Our bespoke training programs – carried out in-house or virtually – keep biomedical engineers and clinicians up-to-date with the latest biomedical technological innovations, helping improve the safety and efficiency of medical equipment and deliver better patient care. Dedicated training teams deliver theoretical and practical courses with a focus on:

• Health and safety
• Anaesthesia
• Operating theatre & surgical equipment
• Physiological monitoring
• Therapeutic devices
• Critical care equipment
• and many other areas, using real technologies.

Technical, administrative and performance-related procedures carried out to comply with your relevant local regulations.
Measuring initial values and parameters for electrical safety, and subsequent monitoring of the equipment. Acceptance testing is the only suitable way to guarantee the safe introduction of a new device in any health or social care facility.

Our on-call team is available in the event of malfunction of biomedical technologies, rapidly restoring function of the device and helping you achieve maximum service uptime.
Althea's relationships with the major biomedical equipment manufacturers let us deliver a comprehensive service, including training and optimised provision of spare parts.

To ensure your biomedical technology is fit-for-purpose, and your clinical staff are only working with valid, safe, useful, and cost-effective equipment, we apply standardised procedures to evaluate and adjust the expected life cycle of your medical device as appropriate, based on:

• Manufacturer’s recommendations
• Current treatment standards
• Cost of continued ownership
• The usage, maintenance and repair record, and o safety, quality and functionality of the device.

This activity is closely related to investment planning, so our engineers team aligns with medical staff and hospital financial management to reach an informed decision on strategic and operational issues.

Checks and calibration carried out, following specific benchmark operating protocols compliant with manufacturers’ instructions and local and international standards.
The operations are scheduled in groups of the same type of equipment, based on their location and availability.

Checking that equipment safety requirements are maintained over time, particularly in relation to device connectivity to the electricity supply. Safety checks as part of the scheduled maintenance.
Includes practical tests to check the quality of the service provided, with subsequent adjustments and calibration.
