Medical Equipment Servicing and Compliance for Hospitals and Aged Care Homes

At ActivTec we pride ourselves on providing market-leading maintenance of medical equipment in hospitals and aged care homes, amongst other healthcare facilities. This is how we ensure your medical and mobility equipment remains compliant to ensure optimal year-round performance and most importantly to maintain the safety of residents, patients, visitors and staff. Using the extensive product knowledge of our technicians as well as an array of industry-leading resources and tools, we can tailor comprehensive medical equipment maintenance plans to prevent costly repairs and equipment downtime, allowing your healthcare facility to function at its best all year round.

Here are the reasons why it is so important to stay on top of the maintenance of your medical equipment.

• Workplace Safety

As mentioned above safety is the #1 priority when it comes to hospitals and aged care. Hospital patients and nursing home residents are some of our most vulnerable people so everything must be done to ensure their safety and comfort, as well as the safety of any visitors and of course to all staff working on site.

• Equipment compliance and legal obligation

It is part of your duty of care as a healthcare provider to ensure that all of your medical and mobility equipment is properly maintained and remains compliant under the relevant safety standards and applicable governing laws. No staff member wants to be responsible for causing an accident due to faulty medical equipment and no health site wants to be held liable for any injuries caused.

• Efficiency

Making sure that preventative maintenance jobs are booked in and carried out for the relevant medical equipment means less equipment downtime and no more staff having to wander around a hospital ward or nursing home wing looking for a working bed, hoist or wheelchair. With ActivTec we will make sure you have the equipment ready and working when you need it.

At ActivTec we don’t just provider best-in-class maintenance and repairs, we also have more than 20,000 spare parts on offer through our online MediParts store.

One of our most popular items are actuators, used to move medical beds and patient hoists up and down. We sell actuators (as well as patients hoist parts, wheelchair parts etc.) from a range of manufacturers including Guldmann, TiMOTION, Invacare, Linak, Hillrom and many others.

We actually made a video about why you should change the actuator on your mobile floor and ceiling hoists.

We also made another video explaining the 5 reasons why ceiling hoists breakdown and how to prevent it from happening.

With so many types of equipment on a typical healthcare site it is often easier to have one dedicated medical equipment maintenance provider overseeing all of it, and that’s where we come in. This video explains how your site can save time, money and effort by consolidating all of your medical equipment maintenance with a single provider.

What sets ActivTec apart from so many other medical equipment maintenance providers is that we are “brand neutral” meaning we do not sell our own brand of medical equipment. This means that we will never push our brand over a competitor’s and we can service any make or model of equipment you have on site. We will never try and lock you in to buying one brand or using just one provider, we offer ultimate flexibility. We also will not push you to buy new expensive replacement models for equipment, not if we can simply fix it for you and get you back up and running.

Here’s a quick glance at ActivTec in numbers:

• 100+ staff
• 50+ trained Technicians
• 8 locations nationwide
• 1000s of customers
• $8.5 million of spare parts in stock (more than 20k parts available for patients hoists, wheelchairs, medical beds etc.)
