This subject provides students¿ the correct knowledge about the classification of electromedical systems, specifically
those intended for the diagnosis and therapy of patients, according to their technical and functional characteristics. The
student will know the necessary details for a correct interpretation of the technical documentation for both installation
and maintenance and verification of physical spaces and infrastructures. With the support of this documentation, the
student will obtain the necessary knowledge for the reception, assembly and disassembly, commissioning, diagnosis
and repair of faults, maintenance and functional verification of the diagnosis and therapy systems and their associated
facilities, complying with current regulations.
CB6. To acquire comprehensive knowledge providing the opportunity to be creative in the development and/or
application of ideas.
CB7. To be able to apply the acquired knowledge and their problem solving skills to the resolution of problems in
novel or relatively unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of study.
CB8. To be able to integrate knowledge and face the complexity of judgement making based on information that,
being incomplete or limited, includes reflections on social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their
knowledge and judgments.
CB9. To demonstrate an ability to communicate their conclusions, their knowledge and the ultimate reasons that
sustain them to specialized and non-specialized audiences in a clear and unambiguous way.
CB10. To possess the learning abilities that allow autonomous long-life learning.
CG1. To possess the ability to learn new methods and technologies, from the mastery of scientific subjects and
specialized techniques of Clinical Engineering, as well as the ability to adapt to new situations.
CG2. To develop the ability to apply knowledge about the human being and the life sciences to the resolution of
problems typical of Clinical Engineering. In particular, the ability to identify medical problems that can be treated
using the techniques encompassed in Clinical Engineering.

CE10. Ability to install and maintain non-implantable active medical devices, in electromedicine systems and their
associated facilities, under quality criteria, in safety conditions and in compliance with current regulations.
Upon passing this subject, students must be able to:
- Classify, categorize and explain the principles features and functions of electromedical
equipment for diagnosis and therapy.
- Characterize the equipment, identifying its functionality and technical specifications.
- Decide correctly the equipment for diagnosis and therapy and the appropriate imaging technique depending on clinical
needs.
- Know how to choose the appropriate electromedical equipment taking into account the
specific needs, technical requirements and safety standards of a specific clinical application.
- Diagnose failures or dysfunctions in infrastructures, systems and equipment, identifying the
type of cause of the incident and the possibility of resolution.
- Repair breakdowns in infrastructures, systems and equipment for diagnosis and therapy, applying specific techniques
and procedures and checking the return of operation.
- Recognize, define and describe biomedical applications sensors and know how to measure
medical variables with them.
