Medical equipment service is the maintenance and repair of medical devices such as wheelchairs, crutches, hospital beds, oxygen tanks and other medical equipment owned by hospitals, clinics and nursing homes in order to ensure that these are always in a proper working condition and can be used without any interruption when needed by patients or clients who use them for their treatment or care. This is usually carried out by specialized technicians who have undergone special training in this field and have been certified to do this work according to specific standards set by government agencies concerned with ensuring quality control in the provision of health services. They are also required to keep records of all the repairs they make on a regular basis so that there can be no question of tampering with the actual condition of the equipment at any time in future when it is used again for patient care purposes.
