From infusion pumps to EMS supplies, it is critical to keep all of your biomedical equipment in the best condition possible. Small mistakes–such as drops due to rushing or improper holding mechanisms–can delay care, creating risk to your patients.

With proper biomedical equipment maintenance, including routines for all of your Coast Biomedical Equipment products, you can ensure your team is always ready to go with fast, efficient service. 

Minimizing Adverse Events

When your team is rushing to and from a location, they simply cannot tolerate delays. Yet, studies show that adverse events due to prehospital emergency care can cause fully avoidable errors and stressors. Some of the most common causes of biomedical equipment failure include cleanliness, power failures, and batteries. 

Look beyond this. What simple steps can you take for biomedical equipment maintenance to keep your systems working at their best?

Hire a Professional to Manage Service Needs

The most effective way to ensure proper function and efficiency is to utilize the help of a biomedical and EMS equipment service repair team. If your equipment is malfunctioning, or there is a risk that it will, ensure you seek out a certified technician to handle the repairs. Coast Biomedical Equipment can help you facilitate that process.

Maintain Service Warranty Requirements

A core component of biomedical equipment maintenance is meeting all required preventative tasks to ensure the equipment’s warranty is maintained long-term. This is another reason to call in a professional for guidance. Learn the service recommendations required by the manufacturer; set up routine and consistent service.

Follow Manufacturer Requirements and Recommendations

If you have on-hand staff, ensure they are properly trained to rotate equipment, inspect equipment each shift for condition, and transfer equipment that isn’t working to a refurbishment or repair technician. Create a plan that enables each professional to know what to do if they encounter failed equipment. 

Ensure:

• Visual inspections daily
• Hands-on cleaning after each use
• Reprogramming/recalibration weekly
• Spot-checking routinely based on frequency of use
