What piece of Biomedical Equipment is your least and most favourite to work on?
Happy HTM week! As this week we are running blogs all week long featuring HTMs and Biomedical Engineers, I thought I’d ask you all, what is your least and most favourite piece of equipment to work on and why? (If you can try and avoid mentioning any specific manufacturers that would be great).

Twenty five years in the field, and the least favorite piece of medical equipment would have to be the surgical waste removal system. The smell, the jamming pumps, occlusions, biohazard contact … I have volunteered to go to many schools, and never refused to work on anything … , but I don’t volunteer for these! LOL 🤮

Thanks Paul, I wasn’t expecting an answer like that.

I enjoy working on ventilators and anesthesia machines personally because I feel like I have the most impact on patient care by maintaining this equipment. Least favorite is probably sterilizers because of burning yourself it sucks and they are normally a pain to work on literally lol.

Thanks Joshua. I can see that working on ventilators and anaesthesia machines would be very rewarding.
Getting burnt on hot equipment not such a great experience. Wonder what drew you to work in Hot Springs Arkansas!😅

I was born and raised here in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Served 11 years in the Arkansas Army National Guard. Also met my wife in Hot Springs. One of the hospitals I currently work at most of the time and manage as the HTM Program Coordinator for GE Healthcare I was actually born in.

It looks like a lovely place to live. I’ve been to Steamboat Springs in Colorado, but the springs at Hot Springs look to be on another level!

The most unpleasant task is soldering a copper tube of a low-pressure refrigerant circuit in a cadaver refrigerator, with decomposing corpses behind you. That cleaning a leaking hematology analyzer or surgical suction seems like a trifle.
