The other "answer" would seem to be to carry Indemnity Insurance.

Imagine the scenario:-

Geoff (humble tech) to Boss ... "Er, it looks like I've knackered that defib, then, Boss"! frown

Boss to Geoff ... "Are you £££ insured?"

"Errm , why, yes ... but what about the patients?"

Boss ... "Oh, that's alright, then" (silence about the patients)

PS: more from the humble tech:- swapping (expensive) boards in ultrasound kit is great fun ... you generally end up with more faulty boards than you started with! Hey, ho.


If you don't inspect ... don't expect.
