Which area of expertise would NOT typically be associated with a BMET's responsibilities?

A Biomedical Equipment Technician (BMET) primarily focuses on the maintenance and management of medical equipment, ensuring that devices function safely and effectively in a healthcare setting. This includes responsibilities like equipment calibration, medical device repair, and quality assurance testing.

Patient diagnosis, on the other hand, falls within the realm of healthcare professionals such as physicians, nurses, and specialists who are trained to evaluate patient conditions and determine diagnoses. While BMETs play a crucial role in supporting these professionals through the maintenance of the equipment they use, they do not typically engage in diagnosing patients themselves. Their expertise lies in ensuring that the technology works properly for those making clinical decisions rather than in interpreting clinical symptoms or making medical judgments.
