Medical equipment Denver area is the most important investment in the healthcare industry and it requires complex and accurate maintenance procedures to keep good performance and deliver safe and quality medical services.
The maintenance operations, especially for the most critical equipment pieces can be very expensive, making the optimization of the maintenance program a difficult process of analysis, evaluation and decisions, in order to ensure the functionality of the equipment, minimizing the failure rate and extending its service life, in order to obtain the maximum benefit from the use of the device, as well as reducing total costs of ownership.
The life cycle management of medical equipment includes, in addition to the active management of the other structural stages, also the dynamic control of maintenance costs, which, compared to the other operational costs, increase exponentially in the second half of the equipment’s life due to the wear of the components and the increase in the prices charged by the service operators. Taking into account an average service life of 10 years and an annual cost, a complete maintenance contract averages about 8-10% of the purchase value.
In order to optimize the value of the life cycle, managers of healthcare offices must prioritize preventive maintenance, find the balance between in-house maintenance services and professional maintenance checks, and establish the most efficient contract models.
