As part of the Biomedical Engineering Department's vision to bridge the gap between academic study and practical application, students conducted a specialized field visit to endoscopy units. The purpose of the visit was to conduct detailed field surveys on gastrointestinal and surgical endoscopy equipment.
Activity Objectives:
• Technical Performance Evaluation: Gathering field data on the efficiency of the endoscopy equipment in use and its responsiveness to the medical staff's needs.
• Maintenance Needs Analysis: Identifying common technical problems encountered by engineers and users to ensure diagnostic accuracy.
• Work Environment Study: Observing safe handling practices for equipment in operating rooms and endoscopy units to ensure patient and equipment safety.
Supervised by: Assistant Lecturer Hiba Dhiaa Abdul-Amir
The visit included operating rooms equipped with state-of-the-art surgical lighting systems and anesthesia machines connected to monitoring systems. Students:
1. Distributed scientific questionnaires targeting resident engineers and specialist physicians.
2. Examined the mechanical and electronic components of the fiber optics in the endoscopy equipment. 3. Discussing the technical sterilization standards for sensitive equipment to ensure its sustainability.
