Biomedical Equipment Maintenance and Repair - Auxo Medical

What Kinds of Biomedical Equipment Repair Does Auxo Medical Offer?

Auxo Medical is a leading provider of biomedical equipment repair services for healthcare providers across the United States. Since 1998, we have been a trusted partner for healthcare facilities in need of equipment maintenance and repair services. If you need a piece of medical equipment serviced, repaired, or replaced, our expert technicians are up to the task.

Here are the different types of repair services offered by Auxo Medical:

Preventive Maintenance

Preventive maintenance is the key to keeping biomedical equipment functioning at its best. We perform regular preventive maintenance on equipment so that healthcare facilities can avoid dealing with costly breakdowns. Preventative maintenance is also an effective way to keep all fundamental equipment operating within manufacturer specifications.

Auxo Medical offers a wide range of maintenance services, including equipment cleaning, calibration, and testing. Our team of highly trained technicians can perform these services on a variety of equipment. From anesthesia machines to patient monitors, we can help keep your equipment in top condition.

On-site Repair

When equipment breaks down, it can be disruptive to patient care and costly to the facility. Broken equipment can be especially problematic at emergency facilities or locations with a high patient volume. To deliver each patient the care that they need and deserve, you need your equipment to work reliably.

We understand the importance of timely solutions to unexpected breakdowns. That is why Auxo Medical offers on-site biomedical equipment repair services. Our goal is to minimize downtime and get your equipment back up and running quickly. Our technicians are equipped with the tools and expertise to diagnose and repair equipment directly within your facility, minimizing the need for costly equipment replacements.

Depot Repair

In some cases, it may be more cost-effective to send equipment off-site for repair. This is especially true for complicated equipment or machines that require specific parts. Broken specialty components sometimes need to be ordered and shipped from manufacturers, which can take time. Off-site repair may also be necessary so technicians can have any specialty tools and supplies they may need for a full repair service.

Auxo Medical’s depot repair services allow healthcare facilities to send equipment to our state-of-the-art repair facility for diagnosis and repair. We offer a quick turnaround time for depot repairs, making sure that you get your equipment back as soon as possible.

Parts and Accessories

Along with our professional repair services, Auxo Medical also offers a wide selection of parts and accessories for biomedical equipment. Our inventory includes parts for patient monitors, infusion pumps, ventilators, and more. We also offer accessories such as cables, leads, and probes to help keep each machine functioning at its best.

Parts and accessories can be useful when you would like to upgrade rather than replace a piece of equipment. Hiring a professional to come and add the desired components to the machine may save you time and money in the long run.

Equipment Sales and Rentals

For small facilities or low-priority tasks, it can be more cost-effective to rent or purchase refurbished equipment. Our refurbishing facilities accept old equipment from companies that are expanding or upgrading. This equipment is often in good condition, and our refurbishing specialists work to bring each piece up to industry standard. The goal is to offer providers a more affordable alternative to brand-new equipment.

Auxo Medical has a variety of sales and rental options to meet the needs of healthcare facilities. Our inventory includes a wide range of equipment, from infusion pumps to surgical lights. We also offer flexible rental options to accommodate facilities’ changing needs.

Safety Testing and Inspections

The safety of patients and staff is a top priority for healthcare facilities. Auxo Medical offers safety testing and inspections to help your company comply with local regulations and industry requirements. This is a proactive way to help avoid future risks and potential costs associated with malfunctioning machinery.

Our technicians can regularly service your equipment to verify that it is functioning safely and properly. They are trained to perform safety testing and inspections on a variety of equipment, including electrical safety testing, gas leak testing, and performance testing.

Biomedical Consulting

Beyond regular repair and maintenance services, Auxo Medical offers biomedical consulting services. In the ever-evolving world of medical technology, we’re here to keep you up to date on your best options.

We work hard to help facilities make informed decisions about their medical equipment needs. Our team of experts can provide guidance on equipment purchases, equipment maintenance, and equipment retirement to help facilities make the most of their investments.

Internet of Medical Things (IoT): The Vast Impact Inside & Outside of Hospital Walls

A patient’s heart monitor sends an alert to a physician that her arrhythmia is back.

A senior forgets to take their prescribed medication on time, and a devices helps remind them to take it and also documents what time they took it.

 A man’s implanted device monitors blood glucose symptoms and delivers a corrective insulin stimulus, alerting the physician simultaneously.

All of these examples are the epitome of the “Internet of Medical Things” (IoMT). The Internet of Medical Things refers to an ecosystem of medical devices and applications that collect data that is then provided to healthcare IT systems through online computer networks. Wi-Fi enabled devices are a catalyst for machines to communicate and link to cloud platforms for data storage. The “Internet of Things” (IoT) has influenced several industries, and the healthcare field is no exception. The medical industry across the board has gradually started to enter the integrated world of IoT.

A Look Inside the Expanding Landscape of HAIs

Health care-associated infections (HAIs) are infections that patients acquire while receiving treatment for medical or surgical conditions, and many HAIs are preventable. HAIs can occur in a number of health care facilities, such as acute care hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, outpatient care e.g. physicians’ offices and clinics, dialysis treatment facilities, and long-term care facilities e.g. rehabilitation centers and nursing homes. HAIs can be caused by bacteria, fungi, viruses, or other pathogens.

Outpatient is the Future of Total Joint Replacement

Ambulatory Surgery Centers are Paving the Way

Outpatient is the Future of Total Joint Replacement

 

Elective outpatient hip and knee replacements increased by 47 percent from 2012 to 2015, according to a study by Sg2. This insight is an early indicator that total joint replacements (TJR) are becoming more common in the Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) setting as a higher number of surgeons become experts on minimally invasive technology and pain management techniques for outpatient procedures.

Total joint surgeries moving toward outpatient can also be attributed to:

  • The transition to value-based care since ASCs are a high quality, low cost option
  • Insurance companies are more willing to cover outpatient TJRs
  • Studies show that patients who fit a particular criteria can achieve desired results in the outpatient setting

In this month’s newsletter, we’re peeling back the TJR outpatient trends, cost analysis, and how ASCs are taking a driver’s seat in the total joint arena.

ASCs Bring Extra Value in Value-Based Care

Value-Based Care

Value-based healthcare is a delivery model in which providers are compensated based on patient health outcomes. Under value-based care agreements, providers (including hospitals and physicians) are recognized for helping patients improve their health, reduce the ramifications and incidence of chronic disease, and live a healthier lifestyle in an evidence-based process.

Value-based care is different from a traditional fee-for-service (FFS) approach. FFS providers are paid based on the amount of healthcare services they deliver. The “value” in value-based healthcare is derived from measuring health outcomes against the cost of delivering the outcomes.
