Patient Monitor Maintenance

The monitor can synchronously and continuously monitor the patient's ECG, blood pressure, respiration, body temperature and other parameters, providing medical staff with a comprehensive, intuitive and timely grasp of the patient's condition. As the hospital gradually moves towards modernization, More monitors will enter the clinic and become the most commonly used medical equipment in the ward. Therefore, it is particularly important to maintain and maintain the monitor. Only by doing a good job in maintenance and maintenance can the monitor be in good working condition. ;At the same time, it can reduce the failure rate, extend the life of various sensors, components and the whole machine, thereby reducing the treatment cost of the hospital. Summarizing the past work experience, the maintenance and maintenance of the monitor mainly include the following aspects:

1.Monitors usually work continuously for a long time, and it is easy to cause premature aging or even damage to internal parts due to high temperature inside the machine. Therefore, we must clean the inside and outside of the machine to ensure that the machine has good heat dissipation and ventilation. In a few months, check the filter on the main unit and clean the dust on it. At the same time, check the surface of the operation panel and display. Use absolute alcohol to remove the dirt on it to avoid corrosion of these important parts. The casing of the machine must be disassembled every six months to a year to remove dust inside the machine. While dust is removed, intuitive methods such as "seeing, smelling, and touching" can be used to inspect the modules and components in the machine. 

2.Maintenance and maintenance of the sensor: Due to the characteristics of the sensor itself and the part of the detected patient is often in motion, it is an easily damaged part and an important part that is more expensive. In order to extend their service life and reduce treatment costs, we should do a good job of maintaining them. Communicate with medical staff frequently to guide them in the correct operation and maintenance of monitors and sensors. Do not fold or pull the sensor transmission wire; do not drop or touch the sensor probes such as blood oxygen saturation probes, temperature probes, and invasive blood pressure probes. For the non-invasive blood pressure cuff, when it is not tied to the patient, the host cannot perform measurement at this time, so as not to damage the inflated airbag. For monitors that need to be monitored for a long time and do not need to monitor blood oxygen saturation, you can turn off this function by adjusting the system configuration. If the machine has this setting or unplug the interface connecting the blood oxygen saturation to the host, the monitor Generally, each sensor is connected through an interface to extend the service life of this type of sensor. The sensor probe is easily stained with various dirts such as sweat and blood stains. In order to avoid corrosion of the probe and affect the measurement, the probe should be cleaned regularly according to the method provided in the user manual.
