BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING SERVICES AVAILABLE THROUGH FBE INDIA
Biomedical Technology enters hospitals sites via various means including development, purchase/procurement, lease, loan and
donation. In order to appropriately support the biomedical technology being used
FBE India can provide a leadership role in the acquisition process.
In cooperation with clinicians, end-users and business managers, FBE India can facilitate decision of replacement and new
biomedical technology.
FBE’s own Biomedical Asset Management Software keeps records of all biomedical technology on an electronic database to assist
in the proper management at all stages during its life. All biomedical technology
entering an organisation, whether by development, purchase, lease, rent, loan
or donation, must enter via Biomedical Engineering Department so that it can
be appropriately tested and registered on the BME asset database, with a BME
asset label attached to the each device.
All biomedical technology entering, or owned by, a healthcare facility and being used on its clients requires pre-operational
functional testing to appropriate standards, such that the Biomedical Engineering
Department is satisfied that the equipment performs as specified by the manufacturer.
FBE India can provide or obtain relevant interpretations of biomedical technology standards and legislation and where possible
assure uniformity in the application of these interpretations across the healthcare
facility.
FBE India can assist technology managers in the obligation to implement risk management plans, including safe operating procedures,
associated with biomedical technology.
FBE India can provide the required user and technical training for the safe and appropriate use of the technology.
On acquisition of biomedical technology an appropriate maintenance strategy will be devised. Scheduled maintenance intervals
determined during this process will take into account a combination of; recommendations
by the manufacturer, NABH standards, risk management strategies, equipment usage
and requirements of the user department. FBE India will use an appropriate recording
system to identify the due date of scheduled maintenance and where appropriate
a label will be affixed to the technology by FBE India stating when the next
scheduled maintenance is due.
FBE India can lead the investigation and reporting of biomedical technology related incidents and determine appropriate risk
management strategies.
On a risk management basis FBE India undertakes to appropriately follow up relevant hazard and recall alerts as notified
by technology suppliers and other national and international biomedical technology
organisations for technology registered on FBE India Biomedical technology asset
databases.
FBE India is responsible for appropriately maximising the uptime of biomedical technology. The repair of biomedical technology
is a core function of FBE India; repairs will be prioritised based on available
resources and an appropriate risk management strategy.
FBE India performs inspections and maintenance, based on schedules which minimise the risks related to safety, effectiveness,
availability and compliance of biomedical technology.
FBE India provides biomedical technology calibration and testing services to relevant standards including, where agreed,
those of NABH.
FBE India may be contracted to keep a range of loan and spare equipment that may be used for the urgent, short-term replacement
of biomedical technology, when unavailable due to maintenance or repair.
FBE India may be contracted to provide a 24 hour a day 7 day a week service for urgent disruptions to service delivery in
health units involving biomedical technology.
Where a healthcare facility has decided to engage an external provider to support a piece of biomedical technology, FBE India
may be contracted to manage the services of the external provider, to appropriate
standards.
FBE India maybe contracted to maintain a store of selected consumables, spare parts and accessories required to minimise
the down-time of biomedical technology.
