Servicing Servicing of the phototherapy equipment is to ensure that the radiant power, or irradiation, of the equipment is at its optimum, an Olympic Bili-Meter is used. The Bili-Meter spectroradiometer measures the irradiance of the phototherapy lights. Servicing the BiliBed consists of setting the timer that records the therapy session to zero and placing the Bili-Meter on top of the bed to measure the irradiance. If the irradiance measured is below 30, the fluorescent tube has to be replaced. The condition of the phototherapy unit, plastic cover and the bassinet is also maintained. Servicing the phototherapy lamp involves placing the Bili-Meter about 25cm away from the lamp to measure the irradiance. Terumo Terufusion Infusion Pump …show more content…
The IDA checks the occlusion and flow rate average of the infusion pump, while the ESA checks if there is any leakage current. A checklist is provided containing the supposed range that the readings should fall in. Occlusion alarm test 1. After turning on the pump, press the [RATE/LIMIT] button and then the first [DOWN] button to obtain [----] on the [RATE/LIMIT] display. This is to set the delivery limit to no limit. 2. Press the [RATE/LIMIT] button again and then hold the [RATE/LIMIT] button. [PrES] will appear on the [RATE/LIMIT] display. While holding, press the first [DOWN] button which will change the occlusion detection pressure level between High (H), Middle (M), and Low (L). 3. After setting the occlusion level, set the delivery rate to 200 mL/h. Start the test and the alarm will go off when there is an occlusion. Press the [STOP/SILENCE] button to silence the pump. 4. Ensure that the value in the IDA is in the range. Repeat the same steps for all occlusion levels. Delivery rate …show more content…
After setting the delivery limit to no limit, set the occlusion level to Middle (M) or Low (L). If set to High (H), the pressure inside the tubing may build up to a high level when the infusion line is occluded. 2. Set the delivery rate to 25 mL/h, or other values if specified in the checklist. If 'PRIME' is indicated in the IDA, press the [PURGE] button and hold it until the IDA indicates that the test can
Finally, place the 96 well plates in a CO2 incubator (37ºC) for 24 hours and read on a florescent
1. Move the lid of the container up or down. Record the resulting volume and pressure
If a specific piece of equipment is necessary for patient care, the manager must have the long-range plan for the life of the instrument and then plan annually to account for the costs associated with the equipment. The manager should present the budget using both qualitative and quantitative
In Figure 2, the lower meniscus lies below the 3 mL line and 4 minor gradations that signify 0.1 values. Estimating the uncertain digit to be 0.04 mL, the reading we record for this particular buret is 3.44 mL.
Max’s SBR level of 300mmol/L at 60 hours old requires phototherapy treatment according to the SAPPG hour specific bilirubin chart (Image 2) (SAMNCN 2010). Following the recommendation of the ISBAR, phototherapy using a bilibed is to be commenced on the early shift. Seeing as Max is otherwise well, it is appropriate for him to remain in the open bassinet with correct monitoring whilst receiving phototherapy treatment via a bilibed (Flinders Women & Children Division 2014; QMNCGP 2012). Important points to consider when caring for a baby receiving phototherapy treatment include: ensuring correct skin care – washing with water only, no oils or creams used on exposed skin, ensuring the neonate is naked aside from a nappy and eye protection pads to maximise skin exposure to the lights and ensuring adequate hydration by monitoring fluid intake, urine output and observing stool consistency (RPAHNC 2005; Maisels, J 2006). Max’s SBR should be rechecked according to local protocol but generally 6 hours after phototherapy was commenced to assess the effectiveness of the phototherapy (QMNCGP 2012). It is vital to ensure phototherapy lights are

Follows efficient, logical sequence; balances screening/diagnostic steps for problem; informs patient; sensitive to patient’s comfort, modesty.
1 ml of water should be added to the first test tube and make a note. In the second test tube, 1 ml of methyl alcohol should be added. In the third test tube, 1 ml of hexane must be added. Lastly, the fourth test tube will be a control.
Remove foam plug from the inoculate flask and pour it into a cuvette. Incubate it at 37°C and the optical density readings at 600nm every 10-15 mins. Pour into the
The leveling bulb must be leveled with the amount of water in the buret at all times. Timing should begin after 2 ml of oxygen has been produced and must be recorded at 2 ml intervals until 14 ml of oxygen has accumulated. After recording the time, the first part of the experiment is now complete.
1. Maintain a constant water level (head) difference between the two sides of the tank as shown in the diagram by allowing water to overflow through the overflow and outflow tubes. Measure the water level (head) difference.
