Biomedical technicians (BMETs) carry out a range of critical rolesfor healthcare organizations including installation, inspection, and repair ofmedical equipment, as well as calibration of these devices.
Technicians typically charge a travel fee and hourly labor rate for their services. Some technicians will charge a per device fee for inspection and planned maintenance events. The cost is highly depending on the expertise required for the device and the area in which the healthcare facility is located. It’s best to connect with the technicians to get a quote.
It’s best to review the manufacturer’s guidelines for services when determining if your device requires a planned maintenance event and what frequency they should occur. You should also consult your accreditation or certification body to see if they have more stringent requirements. Most devices that are electrical in nature require a yearly inspection, calibration, or performance verification. Be sure to find someone that is certified to complete the services you are requesting.
