Maintenance Tips for Long-lasting Medical Equipment

Medical equipment is a significant investment — and like any high-performance machinery, it needs consistent care. Whether you're managing a private clinic or a 100-bed multispecialty hospital, proper maintenance ensures safety, compliance, and long-term value.

Why Maintenance Matters:

  • Prevents unexpected breakdowns during critical procedures.
  • Reduces long-term repair and replacement costs.
  • Ensures accurate readings and performance consistency.
  • Keeps you compliant with NABH and biomedical regulations.

Essential Maintenance Tips by Equipment Type:

✅ Diagnostic Equipment (X-Ray, Ultrasound, ECG):

  • Clean probes and sensors daily.
  • Schedule quarterly calibration for imaging systems.
  • Keep air filters and internal fans dust-free.

✅ ICU Equipment (Ventilators, Syringe Pumps, Patient Monitors):

  • Daily self-tests before use.
  • Replace consumables on schedule.
  • Maintain humidity-controlled storage.

✅ Endoscopy Towers:

  • Disinfect scope channels after each procedure.
  • Inspect video processors for wear and moisture regularly.
  • Keep cables coiled properly and labeled.
