Q: Why is calibration important in medical fields and laboratory settings?
A: Accuracy matters a great deal in both medical fields and laboratory settings. In some cases, there can be major consequences if readings are even slightly off. That’s why our team is committed to excellence in laboratory and medical equipment repair and calibration in Houston, TX. Calibration is the process of adjusting an instrument to ensure it provides accurate and reliable service.
Q: What are the three types of equipment maintenance?
A: Medical equipment technicians will tell you that there are three types of maintenance: corrective, preventative, and predictive. Corrective maintenance fixes things that are broken; in essence, they are repairs. Preventative maintenance spreads out (and even reduces) costs by planning inspections and minor repairs on a regular basis to prevent the need for major repairs. Predictive maintenance forecasts when a part will soon fail and attempts to prevent the failure from occurring. All three types should be part of any medical facility’s upkeep routine.
Q: How often should you have your equipment checked?
A: Here at Unique BioMedical Services, we understand that different types of equipment have varying maintenance needs, so it’s difficult to prescribe a one-size-fits-all approach to inspections. We recommend talking to our knowledgeable staff to determine what schedule is sensible for your facility.
