Maintenance of medical devices in Switzerland

Medical equipment maintenance

Preventive maintenance of medical devices

To keep medical equipment running smoothly, it’s important to schedule regular maintenance. What’s more, these checks help anticipate breakdowns and improve equipment reliability.

At Swixed, work is carried out in accordance with manufacturers’ recommendations and recognized standards. Every step is documented and follows a clear process. Each check includes functional tests, a simulator test and, if necessary, an electrical check. Thanks to this approach, technical problems can be anticipated. As a result, equipment remains safe and efficient.

Our technicians draw up a precise report after each intervention. In short, this document indicates the values measured and confirms the condition of the device.

Key points:

Tests in accordance with manufacturers’ recommendations
Checking consumables
Electrical test carried out when required
Detailed technical report after each maintenance

Plan regular maintenance

Benefits for medical equipment

Preventive maintenance offers a number of tangible benefits. Firstly, it reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns. In fact, regular checks help to extend equipment life and limit downtime. What’s more, properly maintained equipment provides more reliable measurements. As a result, healthcare professionals have access to consistent, comparable results over time.

Consequently, scheduling maintenance at fixed intervals remains the simplest way of securing equipment investments while complying with official recommendations.

Reports and traceability of controls

Clear, compliant documentation

A detailed report is drawn up for each intervention. This document also summarizes the tests carried out and the values recorded. Thanks to this traceability, it’s easy to track the history of each device and prove its conformity in the event of an audit.

In addition, these reports provide a useful basis for planning future interventions. Last but not least, they guarantee complete documentation, accessible at all times.

Our services

Inspection and maintenance of medical equipment

Our services cover different types of equipment used in practices and healthcare facilities. What’s more, each service includes a detailed report to ensure complete traceability. Our technicians also use specialized simulators. For example, when checking a defibrillator, an arrhythmia simulator is used to test the device’s response. In addition, consumables such as electrodes and batteries are systematically checked.
