You will notice in the above photo, we put a little time into some special features on our training unit. The original configuration had no power switch, so we added one. For your viewing pleasure we added a window to the .2 micron filter housing that is used for 3 rd party filter manufactures. In addition, both the A and B side alcohol and detergent pumps can be removed by taking out only one screw. The video displays on each side are for the student to look at while performing a PM on the unit. They can also be used to show the PM procedure being performed on a video that can be made of your staff while they are doing their PMs. We have also taken many photos of this unit while doing a complete annual PM which are available for viewing as well. Sure this took a little time to complete, but the time is well spent. This unit allows any student to spend more time learning the theory of operation and hands-on practical service applications, as you will notice you can observe every single component in the unit while it is operating. Perhaps the OEM’s aren’t putting as much money into delivering high quality comprehensive biomedical training to the industry as they should be? As a community, we must bring more innovation to the table within the training arena and remember that our first priority for any in house maintenance team is to reduce equipment downtime, so the Doctors and Clinical staff can better serve our patients.
