Course Overview

Module 1 (2 Weeks Online): 

Students will develop a comprehensive understanding of infusion devices, including the fundamental principles of infusion delivery, and the differences between modality types based on need. They will learn how infusion devices operate, including their order of operations, function, and safety features, as well as the installation requirements. Students will be proficient in performing routine maintenance tasks, identifying and troubleshooting common problems, and adhering to regulatory standards while effectively monitoring the infusion devices. 

Module 2 (1 Week in Person): 

This hands-on module provides medical equipment technician students with practical experience in the operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of general systems. Through a series of interactive workshops, practical demonstrations, and lab sessions, students will gain the necessary skills to ensure the optimal performance and safety compliance of these critical infusion delivery systems.

Prerequisites

None.

Module 2: 

Enabling Learning Objective: 

Students will demonstrate knowledge of infusion delivery devices commonly found in the healthcare environment. They will explain how infusion devices operate, including the order of operation, modality-specific procedures, and safety features, as well as the installation requirements such as power and maintenance requirements. 

Terminal Learning Objectives: 

Students will demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the operational principles of infusion delivery devices and perform operational check-out procedures according to service manuals and ISO standards.  

Demonstrate a basic understanding of the operational principles of infusion device delivery. Demonstrate operational check out procedures per service manual and ISO standards. 

Students will perform preventative maintenance on infusion delivery devices. This involves checking and replacing parts and testing the effectiveness of infusion devices. Students will also inspect and maintain system components to ensure they are functioning within manufacturer specifications and industry standards. 

Students will demonstrate an Electrical Safety Test (EST) within industry standards. 

Students will be given an operational checklist and PM (Preventative Maintenance) procedures for each of the equipment in the module. Students will check units’ operational checklist to ensure proper operation as well as conduct a PM checklist. Students will also be given malfunctions “bug” inserted in the equipment and troubleshoot using service manual to diagnose and fix unit back into operational standards.
