BMET 114 Biomedical Device Fundamentals
Students will apply basic concepts of physics to the operation and interrelationships between electrical, mechanical, fluidic, and optical systems used in bio-medical devices. Students will be introduced to the basic components of various medical devices and instruments, their relationships, theory of operation, functions, and clinical applications.
Hours Weekly
3 hours lecture, 3 hours lab
Course Objectives
- Identify the names and functions of various components found in a variety of biomedical devices.
- Explain the theory of operation of various medical apparatus in terms of component relationships and the basic physics governing their operation.
- Analyze the operation and performance of systems (pneumatic, hydraulic, drive-mechanism, etc.) and understand how they are used in clinical equipment.
- Perform teardown and re-assembly of various biomedical devices in the course of repair and service.
- Demonstrate the proper and safe use of various medical apparatus.
- Conduct equipment safety and preventive maintenance inspection (PMI) and prepare written service reports.
- Define and demonstrate preventive maintenance procedures with respect to biomedical apparatus.
- State the purpose of regulations imposed upon medical apparatus and identify the major organizations that write and enforce the regulations.
- Identify and interpret rules and regulations governing the profession and adhere to professional standards of conduct.
