Rudie was off to Flinders Island and Cape Barren Island this week, to service multiple sites that we visit annually to ensure their Electrical Safety Testing is always up to date. Biomedics loves being able to service the whole of Tasmania 🛬

Sadly the weather was not at its best so we couldn't share many photos with you, however, we have been lucky enough to be able to share some stunning photos of Flinders Island, taken by the very talented, Luke Tscharke Photography 📷 www.luketscharke.com

Preventive maintenance of your medical equipment is essential for ensuring better performance and reduced downtime.

Planned preventive maintenance may cause small hindrance, but pales in comparison to actual downtime of equipment caused by a malfunction.

✔️ Less down time
✔️ Longer life-span
✔️ Improved safety

Biomedics will perform preventative maintenance on your equipment, according to manufacturer’s recommendations. On conclusion of preventive maintenance, Biomedics will supply detailed documentation, noting any subsequent actions/repairs that may be needed.

Do you know the importance of Performance Verifications?

Performance verification (sometimes referred to as performance validation) means providing objective evidence that medical equipment complies with the manufacturer’s specifications.

These specifications define the accuracy, precision, and other qualities of the equipment that allows it to meet the requirements of its intended use.

Verification testing can help qualify the device to continue to be used and identify equipment that needs attention before it can be safely used again.

During verification tests, engineers may detect damage, wear, and other variables that can lead to device failure, and perform preventive maintenance to ensure the equipment will continue to be reliable.

Biomedics performs servicing and performance verifications of all medical equipment – from hospitals to doctor’s surgeries, dentists, aged care and physiotherapist clinics. We work with clients across Tasmania who need their medical equipment serviced and verified on a yearly basis.

👉 Avoid costly downtime and keep your medical equipment operating safely.

Why are performance verifications important for your medical equipment?

👉 Reduced downtime
👉 Cost savings
👉 Adhere to AS/NZS standards
👉 Ensure patient safety

If you are not up to date, give us a call and we can coordinate a suitable time that works best for your practice/clinic.
