Everything BiomedRx publishes on hospital equipment preventive maintenance in one place: the full service overview, the related services we provide, and the locations we cover.
This is the index for hospital equipment preventive maintenance. If you already know which service you need, go straight to it below; if not, the full overview explains what each one covers.
Preventive maintenance is the work you do so the repair call never happens. Inspection, cleaning, wear-part replacement and performance verification, on a schedule set by the manufacturer and the device's own history — done properly it converts unplanned downtime into planned downtime, which is the whole point.
Work is performed to manufacturer specification and the applicable regulatory standard, and the record says which one was applied.
The value of preventive maintenance shows up in what does not happen: the procedure that is not cancelled, the loaner that is not needed, the overnight call that does not come. That makes it easy to underfund and expensive to have underfunded.
Scope is written down before the work begins, including what is excluded. Most disputes about equipment service are really disputes about scope that nobody put in writing.
A complete equipment history changes capital planning from an argument into an evidence question. Departments that can show failure rates and repair spend per device get replacement budget; departments that cannot, do not.
There is no charge for the conversation that establishes whether you need this service at all.
