12 A company checks its electrical equipment every three years. To help make sure that every          For
   item is checked at the correct time, the company has decided to put barcodes on the             Examiner's
                                                                                                      Use
   equipment. The barcode contains:

    •    type of equipment (e.g. monitor)
    •    location (e.g. Room 507)

    Every time equipment is checked, the barcode is scanned and the data stored on a file.

    (a) Give one other piece of information that should be on the barcodes.



                                                                                             [1]


    (b) Give one example of other information that should be stored on the file itself.

    (c) Give two advantages of this system rather than using sticky labels on the equipment
        marked, for example, “Do not use after May 2007”.

18 Monitoring of patients’ vital signs (e.g. heartbeat) in a hospital is done automatically using                                                           For
   sensors and computer hardware. Readings are shown on a screen both as a graph and as                                                                  Examiner's
