Medical equipment maintenance
Plan the maintenance of your medical devices
To reduce the likelihood of medical devices malfunctioning, periodic preventive maintenance must be carried out.
Our preventive inspection services are carried out according to predetermined technical criteria, specified in the manufacturers’ operating and service manuals.
Each inspection includes a simulator test, a general function test and, for some devices, an electrical test. This also includes checking consumables to ensure correct use of the medical device on patients.
Preventive maintenance also aims to reduce the risk of breakdowns and maintain equipment performance over time, to ensure safe operation.
Swixed produces a report for each device inspected. It records the values given by the device during simulation or electrical testing. It may or may not certify that the system is working properly.
