Bioman, as we have come to respect, has clearly highlighted the blunt reality of what we all dread.
“What the scenario would be if we were called to a coroners inquest to give evidence.”
The reasoning behind my previous suggestion:-
“I suggest the introduction of equipment libraries, where the majority of the hospital's medical equipment is routinely visually inspected be skilled or semiskilled staff, would strengthen your case for rationalised maintenance schedules.”
was that a frequent/routine quality inspection by a skilled/semiskilled MTO was a superior ppm maintenance schedule. e.g. The manufacturer recommends a six monthly ppm check on an infusion pump. We provide one annual ppm check and 6 to 24 quality visual inspections.
