1. Provide high-quality and safe medical care through the operation and maintenance of medical equipment.
2. Respond flexibly to the development and sophistication of medical care, and contribute to the improvement of hospital functions.
3. Acquire techniques for medical safety and advanced techniques to improve safety.
4. Contribute to team medical care by proposing effective use of medical resources and providing technology and knowledge.

As a core hospital 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, in order to protect the lives and health of citizens, and to serve the purpose of safely providing patient-centered, high-quality medical care, each floor is equipped with emergency and video equipment so that you can experience multiple tasks on a daily basis. Work is divided among four departments: medical department, central medical equipment management department, surgical department, and intensive care/blood purification department.

In addition, we not only participate in but also hold workshops and study sessions for the purpose of responding flexibly to the development and sophistication of medical care and improving safety.

blood purification center

We perform dialysis for patients who are hospitalized for examinations and treatments, and who are about to start maintenance dialysis. In order to safely and appropriately control dialysis during hospitalization, we perform a wide range of tasks, from treatment to schedule management and equipment maintenance. In addition, as a blood purification therapy, blood is once circulated outside the body to directly remove the disease-causing substances in plasma for diseases and conditions that are difficult to control with conventional oral drugs and injection drugs alone. We restore the body and perform treatments aimed at improving disease and medical conditions.

Operating room

In the operating room, we mainly operate extracorporeal circulation equipment and peripheral equipment during open-heart surgery in aortic disease, ischemic heart disease, and valvular disease. We also maintain and inspect surgery-related equipment to improve medical safety.

Cardiology business

In the cardiovascular field, various arrhythmias and ischemic heart disease are treated using the latest technology. Clinical engineers operate and maintain the treatment equipment and examination equipment used in these treatments, and strive to ensure that they can always be used safely. In the treatment of arrhythmia, we operate various devices such as pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators, and intracardiac electrocardiogram recording devices in cardiac catheter ablation. In the treatment of ischemic heart disease, we operate intravascular imaging diagnostic equipment (IVUS, OFDI) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). In addition, in an emergency, we assist in the prompt introduction of percutaneous cardiopulmonary support (PCPS) and intra-aortic balloon pumping (IABP) to ensure circulatory dynamics. I'm here.

intensive care services

Medical devices have become indispensable in the fields of intensive care and acute care.

Clinical engineers are responsible for the operation and maintenance of these medical devices, as well as proposing settings to bring out therapeutic effects.

Central medical equipment management department

Medical device management

We will maintain the entire hospital so that the medical equipment can be used safely at all times, and improve the medical functions through repair support, operation adjustment, information provision and in-hospital training for life support management equipment and other medical equipment.
