I seldom get called to portable equipment that needs a bench repair. As stated staff usually get another device.There are two patient data management systems (PDMS) and four patient monitoring systems that I usually get called to. The PDMS require applications in the database to be restarted to get the service running. This is an IT job and may be considered 'mission creep' for an EBME Dept, but as we move towards paperless technologies it appears to be the trend.With the modular patient monitors it can be hard for staff to figure out which part is faulty so they need someone to fault find.
