Medical Device Management

The main role of the Clinical Engineering in Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust is to provide a  Management service to the Trust.

Medical Device management includes a wide range of activities:

• Advice and assistance with equipment evaluation prior to purchase
• Help with deciding on the model that most fits the user departments needs
• Preparation ready for the implementation of the device which includes commissioning the equipment and training the staff how to use it
• Technical and clinical support of the equipment and staff during its life time
• Planned end of life replacement
• Correct disposal of the old equipment

Along side this goes the record keeping. An asset register of all equipment is maintained as well as a log of all service work performed.
