When speaking with a few healthcare executives recently, we were reminded of how important it is to have a well-run process to manage the calibration and repair of medical equipment.

This includes having an accurate inventory of all of the devices in a clinic, dates of purchase, warranty, calibration need dates, manufacturer, etc. Many clinics still maintain only paper record or no records at all, where the best practice is now to keep this up to date in a software system or at least an on-line spreadsheet like a google sheet or something that multiple people can access.

Scales have been used since the beginning of medicine. They are important benchmarks of an individual’s health. This doesn’t just mean how much a patient weighs, but also their percentage of body fat and how their weight relates to their height and age.

Physical Therapy offices need more than just experienced staff — they need well-calibrated, high-tech equipment to provide quality care. Obviously, ‘equipment’ is a broad term that encompasses thousands of devices and advances made over the course of decades.

To provide quality medical care, nursing homes are constantly looking to stay up to date, whether that means buying the newest equipment or maintaining a rigorous standard of frequent repair and calibration.

Many medical devices are built to be durable, however there are some that, due to frequent use or by nature of their build, need to be repaired or calibrated more frequently. Below, we list common medical devices that are most likely to need a ‘check-up’ of their own.

Healthcare has come a long way since simple antibiotics. Today, surgery is assisted by carefully calculated chemical compounds and robotic assistants. In labs across the country, organs and genetic codes are being duplicated and experimented with. The medical equipment industry is bursting with innovation.

Hospitals need more than just experienced staff — they need well-calibrated, high-tech equipment to provide quality care. Obviously, ‘equipment’ is a broad term that encompasses thousands of devices and advances made over the course of decades.
