Development of a Automated Low-Frequency Calibration System for Healthcare Device Calibration Needs in Indonesia
TL;DR
A semi-automatic calibration system for low-frequency source-based measurements has been developed that automates the parameter configuration and data acquisition, storing the recorded data directly in Microsoft Excel for immediate analysis and significantly enhances calibration efficiency.
Abstract
Indonesian Ministry of Health regulations mandate the calibration of medical devices to ensure accuracy and patient safety. Time and frequency-based measurements are crucial in this context, representing approximately 30% of the total type of medical equipment in Indonesia that must be calibrated. Calibrating devices involving low-frequency source measurements is particularly time-consuming due to the need for repeated measurements at each point. A semi-automatic calibration system for low-frequency source-based measurements has been developed to address this. This system automates the parameter configuration and data acquisition, storing the recorded data directly in Microsoft Excel for immediate analysis. This system significantly enhances calibration efficiency, allowing personnel to focus on other tasks during automated calibration. Future development aims to create a fully automated system encompassing the entire process, from device setup to calibration certificate generation. This fully automated system will further improve the calibration of medical devices, particularly those requiring time-consuming low-frequency measurements. This semi-automated system is a significant step forward in ensuring the accuracy of medical equipment used in Indonesia.
