Before you can use the medTester with WebTMA, records are required in several WebTMA modules. Following is a checklist to assure all settings are correct. Be certain you have:
- DeviceTypes added (Organization > Lookups).
- ECRI data imported (if applicable).
- Biomed Repair Center configured in WebTMA (Organization > Repair Centers > Records / Identity).
- Biomed set as the Repair Center for all Biomed Technicians. If the Technician's Repair Center does not reflect the correct Biomed Repair Center, he or she will not have access to the Biomed Equipment window. In addition, the Technician ID has a maximum of three characters.
Once you have established the types and repair center, you can set up MEDTESTER TASKS, Checklists, Biomed Equipment, and PM schedules. Batch generated PM Work Orders are the only type of Work Order available to handle medTester results, i.e., no Work Orders can be created manually to accept medTester information.
PM schedules can be established from the PMs Tab of either an item record or the Task record. All these must be in place before you can use the medTester interface successfully. The following topics provide information for each of these types of WebTMA required records.
Check Types for medTester
Path: Organization > Lookups > Check Types
The WebTMA System Administrator sets up the Check Types in Organization > Lookups. The Check Types are used to group your check items when you create a checklist. In addition to general check items, administrators create the following Checks that are specific to medTester:
- MedTest - to reference the medTester remote and pause commands.
- Step - to prompt the Technician to check an Equipment condition or to perform a procedural task.
Other Check Types include: Test, Inspect, Manual, Physical.
Task Types for medTester
Path: Organization > Lookups > Task Types
The WebTMA System Administrator adds Task Types that identify the Biomed Tasks for your facility. Be sure to include a Task named medTester PM in the Task Types.
If you use mobileTMA on a mobile device, remember that the medTester PM is not transferred to the device. All medTester PMs are downloaded to the medTester.
In order to select a medical Task code within WebTMA, you must first select the appropriate Task Type.
You can reduce data entry time and increase productivity if the default Trade and Repair Center are also specified on this window.
