Eastern Maine Medical Center - Clinical Engineering

Eastern Maine Medical Center's Clinical Engineering department establishes criteria to assess the risk level of medical equipment. Equipment is classified as high, medium, or low risk based on factors such as its criticality, maintenance needs, failure history, risk to patients, and financial impact. High risk equipment is life-supporting or mission critical and inspected yearly. Medium risk equipment is monitored or diagnostic and inspected every two years. Low risk equipment is general care or therapeutic and inspected every three years. A no scheduled maintenance category also exists.
