Patient Safety has always been a primary focus under our provision of Biomedical Engineering maintenance services. With increased awareness of patient safety issues, medical equipment by nature of its intimate contact with the patient is often a factor in patient safety issues. The safety of the patients at your facilities is the primary goal of this equipment management program. In view of this an aggressive equipment management program is essential in order to assure a safe environment for patients, visitors and staff. Biomedical Engineering is uniquely qualified to address preventative and corrective procedures for medical devices.
Education of Clinical Staff
- Equipment Use - Monitor "User Errors"
- Periodic Training of Critical Life Support Equipment (i.e.,Defibrillators)
- Training Need Analysis
Cross-over of Maintenance to Safety
- Repair vs. Replace
- Beyond Life Cycle
- Failure of Critical Components
- Equipment Adequacy
Equipment Testing for Safety
- Electrical safety and Performance testing as per IEC 60601-1 standards are carried out during service and before handing over the equipment to the user for clinical use.
