1985 survey of salaries & job responsibilities for clinical & biomedical engineers & technicians.

The Journal of Clinical Engineering has conducted a broad scope survey of facilities, staffing, wages, benefits, computer equipment, and quality control for Biomedical or Clinical Engineering department in U.S. hospitals. In this two-part, nationwide survey, data were collected from individual on: wages, job responsibilities, certification, union membership, years of employment, and wage increases. The results of the Salary Survey of individuals are presented in this paper. Results of the broader scope Departmental Survey will be presented in a second paper in a subsequent issue of this journal. The present report covers the responses of approximately one thousand individuals and, thus, represents the largest such survey in this field to date. Wages are presented as a function of: hospital bed count, job type, region of country, years of experience, certification, and education. The typical (mean) BMET I has 3.3 years of experience and earns $17,800 +/- $3,900 (Std. Dev.). The typical BMET II has 6.3 years of experience and earns $22,700 +/- $3,900; BMET IIIs have 9.0 years of experience and earn $26,600 +/- $5,100. Clinical or Biomedical Engineers have 10.8 years of experience and earn $30,900 +/- $5,200. Department Heads have 11.8 years of experience and earn $33,500 +/- $7,500. Wages are highest in the West and lowest in the Southeast. From 1984 to 1985, 18 percent of respondents received no raise in pay and 7 percent received pay decreases. Of those receiving positive pay raises, the mean raise was 7.80 percent. Raises were highest in the West. In comparison to medical electronic engineers (IEEE), CEs and BEs earn 34.9 percent less and Department Heads earn 29.4 percent less. The average employee in this field stays with a Hospital for 4.9 years. Certified individuals earn $1,100 to $1,500 more per year.

Tumor immunoscintigraphy by means of radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies: multicenter studies of the Italian National Research Council--Special Project "Biomedical Engineering".

Four radioimmunopharmaceuticals (99mTc- and 111In-labeled anti-melanoma and 111In- and 131I-labeled anti-carcinoembryonic antigen F(ab')2 fragments derived from monoclonal antibodies 225.28S and F023C5) were developed by means of a collaborative effort coordinated by the Italian National Research Council, Special Project "Biomedical Engineering." After appropriate pilot studies, the radioimmunopharmaceuticals, prepared by Sorin Biomedica (Saluggia, Italy), were distributed to 31 Nuclear Medicine departments in Italy and in 10 other European countries within the framework of three immunoscintigraphy multicenter studies. A total of 1245 patients were studied, 898 of whom carried 1725 documented tumor lesions; 1596 of 2193 tumor lesions (468 of which were previously unknown) were imaged by immunoscintigraphy in 785 of 990 lesion-bearing patients. Among the occult lesions, 173 were imaged in 92 patients admitted to the study as lesion-free patients. The results have been analyzed in terms of the reliability, reproducibility, and diagnostic usefulness of the method and of each immunoradiopharmaceutical.
