Disposal of medical equipment

July 29, 2020

We must remind colleagues that medical equipment must only be disposed of by the medical engineering department.  This is to ensure that the items are disposed of correctly and the inventory is maintained accurately. No medical equipment should be disposed of locally.

Reporting of faulty medical equipment:

Faulty medical equipment needs to be reported to medical engineering online via ext. 4070. It must be separated from working equipment with a decontamination certificate completed. Equipment with expired ‘do not use after’ labels must be reported.
