Key Considerations for Choosing a Medical Equipment Service Provider
When it comes to medical equipment, reliability and safety are paramount.
Selecting the right medical equipment service provider in New Zealand is crucial for the seamless operation of your healthcare facility.
In this blog post, we will discuss the key considerations for choosing a medical equipment service provider and highlight why Able Tech Services is ideal for all your medical equipment needs.

Does Your Medical Equipment Service Provider Offer Emergency Repairs?
Annual Maintenance for Medical Equipment
Regular servicing and maintenance are essential for the longevity of your equipment. All medical equipment must be serviced and performance tested to AS/NZS 3551:2012 standards to comply with OSH and insurance checks. Annual maintenance is essentially preventative servicing used to ensure that your medical equipment operates at its best and reduces the risk of equipment failure. Be sure that your provider can commit to annual maintenance.
Able Tech’s comprehensive medical equipment servicing program is designed to identify potential issues and fix them before they cause significant problems.
Electrical Testing & Tagging for Medical Equipment
Along with annual maintenance, electrical safety testing is crucial to meeting OSH regulations and audits. Ensure that your service provider can undertake this critical task of electrical testing & tagging for medical equipment.
Able Tech has technicians who are EAS-certified to ensure compliance with New Zealand standards. We also keep records of appliances tested and compliance certificates to comply with AS/NZS 3551:2012 Standard.
Spare Part Supply for Medical Equipment NZ
Does your provider supply spare parts for your equipment? If not, this can lead to extended periods of downtime and delays. In addition to our comprehensive services, Able Tech offers an extensive selection of special replacement parts for various medical equipment. With a reliable supply chain from trusted local and international suppliers, Able Tech ensures prompt availability and delivers top-quality spare parts to support the seamless operation and maintenance of your medical equipment.
Establish What Types of Medical Equipment the Provider Services
It's essential to determine the scope of services your provider can handle and the types of medical equipment they service to avoid the hassle of multiple service providers.
A one-point-of-contact service provider is much more cost-efficient and productive than engaging multiple independent contractors.
Able Tech Services maintains and repairs various medical equipment, including hospital beds, mobile patient lifters, ceiling patient lifters, bathroom equipment, mattresses, manual wheelchairs, and specialist medical devices, such as suction devices, oxygen concentrators, and ECG monitors.
Ask Your Provider About Staff Training for Medical Equipment
Up-skilling and educating your staff can be a proactive way to identify issues before they result in downtime. Medical Equipment Service providers who also offer training are few and far between.
Able Tech offers equipment training to maintenance staff and medical teams, instilling greater confidence in your daily operations. By training your staff to recognise and address potential problems, you can reduce the frequency and severity of equipment failures, ensuring smoother patient care and operations.
Choose a Medical Equipment Provider Who Plans Ahead
The last thing you need is a provider who doesn’t communicate or plan.
Collaborating closely with our clients, Able Tech actively strategises their medical equipment servicing and maintenance schedules. We aim to minimise any potential disruptions to their operations by providing tailored plans that optimise equipment performance and reduce downtime. Proactive planning ensures a seamless and efficient workflow that aligns with our clients' specific needs and goals.
