Training activity information
Details
Perform routine maintenance and calibration of the equipment used in anorectal manometry
Type
Entrustable training activity (ETA)
Evidence requirements
Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee repeatedly, consistently, and effectively over time, in a range of situations. This may include occasions where the trainee has not successfully achieved the outcome of the activity themselves. For example, because it was not appropriate to undertake the task in the circumstances or the trainees recognised their own limitations and sought help or advice to ensure the activity reached an appropriate conclusion.
Reflection at multiple timepoints on the trainee learning journey for this activity.
Considerations
- Manufacturer requirements for routine maintenance and calibration of local anorectal manometry equipment
- Local and national health and safety policies and procedures
- Local requirements for the safety testing and maintenance of equipment
- Catheter types and manometry systems
- Troubleshooting equipment issues
- Identifying and resolving equipment issues that may compromise the investigation
- Requirements for equipment maintenance records
- Safe laboratory practices
- Quality assurance procedures and their application
