A vital component of the success of any laboratory is the technicians who are maintaining, on a daily basis, the processes and the equipment of the laboratory. These men and women use the washers, sterilizers, fume hoods, and other equipment to power the innovative development and research of modern medicine. Amongst their responsibilities is the daily use of the laboratory equipment. They are the first ones who will be able to notice some of the subtle indicators of upcoming maintenance needs. To help spot the early signs of a future maintenance need, the Beta Star Service and Control teams created a question and answer guide to noticing the symptoms.
Why is this guide important?
- Reduce the number of downtime maintenance occurrences
- Minimize costs with on-time preventative maintenance as opposed to emergency overtime service visits
- Empower laboratory technicians to assist the on-site and hired maintenance and service teams
