The structure of a maintenance procedure is important for the correct execution of the maintenance. You can use existing protocols as a starting point, or you can build the protocol from the ground up.
Procedure properties
First, enter the name of the procedure, the category, the type of maintenance, and a description. Also, the active folder where the test results are stored. This is done in CSV, PDF, or a OneQA extension. Add an image of the category for which this protocol is used. Then save this data with “save”. Of course, you can set the name and logo of the hospital or company. This can be shown on the measurement report.
Procedure components
- Test activity: records who performs the test and when.
- Work order ID: here you can enter a job order if desired.
- Service type: indication for preventive or corrective maintenance.
- Asset information: procedures are linked to “assets”. This part of the procedure displays information about the linked “asset”.
- Test Device Information: here OneQA displays information about the measuring instrument being used.
Test library
Use components from the “test library” to add to the procedure. You cannot change fixed components, but you can change all other components. You can set whether it is a mandatory test component. If necessary, add a new “test section” to group test components. Interim messages can also be set, for example with instructions for performing the test.
An important possibility is to insert a question in the procedure: checklist, numerical or an open entry. In addition, components are available for electrical safety and functional control with the defibrillator tester or ventilator tester.
Electrical safety
In this section, you set the properties of the electrical safety test. Consider:
- Which class does the device concern?
- How do you set the polarity switching?
- Is optimization of the electrical safety measurements desired?
Above all, you set the standard that you use for the electrical safety measurement here. Based on this, OneQA automatically sets the relevant test components, with limits where possible.
Functional test
In OneQA, you can also include the functional check above the other test components, such as measurements with the Impulse defibrillator tester or the VT ventilator testers. OneQA also controls these measuring instruments, reads the measured values, and adds them to the measurement report.
