Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Certificate)

  • Standard medical devices such as infusion pumps and patient monitors — test and calibrate independently using manufacturers' manuals and hand or power tools in a hospital biomedical shop.
  • Preventive maintenance schedules — plan and execute routine service tasks including cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment with minimal oversight across an assigned equipment portfolio.
  • Test and analysis instruments — apply systematically to inspect and troubleshoot malfunctioning medical equipment, following manufacturer specifications in a clinical environment.
  • Maintenance, repair, and update records — maintain accurately in facilities management or spreadsheet software, ensuring compliance with departmental documentation standards.
  • Defective components including transformers and circuit boards — remove, repair, or replace during equipment disassembly using appropriate hand and power tools in a repair facility.
  • Electrical and mechanical safety checks — conduct on medical equipment and structural environments, identifying hazards and recommending corrective actions to department supervisors.
  • Medical equipment installation — complete independently for moderate-complexity devices, coordinating with clinical staff to ensure correct placement and operation.
  • Excess or in-use medical equipment — evaluate condition and serviceability, classifying items in accordance with facility regulations and disposal guidelines.
  • Troubleshooting techniques — apply deductive reasoning to isolate root causes of equipment failures across familiar device categories in a healthcare setting.
  • Electronic mail and office suite software — use to communicate repair status, schedule preventive maintenance, and respond to work orders within a biomedical services department.
