Biomedical equipment management software. Uptime you can evidence.

Every hospital knows roughly what it spent on medical equipment. Very few can say what any single machine has cost since it arrived, how much of the last year it spent out of service, or whether the maintenance contract renewed last month was worth its price.

The information exists — in service reports in a file, warranty documents in a drawer, and the biomedical engineer’s memory. Kōami Field Service turns it into a record, which is also what an accreditation assessor is asking for.

What is biomedical equipment management software?

Biomedical equipment management software, often called a hospital CMMS, maintains an asset register of medical equipment, schedules and evidences preventive maintenance, manages breakdown work orders and technician dispatch, tracks calibration and AMC or CMC coverage, and reports downtime and vendor SLA performance. For an accredited hospital it is how the equipment management programme is demonstrated rather than described.

What the system has to do

Asset register with real depth

Make, model, serial, location, department, purchase value, warranty expiry, contract status and criticality — plus location and custody as equipment moves, which it does constantly.

Preventive maintenance

PM schedules by asset class or manufacturer interval, with checklists per equipment type, automatic work order generation and escalation when a schedule slips.

Calibration and compliance records

Due dates, certificates held against the asset, and traceability — the records an assessor asks for on a named machine.

Work orders and dispatch

Faults logged from the ward with a photograph, routed by skill to the right technician or vendor, tracked to closure with parts and labour recorded.

SLA timers and escalation

Response and resolution measured against contracted commitments, with breach alerts and an escalation matrix, so contract renewal is a conversation with evidence behind it.

Offline-capable mobile app

Job details and history, photo and signature capture, parts consumption and offline sync, because basements and radiology suites do not have signal.

What to test in a CMMS demo

Use your own asset list, including the awkward items. The final request below is the accreditation question.

  • Import your asset register and list everything out of warranty and not under contract.
  • Generate this month’s PM schedule and show the checklist for an anaesthesia workstation.
  • Log a breakdown from a ward, on a phone, with a photograph.
  • Assign it to an external vendor and show the SLA clock running.
  • Close it, record the spare used, and show the cost added to that asset’s history.
  • Show total downtime for the CT this year.
  • Show each vendor’s average response time against its contracted commitment.
  • Produce the last four PM records and the current calibration certificate for a named ventilator.
