"Having worked with many machines from different manufacturers, I have an excellent basic understanding of the equipment and how it operates properly. I know basic maintenance procedures like cleaning and dialing in the settings. If a machine has a mechanical issue, I start with my local equipment team to resolve the issue."

"During my work experience, I received hands-on experience in preventative maintenance on units like system backups and the cleaning of filters. I am comfortable working on the machines and would contact the proper maintenance or repair person if any issues were outside my knowledge."

"I work closely with the medical equipment team in my current position. Our policy does not allow techs to maintain any equipment. The medical team lets me know when equipment needs to be down for maintenance, and I rearrange the patient schedule if needed."
