There's nothing new under the sun, as they say, Mate. The idea was not particularly well received by the forum last time, however!

Surely we can list more recurring faults for the Baxter Colleague such as:-
Pump head failures.
The screen being blank (because some wally decided to put the control on the back of the handle).
The unit will not turn on (because the pump head is not in position).
The staff can't use the unit (even though there is nothing wrong with it).
The batteries don't last.
Sorry another rant.....

... and one which I'm sure that Baxter (one of the sponsors of this website) will be so glad to hear!

The constant alarming when someone prangs one!
i.e. the classic 0400 AM phone call to the on-call tech "Our Colleague pump is constantly alarming and we can’t silence it?"
Techs reply, "please wrap a blanket around it and stick it in the storeroom, someone will look at it in the morning!"

... not really a laughing matter, Mate. But it does tend to support my belief that large hospitals (ie those with large biomed departments) should be afforded 24-hour cover. Not on-call, but a tech on site at all times of day and night! Can I volunteer (...that would be a laugh)?

What? 24-hour cover ... or me volunteering? Ha, ha.
It all depends whether the department is really serious about providing a quality service, in my opinion. It's something that I (with others, of course) have done in the past. What's the problem?

Sorry I forgot the constant alarm, but if i think about the Colleague for to long i remember why we standardised on a different manufacturer.
