Troubleshoot medical equipment control systems

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to troubleshoot medical equipment control systems.

It includes applying safe working practices, interpreting processes, applying knowledge of medical process controls to logical fault-finding procedures, conducting effective repairs, performing safety and functional inspection and testing, and completing service documentation.

Permits may be required for some work environments, such as confined spaces, working aloft, near live electrical apparatus and site rehabilitation

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions on at least two separate occasions and include:

applying relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements, including

using risk control measures

carrying out fault-finding activities without damage using sustainable energy principles

completing and reporting fault-finding and rectification activities

dealing with unplanned situations safely and with the approval of relevant person/s

determining the need to inspect, test and measure live work

dismantling apparatus components and storing to protect against loss or damage

finding faults

inspecting and isolating apparatus

inspecting and testing reassembled apparatus

obtaining scope of the medical equipment control system faults

obtaining tools, equipment and testing devices

preparing to find and rectify faults

rectifying faults without damage

providing written justification for the rectifications undertaken and notifying relevant person/s.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions and include knowledge of:

problem-solving techniques

relevant isolation procedures

relevant job safety assessments or risk mitigation processes

relevant manufacturer specifications and operating instructions

relevant medical equipment principles and control systems, including medical equipment and systems and safe working practices, including:

cardiovascular systems

respiratory systems

neurological systems

renal systems

medical imaging

miscellaneous medical equipment

physiological equipment

medical equipment, anatomy and physiology and infection control

relevant tools, equipment and testing devices

relevant WHS/OHS legislated requirements

relevant workplace documentation

relevant workplace instructions, policies and procedures

sustainable energy principles.

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in suitable workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated suitable workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Resources for assessment must include access to:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations

relevant and appropriate materials, tools, facilities and equipment currently used in industry

resources that reflect current industry practices in relation to finding and rectifying faults in medical equipment control systems

applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, equipment specifications, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Non-essential conditions may be found in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

Finding and rectifying faults must include at least two of the following:

cardiovascular systems

respiratory systems

neurological systems

renal systems

medical imaging

physiological equipment

miscellaneous medical equipment

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
