For Professional Elective-IV scheme and its subjects refer to Bio Medical Engineering (BM) Professional Elective-IV syllabus scheme. The detailed syllabus of biomedical equipment servicing and maintenance lab is as follows.
Course Objectives:
This course is designed to
- Provide hands-on experience in troubleshooting techniques
- Impart basic knowledge in maintenance procedures adopted for biomedical equipment.
- Inculcate the essential knowledge for testing and calibration of medical instruments.
Course Outcomes:
On completion of the course, the student will be able to:
- Use fundamental troubleshooting tools, procedures and circuit tracing to identify the faults in equipment.
- Use appropriate fault diagnosis tools and techniques in analog & digital circuits.
- Trace, draw and troubleshoot diagnostic, therapeutic equipment and clinical laboratory equipment. 20 Applying
- Test and calibrate instruments using analyzers.
Module 1:
- Describe troubleshooting basics – types of faults, Troubleshooting & Maintenance aspects of the given equipment, Troubleshooting process & fault finding aids. 1 Understanding
- Test different SMD discrete components and IC packages with due care and following safety norms using proper tools/setup.
- Identify various input and output sockets/connectors /indicators on the given equipment.
- Identify various circuit boards and monitor voltages / currents at vital test points.
- Summarize the procedures for Test after troubleshooting, repairing and preventive maintenance steps as per NABH 1 Understanding
Module 2:
- Apply Digital IC Troubleshooters, logic clip, logic probe, logic pulser, logic current tracer, logic comparator.
- Fault diagnosis in analog circuits – component testing, in-circuit testing of components, circuit tracing, signal tracing and fault identification.
- Tracing and Testing of voltage regulators, different types of power supplies, amplifiers etc.
- Identify the effects of temperature and correction with protection devices like thermister compensation, heat sink, thermal fuse, and thermal switch.
- Identify various connectors of biopotential recorders (common connecting probes, cables, electrodes for EEG, ECG. EMG etc), test, identify faults and repair.
Module 3:
- Troubleshoot faults found in medical equipment – digital BP meter, ECG machine, Defibrillator, Pulse oximeter, Patient monitors, fetal monitor, audiometers, Infusion pump, syringe pump and nebulizer.
- Troubleshoot faults found in clinical laboratory equipment – pH meter, Colorimeter, Hb meter, Cell counter, auto gas analyzer etc.
Module 4:
- Test and calibrate instruments using Gas flow analyzer, defibrillator analyzer, ESU analyzer and multiparameter simulator.
Suggested Open Ended Projects
(Not for End Semester Examination but compulsory to be included in Continuous Internal Evaluation. Students can do open ended experiments as a group of 4-5. There is no duplication in experiments between groups. Open ended experiments should include the use of tools, testing and measuring instruments studied and other troubleshooting procedures.)
- Trace the circuit of faulty equipment and do the section wise analysis and find out the faults and list out the trouble shooting procedures needed.
- Test and calibrate a given instrument.
- Identify the major subsections of an instrument and assemble it and test and demonstrate the working.
- Test and rectify faults of power sockets/ power supply section/ voltage regulator section
