Common Clinical Equipment

This section describes equipment commonly used by registered nurses in imaging departments. Patient monitors track vital signs and cardiac rhythms. Intravenous pumps deliver fluids and medications. Contrast injectors support imaging procedures. Oxygen delivery devices help maintain adequate oxygenation. Emergency carts contain supplies for rapid response. Nurses must understand device operation, safety features, and training requirements to support safe patient care.

Basic Device Concepts

This section provides accessible explanations of essential device concepts. Alarm management ensures that changes in patient condition are recognized promptly. Battery checks support safe operation of portable devices. Calibration basics help ensure accurate readings. Infection control practices include cleaning reusable items and following facility guidelines for equipment handling. Understanding these concepts helps nurses maintain safe and reliable equipment use.

Daily Checks and Maintenance

This section provides a practical checklist for daily equipment checks. Nurses should verify monitor function, check intravenous pump settings, inspect contrast injectors, and ensure that emergency carts are stocked. Service events must be documented and device faults escalated to biomedical engineering. Consistent daily checks support patient safety and maintain equipment readiness.
