A practical guide to the maintenance and repair of essential
laboratory and hospital equipment. Intended for use in institutions
that do not have specially trained technicians or engineers, the
book responds to the situation, frequently seen in developing
countries, where much of the equipment is imported and adequate
information on maintenance and repair is rarely provided by
suppliers. With these special needs in mind, the manual aims to
help staff using specific types of equipment to understand basic
principles of construction and operation, adopt good working
practices, avoid common errors, perform routine maintenance, and
spot the early signs of defects or deterioration. Advice on
equipment repair concentrates on common causes of problems that can
be solved without expertise in engineering. Throughout the manual,
line drawings illustrate features of construction and design, while
numerous checklists offer advice on periodic inspection and
cleaning, good working practices, and the essential do's, don ts,
must's, and never's of routine operation and maintenance.
Information ranges from the steps to follow when recharging
batteries, through advice on how to protect microscopes in hot
climates, to instructions for changing a blown fuse in an
ultrasound scanner. Basic safety procedures, for protecting staff
as well as patients, are also described. The most extensive chapter
covers the maintenance and repair of basic laboratory equipment,
moving from autoclaves and incubators, to cell counters and systems
for water purification. The remaining chapters describe the correct
use, maintenance, and repair of diagnostic equipment, anaesthetic
and resuscitation equipment, operating room equipment, and
ultrasound and X-ray diagnostic equipment."
