Buen día.

Gracias por la paciencia.

No están para saberlo pero estas semanas me tocó concluir mis actividades de este semestre en la escuela, ya saben revisar trabajos finales y entrega de calificaciones finales, todo eso que te piden como evidencia del trabajo realizado durante este tiempo.

¿Cómo los trata la contingencia, con nuestro nuevo inquilino en la vida?, ¿ya se están acostumbrando al distanciamiento, a las video llamadas, a el trabajo a distancia, a adaptarnos a estas normativas sociales para no ser parte de la estadística?, ¡abrazos virtuales para todos!.

Bien.

De entrada quiero dejar un mensaje muy breve para mis colegas del último semestre de la carrera de Químico Farmacéutico Industrial, ya estará de ellos si se animan a tomarlo en cuenta.

“Compañeros humanos que estamos llamados a demostrar porque somos la especie dominante en el planeta, colegas, hermanos de profesión porque llevamos la misma alma mater, serán como pocos parte de la historia, si bien a todos nos toca escribir nuestra propia historia, no a todos les tocara escribirla dentro del contexto que a ustedes por fortuna y no por desgracia, les corresponderá hacerlo, son y serán testigos de muchos cambios drásticos, no de política, no de economía, pero tal vez si en lo social, esta pandemia nos a tocado casi a todos, si no es que a todos, alguien por ahí ya se habrá enterado de algún amigo o conocido o peor aún ya tendrá en su familia a alguien que ya fue alcanzado por el virus, los que tienen la alegría de tenerlo y superarlo, mi corazón con ustedes y aquellos que no tuvieron esa bendición, mi fuerza con ustedes, todo mi reconocimiento a esa batalla interna que libraron o que aún están librando; ustedes colegas tendrán de frente la gran oportunidad de combatir, de aportar en esta guerra mundial, no con grandes presupuestos, no con laboratorios super equipados, no con nombres de empresas transnacionales en sus batas, y sobre todo no para alguien más, será desde su recinto, su hogar, su familia, llevaran a ese profesional recién formado si al servicio de la patria pero empezando en su casa, con su familia, sus conocidos, con aquello que tienen a la mano, su conocimiento, su sentido crítico, todo el afecto y ganas de hacer bien las cosas, aprovechen la oportunidad que les brinda el momento con responsabilidad, aprovechen para ver qué hace falta en su casa, con sus vecinos, si con las actividades sencillas, pero sobre todo con aquellas que la ciencia que habita en ustedes les permite ver, para imaginar, diseñar, crear, fabricar y poner en la mano de aquel que lo necesita más, sea familiar o amigo, sigamos aportando algo a este mundo ahora que nuestros amigos y familiares requieren de alguien que los oriente.

Seamos parte activa del frente que lucha contra esto, no toda la batalla está en los hospitales, no hay que olvidar a todos los demás que están combatiendo junto con sus enfermos.

Sean Honestos.

Sean Congruentes.

TIPS for Diagnosis, Repair and commissioning of laboratory instruments and equipment

Bitacora del Inge---CHEMISTER---



TIPS for Diagnosis, Repair and commissioning of laboratory instruments and equipment

This is probably obvious to experienced engineers, but it doesn't hurt to take a look.

As when you go to the doctor, a very important part of the treatment to follow is the correct diagnosis, interpretation of signs, current state of the system that is being reviewed and, of course, the patient's clinical history; in the same way it is with the equipment and instruments, that is to say a large part of what will tell us if a repair is simple, or if it requires a change of spare parts or a consumable, until the fact of the need to remove the equipment from our facilities to send it to be repaired abroad will largely depend on the diagnosis of the reported failure

 That is why I present what in my opinion are the basic steps for the correct diagnosis of failures

 1.- Review the history of the reported equipment

It is important that you have an idea of ​​the last services performed on the equipment, whether they are corrective maintenance or scheduled maintenance, what was the failure and how it was solved, how long it was since your last corrective and / or preventive service, what are the spare parts that are commonly requires your equipment or instrument, it is always good to have a fault statistic on hand, typify fault types, their frequency, downtime, the area that reports the most failures, the user that reports the most failures, etc. and all those data that you think are relevant to give a useful profile for the diagnosis of your equipment and / or instruments


2.- Confirm Reported Failure

It is an apparently obvious step, but believe me, when you are about to leave and they report a failure 5 minutes before your departure time and you have the bad luck to answer the phone, or they saw you leave the bathroom, that is, you have to stay for that you can no longer say that you are not here, do not make the mistake of believing in what the user reports to you, confirm the fault that they are reporting to you, this will prevent you from leaving later
from what you will already get, how to do this ?, I for example when they tell me that a
pH meter has variation of readings, it took the standard solutions, which I know its condition, in which I trust, I execute the verification of the instrument, it checked that the SLOPE is within criteria, if it meets the specification it released the instrument at the moment and killed two birds with one stone, left the instrument working and now without doubt to the user that the instrument is fine and fails corresponds to an external factor, it would be impossible to name here all the confirmation of failures but if it happens to you at any time you can contact me and I will gladly help you

3.- Internal or External Service

Once you confirm the failure you will have to decide what you are going to do with the equipment / instrument, although it is within your possibilities and capabilities to fix it yourself, or it is a repair that

You had not done and you want to learn how to do it, out of curiosity even to waste time, make sure you do not leave the equipment / instrument worse or have an emergency plan in case things do not go as you expect, if on the contrary there is no way to that you do it, after confirming the failure you realize that it is out of your reach, do not invest more of your valuable time, put an OUT OF SERVICE label and leave it to the manufacturer to answer for his "blessing", record in your blog what you did as detailed as possible, and in the team's blog the status of it, never forget good documentation practices, because at the time of the audits they are the ones that will save your skin

4.- Verification

Whether you have performed the service or it was performed by an external make sure to confirm that the equipment is working within parameters, run a standard, perform internal verification of the equipment / instrument, do a test, as who says, you know your equipment and you know which test does not fail

5.- Delivery

Once you have verified that everything is in order, make the official delivery of the equipment / instrument to the user, person in charge, boss or supervisor that corresponds, show them that they are meeting the criteria,
Show him that you are registered in the blog, give him a service report, that is, there must be a document that shows the signature of conformity that you left the equipment working again, believe me this will save you from many misunderstandings, and many bad times

In general these what for me are the basics for the execution of a reliable service, make your own prestige, make your word count, that they look for you to ask you for advice, and if they ask you something that you don't really know, don't have sorry to say you don't know, just ask for a little time and really commit to getting a satisfying answer, maybe you do too
you learn something new

I leave them until the next installment, if you have any other point or think you missed the list please
