Bio-Medical Inspections are most done in Nursing Homes, Out-Patient & Plastic Surgery Centers or Larger Medical Groups that conform to either state, or accredited organizations such as JCHACO, AAAASF, AAAHC or the State’s Health Department Agency New York, Connecticut or New Jersey.

Ensuring the safety and reliability of medical equipment is paramount in any healthcare setting. At Medicanix, we prioritize biomedical and electrical safety to protect patients, healthcare providers, and your valuable equipment. Our comprehensive safety services are designed to identify and mitigate potential hazards, ensuring that your medical devices operate safely and efficiently.

Importance of Biomedical and Electrical Safety

Medical devices, from diagnostic imaging systems to patient monitors, play a crucial role in patient care. Any malfunction or electrical fault can have serious consequences, potentially compromising patient safety and care quality. Adhering to strict biomedical and electrical safety standards helps to:

  • Prevent Equipment Failures: Regular safety checks and maintenance can identify issues before they lead to equipment failure, ensuring continuous operation.

  • Enhance Patient Safety: Properly maintained and safe equipment reduces the risk of harm to patients, ensuring they receive accurate diagnoses and treatments.

  • Protect Healthcare Staff: Ensuring electrical safety minimizes the risk of electric shock and other hazards to healthcare providers.

  • Comply with Regulations: Adherence to safety standards ensures compliance with healthcare regulations and accreditation requirements, avoiding potential legal and financial penalties.

Comprehensive Safety Inspections

Our biomedical and electrical safety services include thorough inspections and testing of all your medical equipment. Our highly trained and certified technicians perform a range of safety checks, including:

  • Visual Inspections: Examining equipment for any visible signs of wear, damage, or tampering that could compromise safety.

  • Electrical Safety Testing: Conducting electrical safety tests to detect potential hazards such as leakage currents, grounding issues, and insulation faults.

  • Functional Testing: Ensuring that all devices operate correctly and safely, performing as intended under various conditions.

  • Calibration Checks: Verifying that equipment is accurately calibrated to deliver precise measurements and results.

  • Documentation and Reporting: Providing detailed reports of all inspections and tests, including any issues identified and actions taken.

Specialized Safety Services

In addition to routine safety inspections, we offer specialized services to address specific safety concerns:

  • Preventive Maintenance: Regular maintenance schedules to keep equipment in optimal condition and prevent safety issues from arising.

  • Emergency Repairs: Swift response to any safety-related equipment failures, minimizing downtime and restoring safe operation quickly.

  • Training and Support: Educating your staff on best practices for equipment use and maintenance, enhancing overall safety and performance.

  • Regulatory Compliance Assistance: Helping your facility meet all relevant safety standards and regulations, including those set by organizations such as the Joint Commission, FDA, and OSHA.

Electrical safety inspection

An Electrical Safety Inspection is an onsite inspection, where all cord-connected medical equipment that comes in contact with patients or is used in patient vicinity must pass an annual bio-medical electrical safety test. This is an inspection in which the current in the ground wire is measured and must comply with NFPA99 specifications. The equipment is then stickered with a “passed” or “failed” sticker specifying the date in which it was inspected. After the safety inspection is completed, a report is generated, listing all inspected equipment with the status and measurement.

In order to make it easy to see if an item has been missed or not yet inspected, Medicanix changes the inspection label colors every year. These labels are generally a bright color and easy to see. They are however, put in locations that are less of an eye sore. You are welcome to specify the location of your inspection label as long as it can still be seen by a state or accreditation inspector.
