The Power of Preventive Maintenance for Surgical and Exam Tables
Downtime in the OR or exam room isn’t just inconvenient—it’s costly and risky. Our preventive maintenance (PM) programs follow OEM guidelines and industry standards to identify issues early, preventing major breakdowns. Regular preventive maintenance for surgical tables and exam tables can reduce repair needs by up to 50% and support your facility’s safety protocols.
Key Elements of Our Surgical/OR Table PM Checklist:
- Functional Performance Tests: Verify smooth operation of height adjustment, backrest, leg sections, lateral tilt, Trendelenburg positioning, reverse Trendelenburg, and kidney bridge elevation.
- Stability and Load Testing: Check weight capacity, brake functionality, locking mechanisms, and floor grip to ensure patient safety.
- Electrical Safety Inspections: Conduct tests based on IEC 60601-1 standards, including ground continuity and leakage current.
- Component Evaluations: Inspect power cords, hand controls, foot pedals, limit switches, hydraulic systems (leaks, seals, fluid levels), actuators (motion range, noise levels, calibration), and mechanical parts like bearings, gears, and rails.
- Surface and Structural Checks: Examine table tops, radiolucent panels for cracks or misalignment, X-ray compatibility, fasteners, covers, and base integrity.
- Routine Care: Clean, lubricate, and make minor adjustments per instructions for use (IFU), followed by detailed reporting, pass/fail documentation, and scheduling labels.
Exam and Procedure Table PM Essentials:
- Motion and Articulation Tests: Ensure height, backrest, tilt, stirrups, drawers, and head/leg sections move fluidly without hesitation.
- Electrical and Control System Reviews: Test fuses, transformers, wiring, gas springs, actuators, and controls for reliability.
- Base and Accessory Inspections: Evaluate casters, leveling feet, mounts, and upholstery for wear, foam degradation, or damage.
- Final Steps: Thorough cleaning, lubrication, adjustments, and comprehensive service records to track compliance.
With our PM services, you get peace of mind knowing your OR table repair and exam chair repair needs are anticipated, not reactive.
