Medical Equipment. Nothing in this Agreement will require the use of an electronic device or equipment constituting an appropriate auxiliary aid, when or where its use may interfere with medical or monitoring equipment or may otherwise constitute a threat to a Patient’s medical condition. F.
Medical Equipment. Nothing in this Settlement Agreement shall require that an electronic device or equipment constituting an appropriate auxiliary aid be used when or where its use may interfere with medical or monitoring equipment or may otherwise constitute a threat to the patient’s medical condition. This provision in no way lessens MSHA’s obligation to provide appropriate Auxiliary Aids and Services as required under this Settlement Agreement. Complaint Resolution. MSHA will utilize its established grievance resolution mechanism for the investigation of disputes regarding effective communication with Patients and Companions who are deaf and hard of hearing. MSHA will maintain records of all grievances regarding effective communication, whether oral or written, made to MSHA and actions taken with respect thereto. At the time MSHA personnel complete the assessment described in Paragraph 26 and in Paragraph 27 and advise Patient and/or Companion of the determination of which appropriate Auxiliary Aids and Services are necessary, MSHA will notify Patients and/or Companions who are deaf or hard of hearing of its grievance resolution mechanism, to whom complaints should be made, and of the right to receive a written response to the grievance. This notification will be provided verbally during the assessment and shall appear in writing on the Communication Assessment Form. A written response to any grievance filed shall be completed within the same time frames under the established grievance process. Copies of all grievances related to provision of services for Patients and/or Companions who are deaf or hard of hearing and the responses thereto will be maintained by the ADA Administrators for the entire duration of the Agreement. Prohibition of Surcharges. All appropriate Auxiliary Aids and Services required by this Agreement will be provided free of charge to the Patient and/or Companion who is deaf or hard of hearing. Record of Need for Auxiliary Aid or Service. MSHA will take appropriate steps to ensure that all MSHA hospital personnel are made aware of a Patient or Companion’s disability and auxiliary aid and services needed by specifying those needs in the patient’s chart (electronic or otherwise) so that effective communication with such person will be achieved. When such a record is made, it should also note that responses to call lights should be automatically made in person and that intercoms or other similar systems of non-visual communication should not be used.

Medical Equipment. The School shall be responsible for providing Excelsior access to, and maintaining, at minimum, the following medical equipment and supplies: • Football Facemask cutter • Quick Release Football Facemask tool • Manual screw driver • Trauma Shears • Heart Rate/Blood Pressure monitor • Pulse oximeter • Glucose monitors with lancets and testing strips • Cervical collars of various sizes • OPA Kit and Bite stick • Manual suction unit • Bag-Valve Mask • Weather monitoring device • Cold water tub or tarp for EHI • Golf cart (or similar) for Certified Athletic Trainer use primarily • 4-5 2-way radios is recommended for communication between coaches and ATC EXHIBIT E Risk of Sport Excelsior’s ATC will cover sports at the School based on the potential for injury within a sport. Excelsior and the ATC reserve the right to staff events, contents and/or practices with a certified athletic trainer based on risk of sport when the AD schedules one or more events, contests and/or practices simultaneously or in different locations outside the School. Increased Risk Sports: • Football • Gymnastics • Ice Hockey • Skiing • Wrestling
Medical Equipment. The cardiac monitor-defibrillator and paramedic radio communication system shall be standard throughout the system and shall be ordered through County’s Emergency Medical Services. The Municipality is responsible for the purchase, repair and/or replacement of cardiac monitor-defibrillator equipment and communication equipment on Paramedic First Response units. The County will provide routine maintenance checks of County owned equipment on paramedic transport units or furnish replacement units when necessary as determined by the County. The Municipality is responsible for repair costs. The Municipality shall reimburse the County for costs associated with the repair of County owned equipment and for other repairs made on behalf of the Municipality. The County shall obtain reimbursement for these repairs as a reduction in the monthly payment to the Municipality. The replacement of County owned equipment on paramedic and/or paramedic first response units when the equipment is lost and/or damaged due to an act of negligence on the part of Municipality employees is the responsibility of the Municipality. Negligence is defined as the “omission or neglect of reasonable care, precaution or action.” An appeal process shall be created to arbitrate questions of responsibility for damaged or lost County equipment should the Municipality disagree with County’s decision.
Medical Equipment. Patients are exposed to a number of devices during medical procedures, and the widespread use or reuse of non-sterile medical equipment has become a potential source of HAIs [90]. In the absence of sterilization, injections with contaminated needles or syringes in healthcare settings may be responsible for 32 to 40 percent of global hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus infections [91]. A surveillance study by Agodi et al. established the relationship between Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections and invasive devices (e.g., ventilators) in ICU patients [19]. Similarly, an assessment by Sui et al. demonstrated that the Y-pieces and water traps on ventilators were the most contaminated parts, and pathogens were detected in all the samples [20]. A high concentration of Staphylococcus aureus was detected on the Y-pieces, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was more prevalent on the water traps [20]. Note that both Y-pieces and water traps are part of the breathing circuits, and pathogen detection on these points may result in a high risk of HAIs [19, 20]. Cotton swabs rinsed by sterile saline or broth and inoculated on culture plates are the most common method to assess microbial contamination of medical equipment [65, 92]. One study in London reported that swabs from seven out of twenty-four bedside stethoscopes were contaminated with Acinetobacter spp., Pseudomonas spp., and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus [92]. Another sampling approach is direct placement of equipment on agar plates or rinsing equipment in broth culture [93, 94]. By directly plating ultra- sonographic probes on blood agar plates, Xxxxxx and colleagues detected methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus aureus on the surface of probes [93]. Using a different approach, Muradali et al. employed culture media to detect bacterial growth: they inserted ultra- sonographic probes into a nutrient broth, inoculated that broth on agar plates, and then measured the concentration of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa [94]. Although different sampling and processing techniques were used, both studies demonstrated that medical instruments were contaminated with pathogens and could be sources of HAIs [90]. To date, there has not been sufficient evidence to conclusively prove a causal relationship between environmental contamination and HAIs [89]. Inconsistencies in study results could be explained by differences in study design, measurement, and potential confounders [89]. ...
Medical Equipment. Medical equipment on ships shall be surveyed as part of the annual safety equipment survey. In accordance with Council Directive 92/29/EC of 31 March 1992 (OJ- Lno/113,1992) the RO surveyor, being the "competent authority" shall countersign the relevant checklist when satisfied with the results of the survey.
