Service overview
Performance Qualification (PQ) for healthcare organisations
PQ evaluates equipment performance in the intended use environment or process. It follows IQ and OQ in many qualification workflows and helps show routine performance suitability.
This page is written for hospital administrators, biomedical engineers, quality teams and procurement teams who are comparing service partners for performance qualification (pq). The exact scope, method, location and accreditation status are confirmed only after reviewing your equipment list and requirement.
What this service covers
- PQ protocol and acceptance criteria review
- Routine-use condition checks
- Repeated observation or measurement support where required
- Documentation of results and deviations
- Final report support for qualification files
Why it matters
Evidence of performance in intended use helps the biomedical and quality team keep equipment decisions evidence based and easier to review.
Better audit and validation documentation helps the biomedical and quality team keep equipment decisions evidence based and easier to review.
Clearer decision making before routine release helps the biomedical and quality team keep equipment decisions evidence based and easier to review.
Support for lifecycle qualification helps the biomedical and quality team keep equipment decisions evidence based and easier to review.

Frequently asked questions
What is PQ?
Performance Qualification documents whether equipment performs as intended under defined routine-use conditions.
Is PQ always required?
PQ depends on equipment criticality, process risk, regulatory expectations and the customer's quality system.
Can PQ be done without IQ and OQ?
In many workflows PQ follows IQ and OQ, but the required sequence should be defined in the customer's protocol.
