When it comes to the medical industry, there is nothing more important than having reliable and accurate medical equipment. That is why we offer comprehensive medical equipment servicing and repair packages here at NES Group Medical. If you should find that some of your equipment is faulty or even if it is just in need of an annual check-up to ensure it's still doing its job correctly, we are here to take over the process for you and allow you to get back to the important job of treating your patients.
The Importance Of Medical Equipment Servicing
To carry out the service, we will visit your place of business and carry out our checks as an independent party on your equipment. Hopefully, we would find nothing wrong and would be able to sign off on them being used for another year. If, however, we do find something wrong, then the procedure of action would be dependent on the severity of the fault. If it is minor, then we may be able to fix it on site with our own equipment, which may involve replacing small parts or something similar. If the fault is more severe, we may recommend completely replacing the equipment altogether or a longer repair procedure, all of which would be discussed in the event of a fault.
What Does Our Medical Equipment Repair Include?
Medical equipment is often the backbone of many medical practices, so the obvious benefit to having working equipment is that your practice would stay open for business and you wouldn’t suffer in reputation or finances. However, there are many more benefits to having working equipment that you may not consider straight away.
Medical Equipment Services Are Important
- Providing the best patient care. Patient care should be the number one priority of any medical practice, in the same way that any other business would value their customers and customer service above all else. With the medical industry being a rapidly changing industry in which new breakthroughs are being made every day, patients are expecting to only be treated with the best equipment on the market so that they know they are getting the best value for money.
- Thinking about competition. Unfortunately, the medical industry, just like any other industry, is a minefield for business competition. The practice next door to you will be trying to bring in the patients that you treat, just as you may be doing the same thing to them. Therefore, having equipment that is always working and is as up to date as possible could help you stand above the rest for your patients. In the same way that a customer wouldn’t return to a supermarket that didn’t have the latest product on their shelves, your customers may not return to you if you are using outdated and faulty equipment to treat them with.
- Being efficient. The medical industry thrives on efficiency, as is the case with any other business. The quicker a patient can be treated, and a new patient can be brought in, the more efficient the business is. Having working equipment is paramount to this, as being delayed by faulty equipment or even having to turn away a patient because a piece of equipment that is needed for their treatment is broken could have a significant negative impact on the business.

Commonly Asked Questions About Medical Equipment Calibration, Service & Repairs
How often should we test and calibrate our equipment?
Medical equipment testing and calibration is a crucial task which is required by Australian Standards to be carried out regularly and in line with an equipment maintenance plan as well as to the manufacturers specified calibration intervals. We recommend testing annually to ensure compliance with AS3551, RACGP and AGPAL requirements.
Routine testing and calibration ensures that your medical devices are performing correctly and delivering peace of mind for patients and providers while maintaining practice accreditations. NES Group Medical qualified technicians are trained and have the required equipment to thoroughly inspect and test all medical equipment/devices in accordance with AS 3551 and specific state/territory legislative requirements in a convenient and cost effective way.
Is it expensive and are there lock in contracts?
Our aim is to make meeting your annual calibration requirements easy and affordable. We have invested heavily in the training of our staff and in the latest and most efficient test equipment to dramatically reduce the labour time required to complete your testing, by doing this we are able to reduce the costs associated to properly maintaining your equipment making it very affordable to stay compliant for even the smallest of practices.

What happens if one or more pieces of equipment fail?
If we find equipment that is out of calibration or requires attention we will either fix it on the spot if the fault is minor, usually at no charge if parts are not required. If parts are required we can provide you with a obligation free quote for repair or replacement depending upon the cost to repair and the age of the piece of equipment. We can supply loan equipment to our testing customers to ensure that there is no disruption to your practice and no issues with compliance as part of our testing and calibration service.
Is this the same as general electrical testing and tagging?
No. Medical equipment testing is a specialised service and has different standards to basic electrical testing and tagging and needs to be function tested with specialised biomedical testing equipment to simulate and calibrate the specific piece of medical equipment. Testing of medical equipment cannot be carried out by general electrical testing and tagging companies or general electricians as this is a specialised service that requires knowledge of medical equipment and its application.
Can NES Group also test regular electrical appliances?
Yes. NES Group can also test and tag regular electrical equipment in accordance with AS 3760 in the same visit to minimise disruption to your practice and managing of multiple testing companies and testing registers at surprisingly affordable rates even though our technicians are specialised, we offer this service at the same rate as most electricians and test and tag companies to make life easier for our customers.
