Many a times, valuable medical equipment is lying idle in a hospital or healthcare centre for want of simple repairs or replacement of defective part. This affects the quality of healthcare being provided in that hospital/centre adversely.
In order to improve the quality of healthcare, it is imperative that medical equipment are operational all the time. This can be achieved by having a ready availability of technically trained healthcare professionals to carry out timely repair, service and maintenance of the equipment.
Basic components of bio-medical instruments, bio-electric signals & recording electrodes, transducers, recording and display devices. Patient care and monitoring systems, cardiovascular measurements-blood pressure, blood flow, cardiac output, heart sounds etc.; instrumentation for respiratory and nervous systems, analysis of EEG, ECG, EMG, EOG and action potentials, non- invasive diagnostic measurements - temperature, ultrasonic diagnosis, CAT scan techniques, sensory measurements-motor response, analysis of behaviour etc. biotelemetry, biofeedback, clinical laboratory instruments, X-ray diagnosis. Recent advances in biomedical instrumentation- microprocessor based systems, lasers & optical fiber based systems.
