Important Maintenance Tips to Extend Lifespan of Medical Devices

Routine checks on all devices are required for device maintenance and life extension. This tip assists in recognizing when the device begins to malfunction or has potential issues before they develop into faults.


Fremont, CA: Medical devices are instruments that are used in the medical field to diagnose or treat patients. Maintenance of medical devices is critical; it entails implementing all measures related to providing the appropriate level of services the devices will render, as well as limiting downtime of such devices in medical facilities.


The following are the basic maintenance tips for extending the lifespan of medical devices.


Train and Retain Employees


This step is critical; medical staff must be trained on how to properly maintain their devices. Some devices, for example, should never be dropped near metals or on the floor, whereas others should be cleaned or sterilized and returned to their respective cases/boxes after use. 


An untrained employee may cause a device to fail if he or she does not understand how to use it or mishandles it.


Carrying out a Daily Routine Check


Routine checks on all devices are required for device maintenance and life extension. This tip assists in recognizing when the device begins to malfunction or has potential issues before they develop into faults. A daily check ensures that the device is in good working order before it is used for the day's activities.


Maintain a Clean Work Environment


The importance of a clean environment in ensuring that your medical device lasts as long as it should not be overstated. Food, fluids, and flammable substances should be avoided in your workplace so that they do not come into contact with your devices. Make sure that all of your medical devices are kept clean and tidy after use, that sample containers are thoroughly cleaned and dried, and that used consumables are disposed of properly.
