What is an on call biomedical engineer?

On Call Biomedical Engineers are professionals who specialize in maintaining, troubleshooting, and repairing medical equipment in healthcare settings, and are available to respond to emergencies or urgent technical issues outside of regular working hours. Their primary role is to ensure that critical medical devices are functioning properly to support patient care at all times. This can include equipment such as ventilators, infusion pumps, and diagnostic machines. Being 'on call' means they may be required to work nights, weekends, or holidays as needed to address equipment failures or urgent requests.
