Regular maintenance and repair are crucial to maximizing the lifespan of your equipment and keeping your practice running smoothly.  Inoperative instrumentation often means rescheduling patients and revenue loss for an eyecare practice so we’re here with a few tips to help.

 

What You Can Do

Your equipment is a significant investment and having a maintenance plan is important to keeping it running effectively.

  • Disinfecting – Be sure to disinfect your instrumentation after each use to removing harmful bacteria.
  • Understand maintenance requirements – Every device has different maintenance schedules and requirements.  From wiping front lenses or checking fan filters regularly to extensive phoropter cleanings, it is important to learn the manufacturer’s recommendations for each piece of equipment.
  • Create a regular maintenance schedule for equipment – Planning ahead and scheduling regular maintenance is imperative to keeping your equipment running smoothly.
  • Get organized – Many practices keep binders documenting repairs, maintenance schedules, and warranties as well as equipment manuals and contact information for your service provider.  Having all this vital information in one place facilitates an effective service plan for your equipment.
  • Train your team – Take the time to make sure that your staff is well trained on operating, maintaining, and handling each device. Proper equipment usage will significantly reduce the risk of damage.
