INGENIEUR
Installation and checking of medical equipment
known as “ technician engineers ”, a designation introduced in the 1960s .
In the United Kingdom , an incorporated engineer is accepted as a “ professional engineer ”, registered by the EngC , although the term “ professional engineer ” has no legal meaning in the UK and there are no restrictions on the practice . Anyone in the UK can call themselves an “ engineer ” or “ professional engineer ” without any qualifications or proven competencies in engineering and most UK skilled trades are sometimes referred to as “ professional ” or “ accredited ” engineers . Examples are “ Registered Gas Engineer ” ( gas installer ) or “ Professional Telephone Engineer ” ( phone line installer or fault diagnosis ).
Incorporated engineers are recognised internationally through the Sydney Accord academic agreement as engineering technologists . One of the professional titles for engineers in the United Kingdom , recognised in the Washington Accord , is the Chartered Engineer . The incorporated engineer is a professional engineer as declared by the EngC of the United Kingdom and the European definition as demonstrated by the prescribed title under 2005 / 36 / EC as an “ engineer ”. The incorporated engineer operates autonomously and directs activities independently . They do not necessarily need the
support of Chartered Engineers because they are often acknowledged as full engineers in the UK ( but not in Canada or the U . S .). The United Kingdom incorporated engineer may also contribute to the design of new products and systems .
Biomedical Technologist - Learn . org
A biomedical technologist , also known as a biomedical equipment technician , repairs and maintains medical equipment . Biomedical technologists must be able to install equipment and test the parts to ensure it works efficiently . To keep up with how the equipment works , technologists must attend training sessions and read instruction manuals . Often they will have to show others how to use the equipment . Biomedical technologists are also responsible for replacing parts in medical equipment .
Biomedical Technologists need to be familiar with hydraulic , electric and mechanical systems related to medical tools and equipment , such as anaesthesia distribution machines or blood pressure cuffs . The responsibilities of a biomedical technologist or biomedical equipment technician generally include installation , testing and repair of equipment , as well as training and ensuring the safety of users .
