Planned Preventative Maintenance for Medical Equipment

Preventive Maintenance Services

Preventive Maintenance or “PM” service is an equipment inspection and functionality test. Due to the vital nature of some medical equipment for extending un-interrupted patient care, it is often the best practice to have the equipment periodically serviced to avoid unexpected equipment failures. Such tests may be as simple as a functionality test, whereas other equipment may require more extensive servicing such as, lubrication of moving parts, wear part replacements (gaskets and filters), and/or extensive cleaning of vital areas of the equipment. Medicanix can help your office with such services.

Medical devices that are properly maintained are not only safer for your patients, but also for your staff. With a yearly preventative maintenance, problems can be detected early so that you aren’t scrambling in an emergency.

These routine maintenance can help your office function more efficiently. Plus taking a proactive approach will help to save you money. Equipment damages can sometimes be costly, however if the problem is found early there is the potential to fix the problem before the issue becomes worse. On the other hand, by leaving a system without preventative maintenance, it could break down and force your office to reschedule appointments or call for emergency services.
