Survey Information Sheet
Our survey service is unique, in that, it offers information about the bed stock within any hospital that, until now, has been time consuming to obtain. The survey report enables any engineer or works officer to make spares orders or decisions about old bed stock without actually visiting each ward or bed in turn.
Although the survey is not free of charge, it is very reasonably priced and much of the initial cost is recoverable against any later works. It is, perhaps, easier to describe some of the important details here below.
I. Our engineers visit every ward and storage area and, in consultation with the ward staff, examine and test every bed for all the functions originally provided by the manufacturer. This also includes the standard Estmancode checks (M20) & recent MDA (Medical Devices Agency) or Older SAB or SIB notices.
II. Each bed is labelled with a self adhesive aluminium foil label which bears a unique number. The label is coated with permanent adhesive’ and is placed in such a way that it should not be easy to remove by cleaning or normal ward use.
Ill. All the bed numbers and faults are collated into our computer and a list of beds with the number, manufacturer, type and faults produced A detailed report is printed out. As a by product of this, a quote for all works can also be produced. This details the overall likely costs of repairing all beds to good working order.
IV. In addition to the above any ward related problems are also identified, such as pipework or layout and this will assist in your advice to the hospital when purchasing new equipment. It will also give guidance as to why some wards have higher failure rates with equipment than others.
V. In the event of a bed failure on the ward all any of your staff has to do is ask for the serial number from our label, the bed can then be looked up in the survey document and the information required for spares read off. This system has many advantages especially for engineers dealing with outlying hospitals, community equipment or a large range of differing makes & types within the hospital. A. It will reduce time spent by fitters visiting the wards to find out details of reported faults. B. It will reduce incorrect spares orders. C. It will help find the correct bed for repair even if it has moved about within the ward or even within the hospital. This reduces the risk of duplicate failure reports. D. If you wish to use our spares or technical services all you need to do is tell us the bed number and we can advise as to spares and repairs. E. The system is easy to use and remains valid as long as the bed is in use. Future purchases of beds can be added at moderate cost to ensure the continued validity of the system. F. It can be supplied as a Word Document or as a Access Database which can form the basis of a full maintenance database. G. Prices depend on size of hospital and are priced per item.
