Dear Michael,

Please find attached a paper I wrote in 2006 for the 3rd IEE Seminar on Appropriate Medical Technologies for DCs. That is my help.
Is it coming late? Sorry, I was reflecting on what type of help I could provide, given that we do not have icebergs in tropical rain forest areas!!!
All the best,

Andre Mboule

Buenas noches para todos.

Hace unas semanas recibí un correo con un breve resumen en español
del informe de ECRI Top 10 Health Technology Hazards.
Lamentablemente no he podido encontrar este correo.
Alguien lo tiene y me lo puede reenviar?
Gracias!

Cordial saludo,

Hi Ismael,
This isn't exactly what you're looking for, but it seems like a good
introduction to fundamentals of lasers that is offered as free online
courseware by MIT. It's a series of videos that have been uploaded to
YouTube on laser fundamentals. There are 3 1-hour lectures. Here is the
link:

Hi Mg Mg, 

I hope that things are going well for you in Burma. 

Thanks for the suggestion, but I am actually searching for
independent general laser maintenance training courses and
not those offered by manufacturers such as Zeiss. 

Best Regards, 

Ismael Cordero

I would recommend Carl Zeiss in Germany where I got trained

Hi Infratechers, 

Dos anyone know of a medical laser maintenance training course
outside of the United States?

I am referring to generic laser maintenance training and
not specific to any one brand or model like the manufacturers
would offer. 

Many Thanks for any leads. 

Best, 

Ismael Cordero

Moral of the story is that HTM training should be mandatory for all Captains...
 seafaring or not!

Certainly, Rob, even more, the elements of HTM, at least on the safety
aspects, should be mandatory for all healthcare facilities if the medical
device regulations are to be truly effective!

For the fun of it, I would like to enter the list of claimers with the
following 1982 vintage graphic.

Andrei, 

It is good indeed to know the source of this ever important graphic.

I know at least 4 persons who claim to have come up with the idea for the diagram! :-) 

Warmest regards, 
Ismael Cordero

Michael,
Here is the original diagram (of course, not as artistic as the ones by
Ricardo) and the reference to the source where it appeared for the first
time: Pfeiff H., Hospital Engineering in Developing Countries - Tasks and
Decision-making Aids for Coping with Problem, in Damman V. and Pfeiff H.
(editors), Hospital Engineering in Developing Countries, GTZ Symposium,
1983, Giessen, Germany, 1986, GTZ, Eschborn, Germany.
Cheers.

Luis, Ismael, Ricardo,

Many thanks for sending me the requested diagrams.  I am impressed by your
responsiveness and ingenuity.  I shall try if one of them can best fit onto
to the very limited space I am allotted. Thanks again

Dear ALL, 

I believe all of the diagrams sent are effective in conveying a key message
of HTM to healthcare planners and let all us do our part to spread this
important message. 

Best regards

Michael Cheng
