Help Us Crowdsource Repair Information for Hospital Equipment!

Hi everyone! If you suddenly find yourself with a lot more time at home, and would like to put some of that time to good use helping mitigate the current health crisis, we invite you to check out the announcement here:[br]
[https://www.ifixit.com/News/36354/help-us-crowdsource-repair-information-for-hospital-equipment|Help Us Crowdsource Repair Information for Hospital Equipment][br]
We’ve already got over 100 [https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Ventilator|ventilator service manuals] posted online for free, for anyone anywhere in the world to use, ''but we need to find all of them''—and organize them and make them easier to use. And when that’s done, there are other kinds of medical equipment that desperately need the same treatment.

'''Current high-priority tasks:'''

'''Update:''' Thanks so much to everyone who helped (and who continues to help)! We’ll have a public announcement about the project soon. Meanwhile, if you have any more manuals that you don’t see on [https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Medical_Device|iFixit.com], DM me or email biomed [at] iFixit [dot] com and we’ll be happy to help get them posted!

* '''Check the ‘Sources to Download’ page''' of [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Fz8ljtGv0XK0BkNtrO94xYYQmcuUPLjP-gl5kZMwuNE/edit#gid=1853859309|this spreadsheet] for a list of every source of additional service manuals that we know of. We need volunteers to check each of these sources for additional manuals we haven’t found or included yet, grab them, and upload them to [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1KMAnJ_ZRE91gE9GfpuKjCYnzxg0_ecvi?usp=sharing|this Google Drive folder].
-
* '''Sort them files''' - Every manual uploaded to [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1KMAnJ_ZRE91gE9GfpuKjCYnzxg0_ecvi?usp=sharing|Google Drive] needs to be renamed to something helpful and readable by humans (Example: “Maquet Servo-i Service Manual.pdf”) and then sorted into folders, first by make, then by model. From there, we can automatically import them and make them findable on iFixit. In the above example, the file should first be placed in a '''Maquet''' folder, then placed in a '''Maquet Servo-i Ventilator''' sub-folder. (Spelling and capitalization counts, so check twice!)
-
* '''Data entry'''—bring the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Fz8ljtGv0XK0BkNtrO94xYYQmcuUPLjP-gl5kZMwuNE/edit#gid=2050999751|Ventilators page of the spreadsheet] up to parity with what we already have posted on [https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Ventilator|iFixit] and [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1KMAnJ_ZRE91gE9GfpuKjCYnzxg0_ecvi?usp=sharing|Google Drive], so we know which manuals are still missing and folks can hunt them down.
-
'''Let’s coordinate here!''' Ask questions, share your findings, and help us figure out what’s missing and where we haven’t looked yet.

Thanks in advance for your help. Stay safe everybody!

Hi everyone! If you suddenly find yourself with a lot more time at home, and would like to put some of that time to good use helping mitigate the current health crisis, we invite you to check out the announcement here:[br]
[https://www.ifixit.com/News/36354/help-us-crowdsource-repair-information-for-hospital-equipment|Help Us Crowdsource Repair Information for Hospital Equipment][br]
… and consider joining us! We’ve been talking with healthcare professionals in our community and around the country, looking for ways to help, and the request for repair documentation has come up over and over again.
We’ve already got over 100 [https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Ventilator|ventilator service manuals] posted online for free, for anyone anywhere in the world to use, ''but we need to find all of them''—and organize them and make them easier to use. And when that’s done, there are other kinds of medical equipment that desperately need the same treatment.
We’ll post more resources and update on our progress in the coming days and weeks. '''Meantime, let’s coordinate here!''' Ask questions, share your findings, and help us figure out what’s missing and where we haven’t looked yet.
