Maintenance & Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM)
Maintenance Services
The maintenance service carried out by Audere Medical Services Limited is primarily a safety and preventative examination designed to maintain the reliability of autoclaves, sterilizers, washer disinfectors and other decontamination equipment including endoscope reprocessors.
Equipment breakdowns are frustrating and disruptive to any organisation. Our experience has shown that regular servicing significantly reduces the frequency of breakdowns and can be of benefit in detecting problems before they become major, expensive repairs.
All maintenance work is as per manufacturer's instructions, all replacement parts used are manufacturer guaranteed and all recognised UK and European industry protocols are followed to ensure the equipment is compliant to the exacting standards set.
All our clients benefit from our ISO 9001 accreditation which ensures full traceability of all works and administration duties.
The goal of the comprehensive preventive maintenance program is to reduce lost revenue due to machine failures by:
- evaluating all equipment
- designing a scheduled maintenance program
- maintaining a current database to track scheduled maintenance and identify potential problems
- working within scheduling guidelines of client for the most convenient maintenance times
Typically our routine maintenance service will include:
- electrical safety check and inspection of the equipment
- a service of the major mechanical components including valves, filters, pumps, seals
- calibration check of the equipment including gauges, displays, process recording equipment
Within a week of the visit of our engineers, our clients receive a report detailing the performance of the machines tested. The format of the report can be customised to the clients' specific requirements.
The maintenance service is flexible and can be structured to suit a client's specific requirements. The programme can range from ad hoc repair visits, planned maintenance as required by to HTM 2010 and HTM 2030 to fully inclusive programmes as included in our popular Service Contract Schemes.
