filled with disinfectant solution for 15
minutes.
7
The ultrasonic bath uses strong ultrasonic waves
that could remove even the smallest quantities of
contaminants. Rinse the equipment with clean
water and then dry it with disposable paper
towels. Place your tools in self-sealing
autoclave bags and put them in an autoclave
machine, which subject your device to high
pressure steam.
8
Once you have completed the steaming process,
properly store your equipment in a clean and
sterilized place. For larger medical devices such
as portable ultrasound machines, patient monitors
and dialysis machines, you could employ the
services of medical device service centers to
help you in maintaining your medical tools.
9
Most of the time these service centers are manned
by skilled technicians who are trained to
troubleshoot a variety of issues about medical
devices. They would help you in installing,
upgrading and repairing your devices, ensuring
you that they are safe to use and functioning
very well.
10
Generally, the numerous aforementioned devices
are very important for the betterment of the
lives of patients. Maintaining and cleaning them
are the most effective means in order to ensure
that they would function at their peak, and that
they would not become the source of the spread of
diseases. Yet above all, it is important that you
purchase your medical tools from reliable
manufacturers.
