9 courses with the subject BET, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
BET 231Medical Equipment Standards and Testing2
The student learns the requirements and methods of testing medical equipment for conformance with current standards of the biomedical industry, also known as Healthcare Technology Management (HTM). Students learn the hierarchy of statutes, regulations, standards including accreditation standards, and hospital policies for healthcare equipment management and safety. Students learn principles of electrical safety testing, HTM and medical ethics as they pertain to the Biomedical Technician. Equipment management principles that maximize life span and minimize life-cycle costs are stressed. Sustainable practices to minimize resource and chemical use are also emphasized. (Prerequisites: EET- 165, EET-166; Co-requisite: BET-232)
BET 232Medical Equipment Standards and Testing Lab2
Students perform extensive equipment testing to verify conformance with national standards and manufacturer’s specifications. Students learn standard practices for electrical safety testing, and conformance with industry standards, manufacturer’s specifications as they pertain to the HTM field. Extensive testing of medical devices including centrifuges, IV pumps, and physical therapy devices is practiced with students proving their skills in performance tests. Equipment management software inventory and work order entry are practiced to prepare the student with entry-level HTM skills. (Prerequisites: EET-165, EET- 166; Co-requisite: BET-231)
This course explains many hazards encountered in the hospital environment and the role of the BMET in controlling them. It continues by discussing the different types of transducers and electrodes used with biomedical equipment. The cardiovascular system is prominent as the student learns the principles of electrocardiography and blood pressure measurement. The course concludes by examining ECG and pressure monitors, as well as the principles of other bedside monitoring parameters, and the types of specialized test equipment used in HTM to test and verify accuracy of these medical devices. (Prerequisites: EET-165, EET- 166; Co-requisite: BET-234)
Specialized test equipment is used in hands-on training. Extensive testing of medical devices such as ECG, blood pressure, pulse oximetry and capnography is stressed with students proving their skills in performance tests. Equipment management software inventory and work order entry are practiced to prepare the student with entry-level HTM skills. The course concludes by examining ECG and pressure monitors, concentrating on the test equipment used to test and verify accuracy. (Prerequisites: EET-165, EET-166; Co-
This course is an overview of the types of medical equipment needed to support patients who have life threatening problems. Examples of such equipment are defibrillators, pacemakers, ventilators, and hemodialysis units. The function of each type of equipment is discussed. Some pieces of equipment are examined thoroughly in relation to functional testing, preventive maintenance, parts identification, and description of circuits. A mock certification exam is the capstone of this course. (Prerequisites: EET-165, EET-166; Co-
This course describes the different types of specialized medical equipment found in the hospital environment. Lasers, x-ray, ultrasound imaging, and nuclear imaging equipment are examples of the modalities covered. The basic theory and function of each system is explained with emphasis on quality control, patient, and personal safety. (Prerequisites:
Lab experiments include video system setup and testing, diagnostic ultrasound familiarization and quality control checks, x-ray system familiarization and quality control checks, and video display quality control checks. Equipment management software inventory and work order entry are practiced to prepare the student with entry-level HTM skills. Students prove acquired skills in hands-on performance tests. (Prerequisites: EET- 165, EET-166; Co-requisite: BET-237)
