Biomedical Equipment Maintenance Program

Build the biomedical equipment maintenance program your patients, clinicians, surveyors, and organization can trust.
Biomedical Equipment Maintenance Program: Standard Operating Procedures & Best Practices is a comprehensive, action-oriented guide for healthcare technology management leaders, clinical engineers, biomedical equipment technicians, hospital administrators, compliance professionals, and technical teams responsible for medical-device safety, reliability, and readiness.
Medical equipment failures, incomplete records, overdue maintenance, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and inconsistent procedures can threaten patient safety and expose an organization to operational and regulatory risk. This book provides a disciplined framework for turning complex requirements into practical, repeatable controls-from equipment acquisition through maintenance, risk management, documentation, and retirement.
Inside, you will discover how to:

• Design and govern a complete biomedical equipment maintenance program
• Strengthen preventive maintenance, corrective repair, calibration, and electrical safety testing
• Build accurate inventories and defensible CMMS records
• Apply equipment-risk, AEM, CAPA, and quality-improvement methods
• Prepare confidently for regulatory, accreditation, and internal compliance reviews
• Manage cybersecurity, recalls, HAZMAT concerns, procurement, and device supportability
• Develop workforce competency and consistent enterprise oversight
• Adapt ready-to-use SOPs, workflows, checklists, forms, matrices, and field tools

• HTM leaders: Strengthen governance, standardize performance, and build survey-ready operations.
• BMETs: Apply clearer workflows for maintenance, troubleshooting, testing, and documentation.
• Clinical engineers: Improve risk decisions, technology planning, cybersecurity coordination, and lifecycle oversight.
