Medical Equipment Maintenance

Ensuring your medical equipment remains operational, calibrated, and compliant — from user-level care to specialized engineering.

The Hidden Cost of Poor Maintenance

Medical equipment brings both benefits and challenges. Lack of a maintenance policy can result in no advance planning for maintenance budgets — no availability of spares and accessories. Many laboratories and healthcare programs suffer because installation and maintenance requirements are not planned in advance.

Two Types of Equipment Maintenance

🔧

Corrective Maintenance (Repair)

Done to take corrective action in the event of a breakdown of equipment. The equipment is returned repaired and calibrated to manufacturer specifications.

📅

Planned Preventive Maintenance

Work done in a planned way before repair is required, with the schedule circulated well in advance. Involves cleaning, regular function/safety tests, and ensures problems are caught while small.

Three Levels of Maintenance

A structured approach ensuring the right level of expertise is applied to every maintenance task.

Level 1User (First-line)

User (First-line) Maintenance

The user or technician cleans filters, checks fuses, checks power supplies, etc. — without opening the unit and without moving it away from the point of use.

Level 2Technician

Technician Maintenance

Performed when first-line maintenance cannot rectify a fault, or when a six-monthly check is due. Requires trained technical personnel.

Level 3Specialized

Specialized Maintenance

Equipment such as CT Scanners, MRIs, etc. require specialized engineers and technicians trained specifically for that equipment.
