Overview
The Biomedical Equipment Technician Certificate program provides a comprehensive overview of the biomedical equipment and healthcare technology management industry. Students study hardware, software, and troubleshooting for medical devices. Students will apply skills acquired throughout their coursework in basic electronics, schematics, pneumatics, hydraulics, customer service, environment of care (EOC), and troubleshooting. Students garner the skills and working knowledge to perform medical equipment maintenance services characterized by repair or module replacement; repair of general medical equipment malfunctions; adjustment of medical equipment utilizing standard and special-purpose tools and electronic test equipment; conduct preventive maintenance checks and services; and conduct calibration, verification, certification, and electrical safety tests.
About this course:
Maintaining and troubleshooting sophisticated medical instruments is not an easy task. In order to deliver effective care, the technician requires the knowledge of different aspects of biology and engineering. The different devices work in so many ways and the literature about repair and troubleshooting is often hard to come by. It can be quite frustrating to search for solutions every time the operator encounters a problem. There is added pressure because the availability of medical devices is critical for therapeutic and diagnostic care. The longer a device stays out of operation, the slower the hospital would be able to deliver care to the patients.
This course provides a compilation of the technique’s hospitals use to effectively maintain and troubleshoot the medical devices so that repair time is reduced, and the availability and safety of the medical devices is improved. Completing this course adds a complementary skill set to prior competence of the learner to perform maintenance routines and diagnose problems in sophisticated equipment with care. A faster service routine will help smoothen the process flow of the hospital and help extend the care to more patients. On a personal level, the learner can rely on the knowledge gained from this course as ‘the blueprint’ for whenever they have to maintain/troubleshoot any medical device.
