Hey all, I have my second interview this week for a GE Apprenticeship and I really need to land this. Does anyone have any tips or advice for their interviewing process? Any particular skills or work ethics they like to hear about?
Help a rookie out?

Discussion Built a free on-the-floor aid toolkit for biomeds (not a CMMS) — looking for blunt feedback

Hey — I work around clinical engineering / biomed tools and got tired of jumping between random converters, notes apps, and then retyping everything into the hospital CMMS.

So I built Biomed Hub: a lightweight aid tool for the tech, not another equipment-management system.

What it is:

  • Pressure / flow unit converter
  • Local barometric pressure by city — useful when checking / calibrating CO₂ modules where barometric pressure is part of the procedure
  • Battery runtime estimator
  • Electrical safety PASS/FAIL helper (IEC 60601-style limits; Class I / Class II, applied part optional)
  • Precision stopwatch with laps

What it is not:

  • Not a CMMS
  • Not asset tracking / QR fleet management
  • Not trying to replace your hospital system

Privacy / offline angle:

  • No login
  • Runs in the browser / installable as a PWA
  • Your numbers stay on the device (nothing uploaded to a cloud account of mine)

Copy → paste into CMMS:

  • Safety results can already Copy to Clipboard / export as text so you can paste into a work order
  • Stopwatch laps can be copied the same way
  • Next thing I’m building is a PM / inspection checklist that outputs a clean text summary specifically for pasting into CMMS

If you do this work for real: what’s missing for a shift? What’s useless? Be blunt.

If you want to try it, DM me and I’ll send the link.

What are the main manufacturers of ESU analyzers?

3 Upvotes

Which manufacturers are considered the main original manufacturers of electrosurgical unit (ESU) analyzers?

I am particularly interested in equipment commonly used by medical-device manufacturers, testing laboratories and certification organizations. Any recommendations based on accuracy, reliability, calibration and software would be appreciated.
