Clinical Engineering Department（臨床工学科）

Clinical Engineering Department

Clinical Engineers (CE) are medical device specialists who support the “safe, reliable, and uninterrupted” operation of essential treatment equipment. From daily inspections to critical care settings like dialysis and surgery, we work as part of the medical team to ensure the highest standards of healthcare safety.

About Our Department

Established as an independent division in October 2021, our department manages everything from high-tech equipment maintenance to direct clinical assistance in the HCU, operating rooms, and catheterization labs.

Equipment Management

We employ a centralized management system to oversee the entire lifecycle of medical devices, from procurement to disposal. Annual maintenance plans and daily ward rounds ensure every device is ready for patient use.

Pump Management: Daily safety checks for infusion and syringe pumps.

Ventilators: Managing 18 units including NPPV and HFNC support.

Clinical Operations

Field	Core Responsibilities
Dialysis	Operation of dialysis machines, RO unit maintenance, and water quality management.
Intensive Care (HCU)	Operation of CRRT, CART, and circulatory assist devices (IABP, ECMO).
Operating Room	Anesthesia machine support, navigation systems, and MEP monitoring.
Catheterization	Hemodynamic management, IVUS analysis, and sterile assistance in angiography.
CIEDs (Pacemakers)	Remote monitoring, device optimization, and safety management during MRI/surgery.

Medical Device Safety Training

We foster a hospital-wide safety culture through annual orientations for new staff and specialized study sessions for life-sustaining medical equipment.

Our Values

Safety First: Rigorous management of all life-sustaining devices.
Zero Interruption: Rapid on-site response to ensure treatment continuity.
Team Synergy: Enhancing care quality through multidisciplinary coordination.
