Biomedical Engineer

Biomedical engineering (BME) or medical engineering is the application of engineering principles and design concepts to medicine and biology for healthcare purposes (e. g. diagnostic or therapeutic). This field seeks to close the gap between engineering and medicine, combining the design and problem solving skills of engineering with medical biological sciences to advance health care treatment, including diagnosis, monitoring, and therapy. Also, included under the scope of a biomedical engineer is the management of current medical equipment within hospitals while adhering to relevant industry standards. This involves equipment recommendations, procurement, routine testing and preventative maintenance, through to decommissioning and disposal. This role is also known as a Biomedical Equipment Technician (BMET) or clinical engineering. Biomedical engineering has recently emerged as its own study, as compared to many other engineering fields. Such an evolution is common as a new field transition from being an interdisciplinary specialization among already-established fields, to being considered a field in itself. Much of the work in biomedical engineering consists of research and development, spanning a broad array of subfields (see below). Prominent biomedical engineering applications include the development of biocompatible prostheses, various diagnostic and therapeutic medical devices ranging from clinical equipment to micro-implants, common imaging equipment such as MRIs and EKG/ECGs, regenerative tissue growth, pharmaceutical drugs and therapeutic biologicals.

Role of Biomedical Engineer In a Hospital:
Purchase of equipments (which includes inviting quotations/tenders for purchasing new equipments/machines & preparing comparison chart for the same). Writing specifications for all the new equipments & machinery. Evaluating the equipment &machinery on the basis of its initial cost as well as its operating cost: since many times, the high maintenance & operating cost of the equipment turns out to be much higher than the initial cost. Inspection of incoming equipment & machinery and doing pre-acceptance checks before official acceptance & payment. Maintaining records; for e. g. equipment history. Setting standards & ensuring their compliance. Maintaining the equipment to the best of its performance by organizing a planned maintenance programme for all equipments and attending to emergency breakdowns and repairs. Arranging for training programs for personnel in clinical engineering department as well as the end users. Advising & providing expertise to the medical staff & administration. Maintaining equipment inventory for all existing & incoming equipments. Active involvement in the activities of the hospitals safety committee & checking safety hazards. Monitoring contract services viz. A. M. C. and C. M. C. Keeping record of the Spares/consumable items.
