TRANSCRIPT
Adi has to build an ark. He is told to collect every single
animal on earth, not just two of each. Every animal boards the
ark, except for one. Which animal does not board the ark?
There is a river you must cross. However, the river is inhabited
by crocodiles. How do you cross the river without being
killed by the crocodiles?
How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator? Answer : You open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe, and lose the door. This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an over
complicated way
How do you put an elephant in to a fridge? Answer: Open the refrigerator take out the giraffe, put in the elephant,
and close the door This tests your ability to think about the repercussions of your action
Adi has to build an ark. He is told to collect every single animal on earth, not
just two of each. Every animal boards the ark, except for one. Which animal does not board the ark?
Answer: The elephant, as it is still in the refrigerator. This question tests your memory.
There is a river you must cross. However, the river is inhabited by crocodiles.
How do you cross the river without being killed by the crocodiles? Answer : You simply swim across. There is no danger as the crocodiles are
on Adi’s ark. This question tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.
WH – questions Wh-questions begin with what, when, where, who, whom, which, whose, why
and how. We use them to ask for information
TIPS…
One of the essential elements of a quality management system
Proper management of the equipment in the laboratory is necessary to ensure
accurate, reliable, and timely testing
WHY EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT?
PLANNING should go into equipment management !
Equipment Management begins from……??
QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Elements should be considered:
Selection and purchasing-to purchase or to lease? High end QTOF, LC, NMR, GPC ex: column
Installation – what are the requirements?
Calibration and performance evaluation – What is needed so that the instrument operating correctly?
Maintenance – what maintenance schedule recommended?
A GREAT DEAL OF THOUGHT..
Troubleshooting – Is there a clear procedure for troubleshooting for each instrument?
Service and repair – What is the cost? Is the services available in its geographical area?
Retiring and disposing of equipment – what must be done to dispose ?
A GREAT DEAL OF THOUGHT..
Equipment management responsibility may be specifically assigned to a technologist in the laboratory
Appropriately trained and understand how to operate the instrument and perform routine maintenance procedures
Monitoring activities:
Review equipment records routinely
Update maintenance procedure as necessary
Ensure that all procedures are followed
Selecting the best instrument – very important
Criteria to be consider Why and how will the equipment be used? Should match service
provides
What are the performance characteristics of the instrument/spec.? Suit the needs of the testing?
What are the facility requirement? Physical space?
Does the equipment have a warranty?
Are there any safety issues to consider? Ex Fluid Bed Dryer
Will instruction be available in a language that is understood
The manufacturer should provide all the info
Is it better to purchase or lease?
SELECTING EQUIPMENT
Laboratory provide all the necessary physical requirement
Electricity
Water
Space
Adequate room to move the equipment into the lab, consider door openings and elevator access
It is best to have the manufacturer to install laboratory equipment; this will likely improve the conditions of the
warranty and ensure the installation is done properly and quickly
INSTALLING EQUIPMENT
The following details need to be addressed before putting the equipment into service: Assign responsibility for performing maintenance &
operation
Implement a written plan for calibration, verification & operation
Establish scheduled maintenance program daily, weekly or monthly
Training for all operators
Run the instruments with the test kits provided by the manufacturer. Follow the instruction. Compare with the results provided by the manufacturer. Documentation : OQ, PQ, IQ
GETTING THE EQUIPMENT READY
Includes measures such as systematic and routine cleaning, adjustment and replacement of equipment parts at scheduled
intervals (daily, weekly, monthly, @ yearly)
It is recommended that a label be attached to the instrument indicating when the next maintenance or service should be performed
Equipment inventory log, should have record: Type, serial number, made and model number, date equipment purchase, manufacturer/vendor contact, presence and absence document, warranty’s expiration, etc to ensure the lab does not run out of spare parts
IMPLEMENTING AN EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
Problems with equipment may present in many ways
Operator notice and take action, troubleshoot and preventive maintenance procedure to solve problem
Questions:
Is the problem related to poor sample?
Is there a problem with water, air or electrical supply?
Make one change at a time based on symptoms. If the equipments is the problem, review manufacturer’s instructions to verify that all procedures are being followed correctly
IF PROBLEM CANNOT BE IDENTIFIED FIND BACK UP INSTRUMENTS
TROUBLESHOOTING, SERVICE, REPAIR, AND RETIRING EQUIPMENT
Do NOT use faulty equipment
Seek help from manufacturer or other technical expert
Place a note on the equipment so all staff are aware
WARNING : OUT OF ORDER DO NOT USE (DATE)
It is important to have policy and procedure for retiring older laboratory equipment. This will usually occur when it is clear
that the instrument is not functioning and is not repairable or outmoded
Disposed- often neglected, taking up valuable spaces and creating hazard
TROUBLESHOOTING, SERVICE, REPAIR, AND RETIRING EQUIPMENT
IMPORTANT : keeping good equipment record will allow for through evaluation of any problem arise
Logbook documenting all characteristics and maintenance elements (Preventive maintenance activities, recording
function checks, calibration, maintenance by the manufacturer, full info on any problem that the instrument
develops, troubleshooting, follow up info, date problem occurred, reason breakdown, corrective action taken, date
returned, etc)
THE LOG BOOK SHOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW DURING THE ENTIRE LIFE OF THE EQUIPMENT
EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE DOCUMENTATION
Weighing Machine
Basic instrument BUT ……. Very sensitive
Where to locate?
On Solid bench that is AVT/stable
Not near to corner of the room/room access through a sliding door
Free from air/not near to ovens
EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT
EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT
Water bath-Regular water change and cleaning of your bath is needed to preserve the baths’
corrosion resistance
EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT
pH meter-Dry storage causes dehydration of the glass electrode and the precipitation of salts within the interstices of the frit itself. The consequences are reading drift, slow response times and loss of accuracy and precision.
EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT Air compressor-remove air when not in use Service + certificate from OSH Air tubing – fragile replacement/ once every 5 years
Helps to maintain a high level of laboratory performance
Reduces variation in the test results
Improves the technologist’s confidence in the accuracy of testing results
Lowers repairs cost, as fewer repairs will be needed for a well maintained instrument
Lengthens instrument life
Reduces interruption of services due to breakdown and failures
Increases safety for workers
Produces greater customer satisfaction
