Outcomes Framework (QOF) points can be claimed by having a medical
equipment/devices tested and calibrated.
- For devices where readings are used for diagnosis and
recording, it is paramount that these readings lie within
the parameters set by manufacturers.
- A structured annual planned maintenance service for testing and
calibrating helps reduce unexpected corrective maintenance costs,
reducing valuable downtime and inconvenience.
- Medical drugs and vaccines require medical refrigerators with
prescribed ambient temperatures that in reality do waiver.
