WHEN PURCHASING EQUIPMENT

The first thing you need to do is to make sure of the quality of the equipment.  You should only go to an established medical equipment supplier with an extensive collection of new and recertified products of well-known brands.  Dealers should guarantee proper warranty and after sales service.  Make sure that you have a good equipment service contract as well as an installation and repair solution for all the equipment you purchase.  Check to see if your dealer also, has factory trained technicians with expertise to provide you with the on-site service.

Whether you purchase brand new or recertified, it is necessary that the equipment’s performance is evaluated frequently.  Though modern laboratory devices are designed with sophisticated technology and specifications, proper and timely post purchase maintenance services is important to ensure their functioning.  Efficient maintenance and revamping services offered by an established laboratory equipment supplier make certain that all apparatus in your facility function well.

KEEP YOUR MEDICAL EQUIPMENT UP TO DATE

With increased focus on patient safety, reputable hospitals and lab practices have to concentrate on measures designed to prevent adverse events resulting from medical errors.  The repair and maintenance of your devices should be carried out by qualified and trained personnel or technicians.  Some medical equipment also, require oiling or lubrication.  The oil and liquid used should also be kept in parameters, prescribed by the manufacturer.  All equipment parts are to be checked and verified, and faulty components should be replaced.   All devices should be checked often and inspection reports submitted to the head of the lab or institution.
