Everything Aloha Biomedical publishes on medical equipment field service in one place: the full service overview, the related services we provide, and the locations we cover.
Below is every page Aloha Biomedical maintains for medical equipment field service — the complete overview, the related services, and the surrounding locations our technicians cover.
The measure of field service is first-visit resolution. A second trip for a part that could have been anticipated is downtime the facility pays for twice.
Technicians are qualified for the equipment they touch, and the qualification is on file rather than asserted.
Field service means the technician comes to the equipment, which is the right model for devices that cannot leave the department without cancelling a day's work. It puts a premium on arriving prepared.
On-site work has to fit around clinical operations rather than the other way round. Scheduling around the theatre list is part of the job, not a favour.
Work is performed to manufacturer specification and the applicable regulatory standard, and the record says which one was applied.
Every visit produces documentation an inspector can read without a translator: what was done, to what standard, by whom, and when it is next due.
Findings are reported plainly, including the ones that mean a device should be taken out of service.
On-site work has to fit around clinical operations rather than the other way round. Scheduling around the theatre list is part of the job, not a favour.
Communication is part of the deliverable. If a device is going to be out longer than quoted, you hear it when it becomes true, not when you call to ask where it is.
Gaps in a maintenance record are read as gaps in maintenance, whether or not the work was done. The paperwork and the work are the same obligation.
There is no charge for the conversation that establishes whether you need this service at all.
Current developments in medical equipment field service, with sources for further reading.
Primary regulations and standards referenced on this page. Where a standard is published commercially it is named in full rather than linked to a copy.
