Equipment Maintenance Challenges
Preventive maintenance Equipment cannot be located on time leading to non compliance with regulatory requirementsValuable staff time is spent searching for assets due for PMAsset’s availability is unknown
Recall management Requires immediate actionHundreds of specific recalled devices need to be collected throughout the entire facility
Corrective maintenance Repair of broken equipment on an ad hoc basis, after being alerted by users that repair is requiredTimely pick up and repair improves utilization and can increase patient safety
