Today, your healthcare technology management (HTM) team does so much more than just maintenance – and they need a modern computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) that does, too. 

Phoenix Data Systems is a trusted provider of CMMS software. AIMS (Asset Information Management System), the company’s signature software, is used by tens of thousands of HTM professionals around the world.

Today, there are over a dozen schools using or in the process of implementing Nuvolo to teach students the importance of proper CMMS data entry.

Biomedical service technicians know that expectations for expertise across multiple forms of equipment can easily become overwhelming. Hospital staff expect you to have the answers to the problems they are experiencing. Whether you service general medical equipment, or specialize in some form of imaging modality, hospital staff are calling your department for help. In the case of MRI, round the clock coverage is required. If responses to certain MRI problems are not addressed immediately, it can result in extremely costly or extensive repairs. Imagine being on call and you get an urgent service request from the MRI department. You know that certain MRI failures require immediate attention, but you don’t really know MRI systems very well. What should you do? Who should you call? The first step in managing the situation is to familiarize yourself with some basics before there is an emergency, so let’s talk about it.

ISO certification is a valuable asset for many companies. It is a way to prove to customers that you place a strong emphasis on customer satisfaction. The ISO 13485 certification intended for medical device suppliers also ensures that your quality management system (QMS) conforms to and exceeds regulatory requirements such as the FDA 21 CFR 820.
