BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING MAINTENANCE SERVICES

Time Taken for Safety Test and Performance Test of Biomedical Equipment

With reference to the recommendation form American Society for Healthcare

Engineering, we can estimate the time taken for technician to perform safety test and
performance test as follow:

Refer to the table below, if we check on the Blood Gas Analyzer, the table indicate
that :

¾ Safety Test- One / Year.

¾ PPM : Planned Preventive Maintenance : - twice / year.
¾ Safety – T : Time taken to perform safety test : -0.2 hours..
¾ PM – Min : Minimum time to perform performance tests : - 0.5 hrs.
¾ PM – Max : Minimum time to perform performance tests : - 1.5 hrs

Rest of equipment can be calculated in the similar manner.
