Which component of an infusion pump regulates the fluid flow rate?
Flow controller
Pressure sensor
Infusion bag
Occlusion alarm
The flow controller is designed to regulate the fluid rate delivered by the pump. Other components like the pressure sensor detect pressure changes but do not set the flow rate.
What does the CE marking on a medical device indicate?
Compliance with European safety standards
Approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
Sterilization by ethylene oxide
Certification of battery life
The CE mark shows that a device meets European Union health, safety, and environmental requirements. It does not indicate FDA approval or specific sterilization methods.
On a medical device label, what information is typically required?
Manufacturer's name and address
User's personal medical data
Competitor's pricing information
Patent expiration year
Medical device labels must include the manufacturer's name and address for traceability. Personal user data and competitor pricing are not standard labeling requirements.
Which function is essential in a pulse oximeter?
Measuring blood oxygen saturation
Controlling insulin dosage
Monitoring blood pressure
Heating patient skin temperature
A pulse oximeter's primary function is to measure blood oxygen saturation noninvasively. It does not control insulin or monitor blood pressure.
An ultrasound probe is a key component for which medical device function?
Imaging internal structures
Analyzing blood samples
Delivering intravenous fluids
Ventilating the lungs
The ultrasound probe transmits and receives sound waves to create images of internal body structures. It is not used for fluid analysis, infusion, or ventilation.
Which regulatory class includes devices that pose moderate risk and often require clinical data for approval?
Class I
Class II
Class III
Class IV
In the U.S. FDA system, Class II devices pose moderate risk and typically require clinical data and special controls. Class I devices are low risk and Class III are high risk.
What is the primary purpose of the IEC 60601 standard?
Ensuring electrical safety and performance of medical electrical equipment
Governing software development life cycle
Specifying environmental disposal procedures
Defining packaging design requirements
IEC 60601 focuses on the safety and essential performance of medical electrical equipment. It does not cover software lifecycle, waste disposal, or packaging design.
In a clinical scenario, a resuscitator bag delivers oxygen at a specified flow rate. If the specification indicates 10 - 15 L/min, what flow setting should be used for an adult patient?
2 L/min
8 L/min
12 L/min
20 L/min
An adult resuscitator bag typically uses the midpoint of the specified range, so 12 L/min falls within the 10 - 15 L/min recommendation. Settings below or above this range are not appropriate.
Which symbol on a device label indicates that it is sterile?
Hourglass
Circle with letter S
CE mark
Syringe icon
The circle with the letter S is the standard symbol denoting that a device is sterile. The CE mark indicates regulatory compliance, not sterilization.
When comparing two ventilators, which performance characteristic determines how quickly the device reaches the set pressure?
Tidal volume
Rise time
PEEP
FiO2
Rise time refers to how fast the ventilator attains the target airway pressure. Tidal volume, PEEP, and FiO2 relate to other aspects of ventilation performance.
Which maintenance task is recommended daily for a patient monitor?
Replace the internal battery
Check ECG cable connections
Calibrate pressure sensors
Lubricate mechanical parts
Daily checks of ECG cable connections help ensure accurate signal acquisition and patient safety. Battery replacement, sensor calibration, and lubrication are not daily tasks.
Which label section contains situations where a device should not be used?
Indications
Contraindications
Instructions for use
Packaging Details
The contraindications section lists conditions or scenarios in which the device must not be used. Indications describe proper use, and the IFU provides usage instructions.
What is the effect of a kinked tubing line on an infusion pump?
Inaccurate fluid delivery
Increased battery life
Improved measurement accuracy
Enhanced sterilization
A kinked line restricts flow and leads to inaccurate fluid delivery or occlusion alarms. It does not affect battery life, measurement accuracy, or sterilization.
Which of the following is a routine calibration requirement for a medical scale?
Annual calibration only
After each software update
Before each patient use
Never required
Medical scales should be calibrated with known weights before each patient use to ensure accuracy. Less frequent calibration could compromise patient safety.
In medical device troubleshooting, what is the first step according to best practices?
Document the failure
Replace the entire device
Identify and isolate the problem
Contact regulatory authorities
The first step is to identify and isolate the issue to determine the cause. Documentation and regulatory contact occur later in the process.
According to ISO 14971, what process is used to identify potential device hazards and evaluate their risks?
Risk management
Quality control
Clinical evaluation
Design verification
ISO 14971 defines a formal risk management process to identify, evaluate, and control hazards. Quality control and design verification have different scopes.
A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) pump requires calibration showing flow deviation less than ±1%. If the set flow is 1.00 mL/min, what is the acceptable range?
0.98 - 1.02 mL/min
0.90 - 1.10 mL/min
0.95 - 1.05 mL/min
1.00 - 1.10 mL/min
A ±1% deviation around 1.00 mL/min yields an acceptable flow range of 0.98 to 1.02 mL/min. Wider ranges would exceed the 1% tolerance.
During preventive maintenance of an MRI machine, a technologist notices elevated acoustic noise levels. Which component is most likely the cause?
Gradient coil
RF coupling capacitor
Patient table
Cooling fan
Rapid switching of the gradient coil generates Lorentz forces that cause acoustic noise. RF components and mechanical parts like the table are not primary noise sources.
Which label element must be updated when a medical device's sterilization method changes from ethylene oxide to gamma irradiation?
Expiration date
Sterilization method symbol
Model number
Manufacturing address
Changing the sterilization process requires updating the sterilization method symbol on the label to reflect the new technique. Other elements remain unchanged.
During ventilator alarm troubleshooting, the device shows a high airway pressure alert while the patient circuit is clear. Which internal issue is most likely?
Faulty pressure sensor
Empty oxygen tank
Loose patient connection
Expired battery
A defective pressure sensor can falsely report elevated pressures even when the circuit is clear. Oxygen supply, connections, and battery status do not cause this specific alarm.
