maintaining it (the training unit is not for
clinicaluse). First, I purchased a working unit.
Next, I established a base framework, to
support the DSD 201, which I had built out of
square tubing (mild steel was used). This would
provide a place to drop the reservoirs down into,
as well as give a mounting base for wheels, and
support the entire training unit redesign.
After that, I had to make this unit friendlier for
the biomedical repair technician, I was going to
have to reorient all of the components so that
they faced forward. I would also have to move
the disinfectant reservoirs down into the new
After this, the components needed to be put

back onto their respective sides now.
started to get creative you could say.
Then, the DSD 201 needed to be put on a
freshly painted base, and wheels must be added
so it could be move around easily. We wanted
our design to be as green as possible so we
used the cut outs fro m the sides for the shelves
on each end of the base. The metal base is
also scrap from my friends fabrication shop. We
put a shelf on the bottom of the base since we
had plans to drop the disinfectant reservoirs
Next, it appeared that the A and B side panels down through the bottom of the DSD’s original
could be put on hinges and could be oriented to floor.

as you see above. I would be adding PM table
tops as well, to each end of the training unit.
