Biomed Certification Study Guide
Biomed Certification Study Guide prepared by Dave Harrington for the CMIA California Medical Instrumentation Association
Dave Harrington has been involved with medical instrumentation since 1964, right after he blew out his knee playing hockey. First he was doing design work on IV and ventilator products and some physiological recording systems that was followed by time as a product manager and then sales of medical devices before going to the Tufts New England Medical Center for close to 20 years. While there he was the instructor on Biomedical Technology at the Franklin Institute in Boston, for over 17 years, and also presented courses at Wentworth Institute, Tufts, MIT and various community colleges in the New England area. After retiring from Tufts he managed a program that sent devices and provided training to medical personnel around the world. Harrington has done projects in over 50 countries around the world. After a 10 year stint at Technology in Medicine, he retired again to concentrate on international development work. He has over 90 publications, many in 24 X 7 where he wrote the ICC prep series for about 5 years and over 100 presentations to biomedical meetings around the world.

Biomedical Equipment Technician (BMET) certification is a positive step in a lifelong career in the medical equipment maintenance profession.
The BioMed Ed Website has been created to provide study guides and sample exam questions for those preparing to take the CBET certification. This material is not intended to “teach” individuals, but rather review and renew materials that have been learned through education, training and work experience.
When you register for one of the webinar courses, here is what you receive:
•Live Webinars – Participation in live webinars of CBET topic course from your location. During the live interactive webinar; listen, watch and ask questions to the instructor and the participants. You can also add comments to add to the presentation. Most webinars begin at 6:00 pm eastern standard time on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday evening
•Recorded Webinars – In the event you miss a webinar you can watch one at your convenience. Each CBET topic course has 3 videos that are approximately 1 hour long (for the 3 hour session) and can be down loaded from the website.
•Handouts – Each CBET topic course has handouts in pdf format that you can view and print from the website.
•Topic Specific Quizzes – These are practice quizzes on each CBET course area that you take on line. As soon as you are completed with all of the questions, it is graded displaying the correct and incorrect responses. You can take these as many times as you like.
•Scrambled Quizzes – For each CBET topic course, there is a question bank that you can select 10-20-30-50 questions to take as a practice quiz. Each time the questions are randomly selected and scrambled, so you will get different questions on each attempt. You can take these as many times as you like and it will display the correct and incorrect responses.
•References for Additional Study Materials – There are web links, other handouts and recommendations for other study materials.
•Up to 6 Months Access to the Website – Based upon when you create your account and make payment, you can have access to the website to begin study preparation months in advance. Registrations run from November – April and May – October each year (these are based upon the exam scheduled dates of the first week in May and November).
