Biomedical

Biomedical test equipment refers to devices designed to test the safety, accuracy, and performance of medical equipment. It plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with industry standards and patient safety. Commonly used by medical device manufacturers, private hospitals, healthcare providers, and medical device service companies, it is also essential for public sector health organisations, such as NHS EBME departments, and third-party maintenance providers within the medical device industry.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the role of calibration in distinguishing biomedical test equipment from medical devices?

Calibration ensures biomedical test equipment accurately checks the performance and safety of medical devices. While a medical device is used for diagnostic, therapeutic, or monitoring purposes, biomedical test equipment verifies that the device operates safely and within its intended specifications.

Why is calibration important for medical devices?

Proper calibration ensures that medical devices perform as intended for purposes such as diagnosing, preventing, monitoring, and treating diseases or injuries. Accurate calibration prevents incorrect readings or failures that could compromise patient safety or care quality.

How does biomedical test equipment contribute to the calibration process?

Biomedical test equipment, like the Rigel Medical 288+ electrical safety analyser, is calibrated to ensure it provides precise measurements. This ensures devices, such as a Mindray patient monitor, meet safety standards and function reliably, protecting patients and users from harm.
