Calibration and testing of clinical and hospital equipment

Labmetro Saúde – Eletromedicina operates in clinics and hospitals, where it collaborates with the clinical units in improving the quality of the services provided, through the calibration of the equipment used.

The process of metrological confirmation, calibration or testing allows us to verify the suitability of medical equipment for use, according to the parameters defined by manufacturers and established acceptance criteria. In this way, it is possible to detect any anomalies in the equipment’s operation that may bias the diagnostic results, or even place the user technicians or patients at risk.

We provide a full hospital calibration and testing service, evaluating functional performance and electrical safety parameters, according to IEC reference standards.

We work in close partnership with our customers from the management of their calibration plans to the analysis of the certificates obtained, promoting integral service solutions.
