Frequently asked questions
Is preventive maintenance the same as calibration?
No. Preventive maintenance checks condition and readiness, while calibration evaluates measurement or output performance.
How often should PM be done?
Frequency depends on manufacturer guidance, equipment risk, usage, service history and hospital policy.
