An Equipment Inventory & Audit Service is the process of physically identifying, tagging, and documenting every piece of medical equipment in your facility to create a definitive, accurate asset register. Hospital Operations Directors, Biomedical Leads, and CIOs need this service to stop capital budget waste, meet regulatory compliance, and transition from chaotic, reactive repairs to planned, preventive maintenance. It solves the critical pain points of "ghost assets" on your books, not knowing what equipment is under warranty or requires calibration, and failing donor-funded audits due to poor asset tracking. This service is essential for multi-site private hospitals, federal medical centres, teaching hospitals, and NGO-supported clinics that manage a complex mix of diagnostic, therapeutic, and life-support equipment. Without a verified inventory, you cannot create an effective maintenance budget, secure financing, or prove to your board that you are managing millions of Naira in assets effectively.
An ad-hoc Equipment Inventory & Audit service costs between NGN 150,000 - NGN 500,000 per site visit, depending on the number of assets. A bundled Preventive Maintenance (PM) contract that includes an initial audit ranges from NGN 500,000 - NGN 2,500,000 annually for a small to mid-sized facility. A full turnkey asset management program, including a CMMS, can cost NGN 3,000,000 and upwards per year. The primary cost drivers are the sheer volume and complexity of your equipment mix—auditing a 50-bed clinic is vastly different from a 500-bed teaching hospital with multiple Siemens Artis Q ceiling C-arms and GE Optima CT scanners. Travel and logistics for sites outside major hubs like Lagos, Abuja, or Port Harcourt significantly impact cost. The level of documentation required, especially for international donor reporting or ISO accreditation, also adds to the price.
Contact Franance for a detailed proposal that aligns with your budget and operational goals.
The cheapest Equipment Inventory & Audit service starts at NGN 75,000 - NGN 150,000 per visit for a basic visual check and asset count in a single location. This price typically excludes functional verification, electrical safety testing, detailed condition reporting, and entry into a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS). You get a simple spreadsheet list, but it often lacks the critical data needed for true asset management, like serial numbers, manufacturing dates, and maintenance status. The biggest risk is inaccuracy; a cheap audit is often a rushed one, leading to missed assets or incorrect data. This can be more costly in the long run when you budget for equipment you don't have or fail a compliance audit. Hidden costs emerge when you need a follow-up visit to correct errors, or when the provider can't produce the documentation needed for a SON or NAFDAC inspection.
A cheap audit that provides faulty data is a liability, not an asset.
An affordable, value-optimized Equipment Inventory & Audit service is typically bundled into a comprehensive maintenance contract, costing between NGN 400,000 - NGN 1,200,000 annually for a mid-sized facility. This approach delivers the best value because the initial audit becomes the foundation for all future maintenance activities, not just a one-off project. The bundle includes the physical audit and tagging, CMMS data population, a scheduled Preventive Maintenance (PM) plan based on the audit findings, and often includes a set number of emergency call-outs. By bundling, you leverage the provider's scheduled travel routes, especially if they have a presence in your region (e.g., a Kano-based hospital benefiting from a provider's northern circuit). This model provides predictable costs and transforms the audit from a capital expense into a manageable operational expense.
Franance bundles the audit with maintenance SLAs to provide a complete, affordable asset management solution.
An Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) that includes an audit and labour-only for repairs typically ranges from NGN 800,000 - NGN 3,000,000 per year. A Comprehensive Maintenance Contract (CMC), which also covers the cost of all spare parts, is more expensive, ranging from NGN 2,500,000 - NGN 10,000,000+ annually, as it transfers the full risk of equipment failure to the service provider. The choice depends on your risk appetite and cash flow. An AMC offers predictable labour costs, but you face unpredictable, often high, costs for spare parts, especially for proprietary components in equipment like a Roche Cobas 6000 analyser. A CMC provides total cost predictability—your annual fee is fixed—which is excellent for budgeting and is often required by financing institutions. It incentivizes the provider to perform high-quality preventive maintenance to minimize expensive part failures.
| Feature | Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) | Comprehensive Maintenance Contract (CMC) |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Labour, PM, Audit | Labour, PM, Audit, All Spare Parts |
| Cost | Lower annual fee | Higher, all-inclusive annual fee |
| Cash Flow | Unpredictable (due to parts) | Highly predictable (fixed cost) |
| Risk | You bear the risk of part failure | Provider bears the risk of part failure |
| Best For | Facilities with strong in-house parts sourcing | Facilities needing fixed budgets, high uptime |
A CMC from a provider like Franance, which includes financing options, can make high-end asset management accessible.

You can find qualified providers in major commercial hubs like Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and Kano, but the key is to select a provider with proven nationwide reach, not just a local office. The selection process must go beyond a simple web search. Start by requesting proposals from providers with experience in facilities of your size and complexity. Your due diligence is critical: verify their Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) registration (RC number). Insist on seeing proof of OEM accreditation or advanced training for the specific equipment you own, like certifications for GE Healthcare's ultrasound systems or Dräger's anaesthesia machines. Ask for references from other hospitals and, most importantly, review a sample audit report and Statement of Work (SOW) to gauge the quality and detail of their documentation. Franance's verification workflow includes sharing sanitized case studies and connecting you with current clients to validate our capabilities.
Choosing a provider is a long-term partnership; vet them thoroughly.
Franance is a verified provider delivering end-to-end equipment lifecycle management across Nigeria, from initial inventory and audit to ongoing maintenance and eventual disposal. Our service stack is built on a foundation of OEM-certified engineers, a robust digital platform for tracking and reporting, and a logistics network designed to handle Nigeria's unique challenges. We cover all major states from our hubs in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and Kano, ensuring we can meet stringent SLA commitments. Whether you are a government hospital preparing for an audit, an NGO deploying new equipment, or a private clinic seeking to optimize costs, our structured approach provides the data and support you need.
The best providers are those who act as strategic partners, not just vendors, by demonstrating deep portfolio experience, a high engineer-to-site ratio, and investment in calibrated instrumentation. Look for a provider who can show you case studies of audits performed on equipment identical to yours—for example, if your ICU relies on B. Braun infusion pumps, they should have extensive experience with them. The best firms don't just count boxes; they use calibrated tools like electrical safety analysers (e.g., Fluke ESA615) and performance verification tools to assess the true condition of each asset. Their reporting goes beyond a simple list, providing insights into capital planning, replacement forecasting, and risk assessment. Franance differentiates itself by providing clients with a live SLA dashboard, offering transparent, real-time tracking of all service activities and asset performance—a level of accountability that sets the standard.
A standard Scope of Work (SOW) includes the physical verification, tagging, and data capture for all medical equipment specified, typically completed in 3-10 business days for a mid-sized facility. The process is phased. It begins with a pre-assessment and planning meeting to align on objectives and logistics. The execution phase involves engineers physically moving through your facility, department by department, to identify each asset. They affix a unique, durable asset tag and capture key data points (make, model, serial number, location, condition). This is followed by functional testing and, if included, calibration/safety checks. The final phases involve data consolidation, documentation (creating the final asset register), and a formal handover meeting where the findings are presented to your team.
The process begins with a kickoff meeting to define the scope, followed by on-site execution where engineers systematically sweep through your facility using floor plans. Our methodology is grounded in international standards like ISO 55000 for asset management. Engineers use handheld devices or tablets with specialized software to capture data directly, minimizing transcription errors. For each asset, they perform a visual inspection, photograph the device and its nameplate, and conduct basic functional checks. For critical equipment, they use calibrated test instruments like patient simulators and electrical safety analysers to verify performance against manufacturer specifications. Pass/fail thresholds are clearly defined, and any equipment that fails is immediately flagged for corrective action. This structured approach ensures that the data collected is not only accurate but also actionable for maintenance and capital planning.
Service Level Agreement (SLA) tiers for ongoing support post-audit are typically structured by equipment criticality, with response times of 2-4 hours for critical life-support equipment (e.g., ventilators, defibrillators), 24 hours for urgent diagnostic equipment (e.g., primary ultrasound), and 48-72 hours for routine items. A robust SLA defines "response time" clearly—is it a phone call, or an engineer on-site? It should also include uptime guarantees (e.g., 98% uptime for a CT scanner), with clear penalty clauses (e.g., service credit) for non-compliance. A key feature of a modern SLA is remote triage; the ability for a provider's technical desk to remotely diagnose and often resolve issues over the phone or video call, saving you time and money. This is especially vital for facilities in remote locations where physical travel is time-consuming.
Request a copy of the Franance SLA framework to see how our tiered, transparent, and dashboard-tracked commitments can guarantee uptime for your critical assets.
You will receive a comprehensive documentation package including a Master Asset Register, a detailed Service Report, and individual certificates for any specialized testing performed. The Master Asset Register is the core deliverable, provided in an editable format like Excel or CSV, containing all captured data for each asset. The Service Report is a summary document that highlights the overall findings, identifies critical issues (e.g., equipment failing safety tests), and provides recommendations. For services like electrical safety testing or performance verification, you will receive specific certificates for each piece of equipment, which serve as proof of compliance for auditors from the Ministry of Health, donor agencies, or international accreditation bodies.
Compliance involves ensuring your equipment inventory and maintenance records meet the requirements of key Nigerian regulatory bodies, a process that can take 2-4 weeks to prepare for an audit. For any radiation-emitting equipment, such as X-ray machines or CT scanners, you must have documentation that satisfies the Nigerian Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NNRA), including performance verification and radiation safety reports. The Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) may require proof of conformity (SONCAP) for imported equipment, and your inventory records must match these certificates. NAFDAC regulates certain classes of medical devices, and your audit documentation must be available for their inspection. A professional audit service will ensure the data and reports they provide are structured to meet these specific local requirements, as well as international standards like IEC 60601 for electrical safety.
A Preventive Maintenance (PM) schedule, derived from the audit, outlines tasks to be performed quarterly, semi-annually, or annually for different equipment classes. The schedule is the roadmap for your technical team or service provider. It involves assigning qualified engineers, ensuring they have the necessary calibrated instruments (multimeters, pressure gauges, etc.), and using a digital system or logbook to record every action. For a Philips IntelliVue monitor, quarterly tasks might include checking ECG cable integrity and cleaning filters, while an annual PM would involve a full functional check and electrical safety test. This proactive approach, based on a complete and accurate inventory, is the most effective way to reduce unexpected downtime.
The emergency response process begins with immediate triage via a dedicated hotline or portal, with a target of engineer-on-site within 2-4 hours for critical equipment in major cities. The first step is remote diagnosis: a senior engineer will contact your clinical staff to understand the fault, guide them through basic troubleshooting, and attempt to resolve the issue remotely. This resolves over 30% of issues without a dispatch. If a site visit is necessary, the triage information ensures the dispatched engineer arrives with the right tools and likely spare parts. For complex issues, there is a clear escalation path to a technical specialist or even the OEM. This structured workflow, tracked via a central system, is designed to minimize downtime for your most critical assets.
Authentic spare parts are available locally for common equipment, but specialized components for high-end systems often have lead times of 2-6 weeks due to international shipping and customs clearance. The cost can be high due to importation duties and logistics. A reliable service provider mitigates this by maintaining a local stock of frequently used parts (e.g., probes for a GE Logiq P9 ultrasound, batteries for defibrillators) in strategic locations like Lagos and Abuja. They will have established relationships with OEMs and international suppliers to ensure authenticity and manage the complex importation process. Always insist on parts that come with a manufacturer's warranty. Without a professional partner, you risk procuring grey-market or counterfeit parts that can damage your equipment and void its warranty.
Training typically involves a 2-4 hour session for your biomedical team on how to use the new asset register/CMMS and a separate 1-2 hour session for clinical staff on basic equipment care and first-line troubleshooting. The handover is a formal meeting where the service provider presents the final audit report, explains the key findings, and hands over all documentation. For your technical team, the training focuses on navigating the asset database, generating reports, and scheduling maintenance. For users, it's about practical skills: how to properly clean equipment, identify error codes, and know when to call for technical support. This knowledge transfer is crucial for ensuring the benefits of the audit are sustained long-term.
A Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) provides a dynamic, real-time dashboard of your entire equipment inventory, tracking KPIs like uptime, Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), and Mean Time To Repair (MTTR). The initial audit service is the foundational step for populating the CMMS. Once populated, every piece of equipment, from a simple suction machine to a complex MRI, has a unique digital record. Every service request, PM task, and repair is logged against that record. This allows you, as an Operations Director or CIO, to move from guesswork to data-driven decisions. You can instantly see which equipment is costing the most to maintain, which assets are due for replacement, and whether your service provider is meeting their SLA commitments.
A power audit is a systematic process of measuring the quality and stability of the electrical supply to your critical medical equipment, with the outcome being a detailed report and a corrective action plan. Given Nigeria's power instability, this is not optional. The process involves using power quality analysers to measure voltage fluctuations, frequency variations, and harmonic distortion at the wall sockets supplying your sensitive devices like CT scanners or lab analysers. The audit report will identify specific risks and provide precise recommendations for sizing Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) and voltage stabilizers. This ensures your multi-million Naira equipment is protected from damaging power surges and sags, a common cause of premature failure.
The relocation process for a major piece of equipment, like a GE Optima CT680, typically takes 5-10 business days and involves a coordinated effort of dismantling, specialized packaging, secure transport, reinstallation, and full commissioning. The service provider manages the entire process. This includes performing baseline performance tests before dismantling to ensure it can be restored to the same level. They use OEM-specified procedures and crating to protect sensitive components during transit. Upon arrival, they manage the reinstallation, connect it to power and network, and then perform a full suite of performance and safety tests (commissioning) to verify it is operating correctly and safely before it is handed over for clinical use.
The deinstallation process involves safely powering down, disconnecting, and removing end-of-life equipment in compliance with Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) regulations, with costs varying based on equipment size and hazardous material content. This is more than just unplugging a machine. For equipment like X-ray machines, it involves handling hazardous materials (e.g., lead, oil) according to environmental laws. For equipment with patient data, it requires certified data sanitisation to protect patient privacy. A professional service provides a full chain-of-custody, from a certificate of deinstallation to a certificate of data destruction and environmentally compliant disposal, protecting your facility from future liability.
Quality Control (QC) is a scheduled process, often performed quarterly or semi-annually, where key performance parameters of diagnostic equipment are tested to ensure they remain accurate and reliable. This is different from routine PM. For a digital X-ray system, QC involves using phantoms and dosimeters to verify image quality, spatial resolution, and radiation dose accuracy. For a lab analyser, it involves running control samples to check for precision and bias. The results are trended over time to detect gradual performance degradation before it affects clinical outcomes. This documented QC process is a mandatory requirement for many accreditation standards.
Electrical safety testing is an annual requirement for most patient-care equipment, where a calibrated analyser is used to test for earth continuity, insulation resistance, and leakage currents. The process involves a qualified engineer using a specialized device (e.g., a Fluke safety analyser) to run a series of tests compliant with the IEC 60601 standard. Each piece of equipment that passes is affixed with a "Tested for Electrical Safety" tag showing the test date and the next due date. A detailed report is generated for your records, which is a critical document during any facility audit or accreditation survey. This testing is fundamental to protecting both patients and staff from electrical shock hazards.
The key metrics (KPIs) you should track are equipment uptime percentage, Mean Time To Repair (MTTR), Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), and First Visit Fix Rate, with reports delivered monthly via a digital dashboard. Uptime % is the most critical KPI for your C-suite, showing the availability of revenue-generating assets. MTTR shows how quickly your service provider resolves issues, while MTBF indicates the overall reliability of your equipment. A high First Visit Fix Rate shows the provider's engineers are well-trained and carry the right parts. The best providers, like Franance, give you a secure online portal where you can view these KPIs in real-time, filter by department or equipment type, and download reports on demand for your internal meetings or board presentations.
Standard payment terms are typically a 50% advance payment upon contract signing and 50% upon submission of the final audit report. For larger, multi-year maintenance contracts, payment is often made quarterly or semi-annually in advance. Some providers may require a performance bond from their side to guarantee service delivery, especially for large government or donor-funded projects. For facilities looking to manage cash flow, providers like Franance offer flexible financing options that can convert the entire cost of an audit and multi-year maintenance contract into a predictable monthly or quarterly operational expense, removing the need for a large upfront capital outlay.
Service is available nationwide, with the most responsive support concentrated in and around Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and Kano. The key to effective service, especially for facilities outside these hubs, is choosing a provider with a distributed network of engineers and a smart logistics plan. Franance operates with regional hubs in these four key cities, allowing us to provide rapid on-site support to the majority of the country. For more remote locations, we utilize a "scheduled route" model, where our engineers visit specific regions on a regular, planned basis to perform PM and address non-urgent repairs, making professional service both available and affordable, supplemented by a robust remote technical support desk for immediate assistance.

Honest answers about scope, pricing, delivery and support so you can plan with confidence.
A basic inventory service in Nigeria starts from ₦500,000 for up to 100 assets, covering tagging and listing. A comprehensive audit for a facility with a GE Optima CT680 and 200+ assets can range from ₦3,000,000 to ₦7,000,000, including functional testing and compliance checks. The final cost depends on asset quantity, complexity, and the depth of technical assessment required.
An audit for a 25-bed clinic in Lagos typically takes 5-7 working days. For a larger, multi-departmental hospital with over 250 assets, including complex systems like a Siemens Artis Q cath lab, the process from kickoff to final report delivery is usually 3-4 weeks. This timeline includes physical verification, functional testing, and data consolidation.
A standard SOW includes physical asset tagging, serial number verification, and condition assessment for all equipment. It details functional testing procedures for devices like Philips IntelliVue MP70 monitors and calibration checks for anaesthesia machines. The SOW also specifies deliverables, such as a digital asset register, a condition report, and a compliance summary against NNRA or SON standards.
We deploy dedicated teams simultaneously to all locations to ensure a consistent and swift process. For a clinic group with branches in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt, we use a centralized project manager and a cloud-based asset management platform for real-time data synchronisation. This ensures the final report provides a unified view of all assets, like the status of all Dräger Fabius anaesthesia machines across the entire network.
You receive a comprehensive digital asset register in Excel or CSV format, a detailed condition report with photos for each major asset, and a summary of findings and recommendations. For radiological equipment like a GE Optima CT540, we provide specific documentation verifying its compliance with NNRA guidelines. All calibration certificates for tested equipment are also included.
Outsourcing is more efficient for achieving an unbiased, comprehensive baseline. An external team brings specialized testing tools and experience with diverse models like the Siemens Magnetom Avanto MRI, which an in-house team may lack. While in-house teams can perform routine checks, a third-party audit provides the objective data needed for strategic planning, accreditation, and financial reporting.
Our audit verifies that your radiological equipment, such as a Siemens Multix Impact X-ray, meets all Nigerian Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NNRA) requirements. We check for proper registration, review historical quality assurance (QA) test records, and assess shielding integrity. The final report explicitly states the compliance status and outlines any corrective actions needed to meet NNRA standards for licensing.
An inventory is a physical count and listing of assets, like identifying all Mindray BeneHeart D3 defibrillators and their locations. A full technical audit goes deeper, including functional testing, performance verification against OEM specifications, electrical safety tests, and a detailed assessment of each asset's operational condition. The audit provides actionable data on repair needs and end-of-life status.
Yes, we can provide the final asset register in a format compatible with most major HMS platforms used in Nigeria. We typically export data in CSV or XML formats with clearly defined fields for seamless import. This allows you to link asset data, such as the maintenance schedule for a Philips IntelliVue MP90, directly into your HMS for streamlined work order management.
Our standard payment terms are a 50% advance payment upon signing the contract and 50% upon submission of the final audit report. For larger, multi-month projects involving extensive facilities, we can structure milestone-based payments. We also offer flexible equipment financing solutions through Franance for facilities that need to acquire new assets identified during the audit.
We use a multi-point inspection process for specialized assets like a GE Signa Explorer MRI. This includes reviewing operator logs, running OEM-specified diagnostic tests, checking cryogen levels, and performing image quality phantom tests. We do not perform invasive repairs but provide a detailed report on performance, error codes, and recommendations for OEM or specialized third-party service.
If a critical device like a ventilator or defibrillator is found to be non-functional, we immediately notify your designated biomedical engineer or clinical head. Our team will document the fault in detail and, if included in the SOW, perform basic troubleshooting. The issue is flagged with high priority in our preliminary report, enabling you to initiate repair or replacement protocols without delay.
Yes, our comprehensive audit service includes performance verification and calibration for a wide range of devices. We use certified test equipment to calibrate devices like infusion pumps, patient monitors such as the Philips IntelliVue series, and anaesthesia machines. All calibration activities are documented, and a certificate is issued for each device, traceable to national standards.
We use a double-verification process to ensure accuracy. First, a field engineer physically inspects, photographs, and tags each asset, capturing data on a mobile app. This data is then reviewed and cross-referenced against your existing asset list by a separate data quality manager. This process minimizes errors and ensures the final register for assets, from suction machines to a Siemens Somatom CT scanner, is precise.
Our audit teams are led by certified biomedical engineers with extensive field experience on equipment from major OEMs like GE, Siemens, Philips, and Dräger. Each team member is trained in medical equipment safety standards (IEC 60601) and uses calibrated testing devices. Their expertise ensures that a GE Optima CT680 is assessed with the same rigour as a simple patient monitor.
Absolutely. The audit report provides a clear capital replacement plan by identifying equipment that is near end-of-life, obsolete, or expensive to maintain. For example, if your facility's anaesthesia machines are over 10 years old and failing frequently, the report will recommend a replacement budget. This data-driven approach strengthens your case for new acquisitions and can be used in financing applications with partners like Franance.
We operate under a strict non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and our engineers are trained in patient data privacy. During an audit of imaging equipment like a GE Logiq E9 ultrasound, our team does not access, copy, or store any Patient Health Information (PHI). Our functional tests are performed using phantoms or built-in diagnostic tools, ensuring patient data confidentiality is fully maintained.
For contracted partners in Abuja, our Service Level Agreement (SLA) guarantees a 4-6 hour response time for critical equipment failures, such as a down anaesthesia machine or patient monitor. For non-critical issues, we ensure an engineer is on-site within 24 hours. This rapid response minimizes clinical downtime and is a key benefit of our Comprehensive Maintenance Contracts (CMC).
An audit is crucial for accreditation as it provides documented proof of a functioning equipment management program. It generates an up-to-date asset register, maintenance records, and compliance certificates for SON or NNRA, which are required by accrediting bodies. Having a detailed report on the status of your Philips IntelliVue monitors or GE C-arm demonstrates proactive management of clinical technology.
Yes, durable, serialized asset tags are a standard component of our inventory and audit service. We use high-quality barcode or QR code labels designed to withstand hospital cleaning agents. Each tag is linked to the asset's profile in the digital register, enabling easy tracking and management of everything from infusion pumps to your main Siemens Artis Zee angiography system.
An AMC typically covers only preventive maintenance and labour costs for repairs; spare parts are billed separately. A CMC is all-inclusive, covering preventive maintenance, labour, and the cost of all spare parts needed for repairs. For high-value equipment like a GE Optima CT scanner, a CMC provides predictable annual costs and eliminates unexpected, large bills for parts like an X-ray tube.
Yes, we can conduct a thorough audit of your biomedical spare parts inventory. We will identify, catalogue, and assess the condition of your existing stock. The final report will highlight critical gaps, identify obsolete parts, and recommend optimal stock levels for key equipment like your Dräger ventilators, helping you reduce holding costs while ensuring parts availability.
We use a data-driven approach based on the 'repair vs. replace' ratio. If the estimated cost of repairing a device, like an older model patient monitor, exceeds 60% of the cost of a new, comparable unit, we typically recommend replacement. We also consider the availability of spare parts and the equipment's age relative to its expected service life to provide a clear, financially sound recommendation.
Our teams use a mobile-first, cloud-based asset management application. This allows them to scan barcodes, take photos, and input data directly on-site, eliminating paperwork and reducing errors. The data syncs in real-time to a central dashboard, allowing for immediate quality checks and providing you with progress updates throughout the audit of your facility's assets.
Yes, our service extends to a full range of medical laboratory equipment. We audit and perform functional verification on devices such as Roche Cobas analysers, Sysmex haematology machines, and standard centrifuges. We check for performance against manufacturer specifications and provide documentation to support laboratory accreditation requirements like ISO 15189.
Preparation is simple. You need to provide a designated point of contact from your biomedical or operations team. Ensure access to all areas where medical equipment is located. If available, provide any existing asset lists or maintenance records. This helps expedite the process, especially for verifying the history of complex assets like a Philips Ingenia MRI.
While our primary service is the technical audit, we can arrange for basic user and safety training as an add-on service. This is particularly useful for ensuring staff correctly operate devices like defibrillators or infusion pumps. For complex systems like a new Siemens Healthineers C-arm, we recommend dedicated application training from the OEM, which we can help coordinate.
We have a nationwide service network with engineering teams based in major hubs like Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and Kano. This allows us to efficiently serve hospitals and clinics across all geopolitical zones. Our distributed model ensures we can provide consistent service and rapid response times whether your facility is a large teaching hospital or a remote primary care clinic.
The audit proactively identifies potential failures before they occur. By flagging worn components on a GE OEC C-arm or detecting performance degradation in a patient monitor, we enable you to schedule preventive repairs. This shifts your maintenance from a reactive, emergency-based model to a proactive, planned approach, significantly reducing unexpected equipment downtime and associated revenue loss.
Upon delivering the final report, we schedule a review meeting to discuss the findings and recommendations with your management team. We can then help you implement the recommendations, such as developing a preventive maintenance schedule, sourcing spare parts, or creating a capital replacement plan. For equipment acquisition needs identified, we can connect you with financing options through partners like Franance.
