Case Studies
A massive wildfire ravaged an industrial town destroying approximately 50% of it and exposing the rest to soot contamination from the burning buildings, cars, vegetation, and other material. Before residents and businesses could return to the town, Emergency Management Services had to be restored including the only hospital in the town. The local authorities engaged J.S. Held’s Equipment Consulting Practice to evaluate the medical equipment to determine the impact and provide remediation/recovery solutions. The medical equipment included magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), catheterization laboratories, CT scanners, X-ray systems, mammograms, ultrasound machines, anesthesiology machines, BioMed devices, laboratory equipment, and a variety of medical systems.
J.S. Held inspected the equipment and collected samples within various systems. We performed the following analytical tests to determine if the impurities found within the systems were corrosive and whether they were from the wildfire incident or the normal operating environment.
These scientific methods demonstrate the following:
