Competency information
Details
Set up appropriate equipment in preparation for each type of procedure, including resuscitation equipment where appropriate
Calibrate where necessary
Considerations
- Range of equipment used, relative merits and principles of measurement, including:
- recognition of the errors or potential risks of using defective equipment in clinical practice and the implications of use
- the application of relevant troubleshooting skills
- identification of common faults and remedial action
- current safety standards, including safety testing and routine maintenance
- requirements for set-up and calibration specific to that procedure
- preparation of life support equipment, where appropriate
