Biomedical equipment repair and servicing require you to send the devices to the technician. In doing so, it is critical to take steps to protect that equipment from any damage. As sensitive equipment, it requires careful planning.

When you set up biomedical equipment servicing with Coast Biomedical Equipment, we will give you tips on how to safely transport these devices to us.

Strategies for Protecting Your Equipment

Medical facilities, including EMT operations, must ensure routine equipment maintenance. To do so, they need to have professional services handle the biomedical equipment maintenance at a distance. Follow these tips when shipping out this sensitive equipment to minimize further risk of damage:

• Ensure proper boxes are used. This should include a sturdy box, designed specifically for medical equipment use when possible. Custom-built boxes are ideal. Always use ATA-approved cases for the highest level of protection.
• Cushioning is critical. This includes the use of foam inserts, including custom-cut foam, for the highest level of protection. 
• Anti-static protection is also necessary. Use anti-static wraps for this type of sensitive equipment and electronic components. 
• Monitor travel plans. Temperature and humidity-sensitive items need to be shipped with care in controlled environments. 
• Double boxing is ideal for any equipment considered fragile, as it absorbs more of the shock and keeps items from moving.
