Medical Equipment Maintenance: User Maintenance Checklist X-Ray Machines

As most equipment problems are either simple or user-related it is the aim that the better care and regular maintenance enabled by this manual will have a significant positive effect on the delivery of healthcare.

The maintenance tasks are placed in daily and weekly checklists. This will help in planning time for them to be carried out. In most cases, for daily tasks the beginning of the working day will be best, but any time will suit as long as the job is done. For weekly tasks, it may be easier to allocate a different day for each type of equipment, to spread the load through the week. A simple timetable with the person responsible can be used as a reminder. X-Ray machines are used for imaging bones and hard tissues and diagnosing fractures, joint defects, choked lungs, and more. Sometimes contrast agents are also used to highlight any defects in the abdomen under X-rays.
