Abstract
This paper describes the process to establish a recommended minimum standard of practice for medical device preventive maintenance (PM) and performance assurance (PA) inspections in B.C. hospitals. This is a project embarked by the Clinical Engineering Committee of B.C. (CECBC) in 2003/04 to assist biomedical engineering departments to assess their medical device PM/PA requirements. A simple ranking system based on risk and utilization of each type of medical device was developed as a first level criterion to determine PM/PA requirements. Based on this ranking system, each hospital region then reviewed their list of medical devices and assigned their own ranking scores and PM/PA intervals. The scores and intervals were reviewed by the CECBC to arrive at a consensus of the minimum mandatory and recommended PM/PA interval for each of the common device types. The result for this exercise is included in this paper. In addition, a list of essential PM/PA procedures for each device type is being developed as part of this project.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
