Analyze This

As a growing number of automated analyzers and data collection tools become available to bring electrical safety testing into the 21st century, biomeds may be thinking about making the switch from manual testing to help save time, analyze data more thoroughly, improve collection efficiency, or interface to computer software. As demands on biomeds— and on data collection methods—increase, automatic testing undoubtedly looks attractive.

We're interested to hear about any benefits your department experienced when it introduced automatic testing. How is testing data collected by automatic testers used as opposed to manually collected data? All things considered, is it any less work to use one method as opposed to the other? We hope you will leave a comment and share.

Automation has many, many levels.  The level at which your question is targeted is automated testing built-in.  This level of automation delivers a certain amount of time savings, but not the maximum that can be delivered when automating not only the specific test itself, but the work assignment, all tests possible to automate within the full inspection procedure, and then automatic documentation of that testing has been completed and the closing of the work assignment---start-to-finish automation.  We comment on this only so that there is enough granularity in understanding and comments to be completely relevant and accurate in how much or how little time savings should be expected.  Also important: reduction of human error sources throughout the entire inspection/test procedure and documentation.
