摘要:

TheJournal of Clinical Engineeringhas conducted its fifth survey of the salaries paid toClinical EngineersandBiomedical Equipment Techniciansin U.S. hospitals. This paper reports the salary and work responsibility data obtained from 1,453 professionals in relationship to: Certification; Region of the U.S.; Teaching Versus Nonteaching Facilities; Years of Experience; Education; Union Membership; and Gender, Data are included on Wage Increases and Job Responsibilities. All data are as of 12/31/89.The average BMET I has 3.3 years of experience and earns $19,394 ± $4,144 (Std. Dev.). The average BMET Il has 6.4 years of experience and earns $26,166 ± $4,900. The average BMET Ill has 11.7 years of experience and earns $31,334 ± $4,977. The average BMET Supervisor has 12.9 years of experience and earns $35,371 ± $6,416. The average Clinical Engineer has 9.5 years of experience and earns $36,971 ± $7,515. CE Supervisors are the highest paid in the field with an average 13.3 years of experience and an average salary of $46,265 ± $11,115. Wages remain the highest on the West Coast and lowest in the Southeast. From 1988 to 1989, the wage ranges for all job types except BMET Is increased; BMET IIIs, + 1.9%; BMET Ills, +3.0%; BMET Supervisors, +3.2%; CEs, +3.9%; and CE Supervisors, +1.8%. The highest quartile of CE Supervisors now earns between $52,000 and $95,000 per year. While certified individuals earn $521 to $4,953 more than noncertified, this is attributable in part to years of experience.

摘要:

A comprehensive equipment policy was established for the health system of Sao paulo State, Brazil. Research, development and regulation issues were integrated with all phases of the equipment life cycle, including: planning, procurement, acceptance testing, commissioning, maintenance, repair, refitting, and decommissioning, This policy was implemented by a multidisciplinary group, which advised and coordinated planning and procurement, created a technology management and maintenance network composed of clinical engineering teams and reference centers, and worked closely with manufacturers, universities and research institutes to improve the quality and increases the variety of domestic medical products in order to substitute for imported devices.

摘要:

Two incidents of oxygen contamination. in the hospital medical air supply occurred on consecutive weekends. This paper describes those incidents and the investigation that followed. The cause of the contamination was determined to be faulty, check values in some Bird air/oxygen blenders. The investigation of the incidents was hindered because the conventional blender test methods did not detect the problem. Only after monitoring the medical air and oxygen pressures and simulating the real conditions did the cause of the problem surface.

摘要:

This paper describes ECG electrical interference present during extracorporeal perfusion for cardiac surgery, specifically under atmospheric conditions of low relative humidity. This interference was traced to an interaction between the polyvinyl-chloride polymer tubing nd the motion of roller pumps used during the cardiopulmonary bypass procedure. The possible causes of this interference are considered, static electricity or a piezoelectric effect, along with methods of its elimination or prevention.
