Accreditation surveys often feel stressful, especially around medical equipment management. Yet with systematic preparation, most findings can be avoided. Here is a practical checklist.
1. Medical Equipment Inventory
- List of all medical devices with brand, type, and serial number.
- Condition status (good / faulty / under repair).
- Placement location of each device.
2. Maintenance Documents
- Maintenance SOPs for each device type.
- Annual maintenance schedule.
- Completed maintenance cards.
- Maintenance execution reports (monthly).
3. Calibration
- List of devices requiring calibration.
- Valid calibration certificates.
- Re-calibration schedule.
4. Human Resources
- Evidence of handling by STR-certified electromedical personnel.
- Evidence of equipment-user training.
5. Incident Handling & Recall
- Procedure for reporting faulty equipment.
- Evidence of follow-up (repair/replacement).
Tip: keep all documents in one easily searchable system. When a surveyor requests evidence, how quickly you find documents strongly affects the assessment.
