Why is regular equipment servicing important for optimal performance and cost savings?
Regular servicing of your practice equipment is essential in ensuring smooth operations, accurate results, and most importantly, patient safety. In this blog post, we highlight the key benefits of equipment servicing; from detecting potential problems to extending the lifespan of your assets, whilst also providing convenient options to minimise downtime.
Practice Benefit  |
Ensures Effective Performance and Accuracy Regular servicing plays a vital role in preventing equipment malfunctions and ensuring it functions accurately. During servicing, each piece of equipment undergoes thorough checks mandated by the manufacturer, specific to the type and functionality of the equipment. These checks not only promote accurate results but also safeguard the user's safety. |
Practice Benefit  |
Lowers the Risk of Breakdowns and Downtime Detection and replacement of worn parts during servicing significantly reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns and unplanned equipment downtime. By addressing potential issues early on, you can proactively prevent equipment failures and minimise disruptions in your practice, ensuring continuous patient care. |
Practice Benefit  |
Extends Equipment Lifespan and Saves your Practice Money Well-maintained equipment not only offers better performance but also has a longer usable life. Regular servicing can extend the lifespan of your assets, allowing you to get the most value out of your investment. Serviced equipment that lasts 5-7 years offers significant cost savings when compared to equipment that lasts 3-5 years without servicing. |
Practice Benefit  |
Helps to Ensure Warranty Protection
Regular servicing is crucial for maintaining the validity of warranties for veterinary equipment. Many warranties, especially extended ones, often require servicing as a condition for the warranty to remain valid. Therefore, it is important to prioritise regular equipment repairs and servicing to ensure warranty protection. |
