Basic Maintenance Tips to Extend Lifespan of Medical Devices

Hospitals around the globe are having increase in patient inflow. Consequently, there is a rising need for maintaining hospital equipment and providing improved diagnostic facilities. There are various forms of maintenance used in medical facilities, this forms of maintenance falls under two types of maintenance which are; Preventive maintenance and corrective maintenance.

The purpose of preventive maintenance of medical devices is to care and service equipment, by providing systematic inspection, detection for the devices to function in its optimum operating condition, to avoid downtime while corrective maintenance is been achieved with immediate response given to a failed devices when detected. The device is immediately sent down for repairs to avoid more damages to the device.

However, for a piece of medical or diagnostic equipment to live through this period without malfunction, certain maintenance guidelines must be followed.

  • Coordinating service schedules

Numerous devices are been used in medical facilities, for maintenance of these devices to be properly achieved because not all medical assets have the same preventive maintenance needs.  , we have to draw out schedules for the devices, it could be every 3days it all depends to avoid sudden breakdown of devices.

  • Obtaining manufacturer support

There have been situations where medical technicians were not familiar or able to detect the cause or malfunctioning of a device, with this the need to obtain a manufacturer support is necessary to help you in getting your device back to a working condition.

Device data’s or warrant cards of the devices should be kept properly in other to gain access to the manufacturer for repair purpose.

  • Train and retain staffs

Training medical staffs on how to properly maintain medical devices is very key. A staff that is not trained on how to use or operate a medical device could either malfunction the equipment or not be able to use it the way it should.

  • Sterilize, disinfect  and turn off devices when not in use

Devices should properly be taken care off because they are used on patients to avoid transmitting diseases, sterilize and disinfect devices before and after use make sure device is turned off to prolong its life span.

demineralized, deionized and distilled water in Nigeria

Are you thinking of buying quality demineralized, Deionized and distilled water in Nigeria? look no further, you can buy Epoxy Oilserv Nigeria Limited partnered with GZ Industrial Supplies to sell products in their industrial supplies online shop also known as (AKA) GZ INDUSTRIAL MEGASTORE, We are capable of meeting your treated water requirements.

Product quality Assurance;

Epoxy Oilserv Nigeria limited is the industry-leading producer of demineralized deionized, and distilled water for industrial applications in Nigeria, Our Ultra-modern plant is capable of producing 15,000 liters of treated water per hour and managed by the industry-leading team. Quality is our watchword, all our processes and procedures are in direct compliance to international standards.

We have warehouses for product storage across major cities within the country with well-oragnized distribution channels to get our products to clients. Our products are used for several industrial applications and listed below are some of the industrial applications for our popular brand EPOCHEM demineralized, deionized and distilled water.

Demineralized, deionized, and distilled water share one thing in common in that they are all types of purified water, meaning that they have undergone some treatment process to remove impurities and make the treated water suitable for given industrial applications. While they are of similarly high quality, the distinction between the three lies in their treatment process, production and applications.

Applications of demineralized, deionised and distilled water

Demineralised wateris specially purified water that is completely free or had most of its mineral removed. Demineralisation is essentially removing all the minerals that can be found in natural water. This process is usually done when the water will be used for chemical processes and the minerals present may interfere with the other chemicals. All chemist and beauty products have to be made with demineralised water for this reason.

Deionized water is a type of water where all the ions are completely removed, and it has no charge. It is free from all charged atoms or molecules (ions). All the cations and anions present as contaminants in the water has been removed thereby increasing the ionic purity and electrical resistance of the water. Ion exchange resins are used to exchange non-desirable cations and anions with hydrogen and hydroxyl respectively forming pure water (H20), which is not an ion. Deionization does not remove molecular species (e.g. sugar) or uncharged organic particles (most bacteria, viruses).

Deionized water can be created by taking conventional water and letting it exposed to electrically charged resins that will bind and attract to salts, and remove them from the water. The purity of deionized water depends on the source water. Deionized water is used when a soft solvent is needed.  Other applications of demineralised and deionized water are:

  • High pressure boiler feed
  • Laser cutting
  • Stream irons and any other stream applications
  • Pharmaceutical manufacturing
  • Industrial uses for engineering and scientific purposes
  • Can be used by computer chip manufacturers and other microelectronics
  • Automotive uses such as lead acid batteries and cooling systems
  • Aquariums
  • Fire extinguishers
  • Cooling applications where it is important to avoid depositing minerals
  • Many chemistry experiment involving ionic compounds
  • Washing glassware especially the final rinse
  • Solvent preparation
  • Deionized water is not used in situations involving long term contact with metals
  • Calibration standards.

Distilled wateris a type of water that is purified using distillation. The source water for distillation could be tap water, but spring water is used most often. Usually, the water is boiled and the steam is collected and condensed toyield distilled water.

Most minerals and certain other impurities are left behind, but the purity of the source water is important because some impurities (e.g., volatile organics, mercury) will vaporize along with the water. Distillation removes salts and particulates.

Applications of distilled water: 

  • Distilled water is the best water to use in canning fruits and vegetables. Aside from the fact that it keeps fruits and vegetables in top shape by maintaining their colour and taste. It also prevents build up and cloudiness that usually happens when any other water is used.
  • Distilled water is perfect for making soaps because it has no chemicals that might only decrease the effectiveness of the soap.
  • Distilled water is safe to use in cooling down engines and cleaning since it is free of compounds.
  • Cosmetic companies use distilled water in their products to ensure that there are no unwanted contaminants within them.
  • Solvent to prepare a solution-In order to achieve an accurate result in experiments, distilled water is often used as it does not contain any minerals or contaminants that may affect the experiment outcome.
  • Analytical blank
  • Calibration standard and equipment sterilization.

Distilled water is preferable when cleaning medical tools which are used for medical procedures, performed on patients because it does not contain minerals that can cause spotting. 

Demineralized water, distilled and deionized water are very essential in several industries as listed above.  You can shop online GZ INDUSTRIAL SUPPLIES for all your industrial materials, tools etc and feel free to connect with us on www.epoxyoil.com  for more details.

China in new Shale Oil discovery

China in new Shale Oil discovery

An oil discovery in a remote corner of northwestern China could trigger a surge in shale drilling, benefiting service companies and providing a needed output boost for the world’s biggest importer, according to analysts at Morgan Stanley. 

PetroChina has achieved daily output of 733 bbl oil at a test well in the Jimsar field in Xinjiang province, suggesting that shale oil has strong commercial potential in the nation for the first time, analysts including Andy Meng said in a Feb. 18 note.

China has had some success in producing shale gas, but advancing on shale oil would be a particular help to the world’s largest crude importer, which has seen output decline since 2015 even as the country’s leadership extols the virtues of energy self-sufficiency. Still, it’s unlikely China will be able to scale the heights of U.S. shale, which accounts for about half of American production, Morgan Stanley said.

The bank estimates shale oil output in China could reach about 100,000 to 200,000 bpd by 2025 — still a sliver of total output. By comparison, U.S. shale fields produced 8.3 MMbpd in February.

Nevertheless, excitement over shale could spur more spending and boost revenue for the oilfield service companies that will be called on to handle the higher workloads, Morgan Stanley said. Yantai Jereh Oilfield Services Group, which is up 31% this year, and SPT Energy Group, which has risen 18%, are among the potential beneficiaries, it said.

“We believe the Jimsar shale oil discovery is likely to trigger China’s shale oil revolution,” Meng said in the report. “We expect a further capex rise in 2019, which could make onshore oilfield services names the key beneficiaries.”

While Jimsar is China’s first shale oil find, the country has been drilling shale gas for years. But difficult geology and restrictions that keep drilling in the hands of the state-owned giants have slowed development. While the U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates that China has nearly twice as much underground shale gas as the U.S., the U.S. produced about 639 Bcm of the fuel in 2017, compared to about 9 billion in China.
