Diagnostic monitoring

Fig. 4. Examples of emission spectrometry as a diagnostic monitoring tool for plasma processing, (a) The removal of chlorine contamination from copper diode leads using a hydrogen—nitrogen plasma. Emissions are added together from several wavelengths, (b) The etching and eventual removal of a 50-p.m thick polyimide layer from an aluminum substrate, where (x ) and (° ) correspond to wavelengths (519.82 and 561.02 nm, respectively) for molecular CO2...

The clear lesson from nature is that effective management of microbial fouling in complex dynamic systems requires a consistently administered program comprised of diagnostics, monitors, environmentally sensible remedies, and careful regulation of those remedies. 

Subsequent physical inspections will tend to reveal the effectiveness of the program. Inspections should be supported by simple diagnostic monitoring tests such as dip-slides.

In a situation where point-of-care diagnostic monitoring for anticoagulation is available to the pharmacist, under the Professional Services subheading, Laboratory tests could have been checked (Fig. 4-6). 

The design provides for on-line monitoring the state of equipment and components with the help of special diagnostic systems (noise diagnostics, monitoring the equipment vibration, detection of loose and poor fixed objects, primary-to-secondary leak monitoring). Special systems are provided for information support of the operation (safety parameters display system, equipment residual life assessment system, operator s support system). 

L.7.1.4.4 The team shouid review the avaiiabie information and fiii out Tabie L.1 to determine whether the equipment shouid be approved for use and to identify any minimum practices required for successfui operation. Per the approvai section, devices having the not approved or pending box checked wiii not be added to the approved iist. Where data is oniy sufficient to support use in a controi or diagnostic/monitoring appiication, this shouid be indicated by a mark in appropriate data coiumn of the approved iist. if a device is approved for use in a safety appiication, but with restrictions, those restrictions wiii aiso be documented in the approved iist, e.g., oniy approved for river water service, etc.

Implantable devices are man-made implants partly or totally introduced into the hnman body and intended to remain after the procedure. These devices reside within the hnman body either temporarily or permanently, for diagnostic, monitoring, or ther-apentic pnrposes. Examples include catheters, stents, drug delivery systems, pacemakers, implantable cardiac defibrillators, and neurostimulators. Currently more than 25 million US citizens rely on them for life-critical functions (Daniel, 2008). The market was valued at 43.1 billion in 2011 and is expected to increase 8% annually over 7 years to be worth 73.9billion by 2018 (Implantable Medical, 2013). 

There are two types of medical applications for adhesives (i) applications for devices that are outside the body (e.g., instruments) and (ii) applications for devices inside the body (for diagnostic monitoring or therapeutic purposes). 

In large power control applications or in large valve applications the final elements may have to use active power to carry out its trip task. These applications require backed up (i.e. redundant) power supplies to operate heavy duty power isolating contactors or to drive motorized valves. In such cases the power system becomes an integral part of the final element and would require diagnostic monitoring. 

The steam turbine can be supplied with a programmable logic controller (PLC) system for digital control of steam turbine auxiliary systems and diagnostic monitoring of the steam turbine unit. This PLC system monitors operation and performance and safeguards against excess pressime and steam flow.
