Why is preventative maintenance important for your medical equipment?

Preventive maintenance is an important part of keeping your medical equipment in top condition. It is a regularly scheduled service visit by a qualified technician to clean, out-of-range test, and inspect your medical equipment for any potential issues. Through regular preventative maintenance by an Auxo Medical professional, issues with your medical equipment can often be detected before it breaks down, thus avoiding the cost of repairs and the inevitable downtime it would cause. The technician will be able to identify any potential factors that could lead to a breakdown, such as worn or defective parts or improper usage. Maintenance helps ensure that medical equipment is properly functioning, which is key for providing accurate, efficient care. Preventive maintenance also helps extend the life of your medical equipment, so you don’t need to prematurely replace your investments. Finally, regular maintenance helps maintain the safety of your medical equipment and its users.

 

What are the benefits of Auxo Medical’s preventative maintenance?

The benefits of preventative maintenance are numerous. Regular service visits by our qualified service technicians help to extend the longevity of your medical equipment, increase its performance and accuracy, and reduce the risk of unanticipated and costly repairs. Preventative maintenance may also help you avoid costly downtime due to repairs, as any potential problems can be discovered and fixed in a timely manner. In addition, preventative maintenance helps ensure that medical equipment is functioning as intended for patient and staff safety. Regulatory and medical design standards must be met, and maintenance helps ensure that all safety requirements are abided by. Finally, preventive maintenance provides a unique opportunity for staff training and demonstration of proper use, as the technician can provide guidance and answer any questions.

 

How often should you perform preventative maintenance on your medical equipment?

The frequency of preventive maintenance depends on a few factors, including the type of medical equipment, whether it’s used for patient diagnostics, or general use. The manufacturer’s recommendations should be followed for the particular medical equipment, as this will ensure optimal performance and accuracy. Additionally, if any changes are made to the equipment, the frequency of maintenance may need to be adjusted accordingly. Keeping in contact with your Auxo Medical team regarding maintenance and repair will ensure uptime and accuracy of your equipment.

 

What are some tips for preventative maintenance?

Performing preventative maintenance on your medical equipment is a key part of ensuring it functions properly and lasts a long time. Here are some tips to help keep your equipment in top shape:
  1. Follow the manufacturer’s maintenance recommendations as closely as possible.
  2. Schedule preventive maintenance visits at least once a year.
  3. Be sure to have a qualified technician perform secure installations and repair work.
  4. Ensure that all your medical equipment is adequately cleaned and appropriately organized.
