This course is designed to be a direct continuation of electronics fundamentals. The student will study individual circuits using such devices as FETs, UJTs, SCRs and linear ICs with emphasis on amplifiers and switching circuits. All circuits discussed will be directly related to their application within biomedical equipment. The biomedical equipment technician must know the underlying physiological principles with which the medical equipment is designed to interface. This course is designed specifically for the level of understanding expected of the biomedical equipment technician with emphasis on the cell, the nervous system, muscular system, circulatory and respiratory systems.
