June 1999 Field Service Engineer III

Managed a field service geographical territory which included Account Management, Inventory Management, Service and Repair and Project Management for medical laboratories.

Conducted technical phone support troubleshooting with customers

Troubleshooting/repairing electro-mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic issues on laboratory analyzers including Chemistry, Immunochemistry, Hematology, Hemostasis, Arterial Blood Gas and Urinalysis. Service and repair included replacing electro-mechanical parts such as valves (pneumatic and electrical), sensors, motors (DC and AC), pumps (hydraulic and pneumatic). DC motors were 12v motors used to drive subassemblies on the machine. AC motors were 220-240v and used to drive larger assemblies such as the conveyor system. Alignments on these machines were critically precise as all assemblies and subassemblies work together to function as the manufacturer intended. If one alignment is off by a fraction of a mm then the machine is inoperable. Sets of alignment jigs were used to ensure proper alignments of all components. Replacement of conveyor parts such as drive belts and chains and PLCs were common. All the machines utilized pneumatics to provide pressurized air and vacuum, via compressor, to the components on the machine. Likewise, the machines also utilized hydraulics to provide liquids to the components. The hydraulic system was composed of different pumps such as Positive Displacement pumps, electric water pumps, electric oil pumps, bellows pumps and peristaltic pumps. Utilizing hydraulic diagrams and schematics was a daily routine.

Maintenance on the machines is the lifeline of the machine. Proper and routine maintenance must be performed to ensure proper functionality and to discover potential issues that can be corrected before they become a problem. Maintenance on these machines included removing pumps and replacing seals then calibrating the pump to output the proper volume of water. Removing the compressor and rebuilding the pressure head and vacuum head then calibrating both heads to the proper vacuum and pressure levels. Replacing the peristaltic pump tubing regularly was critical as the pump tubing would develop a flat spot and not pump correctly. Checking pneumatic valves to ensure there are no leaks. Checking the oil flow rate of the oil bath and adjust accordingly. Checking all alignments of components in relation to other components. Corrective alignment of system probes were always required. Alignment of the probes to hit a designated target within 1mm was required. Some machines have diode lasers and ensuring proper voltage and alignment was part of routine maintenance of the laser. Checking alignment of the diode laser was performed with an Oscilloscope and specific liquid reagents. Some machines use Spectrophotometers to collect the chemistry data and convert it into numbers for a report. The maintenance of the spectrophotometer included cleaning the lenses (source and receiver) and checking the voltage of the halogen lamp, replacing the lamp if needed. Replacement of water filters, oil filters and air filters were also routine maintenance. Cleaning the photomultiplier tube on some machines was critical to ensure the machine gave accurate results. Cleaning of the PMT involved removing the lager component and taking it into a dark room to remove the PMT for cleaning as it is extremely sensitive to light and could be damaged if not in a dark room. After cleaning, darkcounts are performed using the computer software to ensure the PMT was not damaged. Calibration of the machines were performed using reagents and calibrators to set all parameters correctly. Then Quality Control was performed using liquid control material and liquid reagents. Performing QC was the last step in routine maintenance to prove and ensure the machine is functioning properly.
