Frequent asked questions.
Q: Why do I need preventive maintenance (PM) for my sterilizer and steam generator?
A: Sterilizers and steam generators are complex machines composed of multiple moving parts, many of which operate under extreme conditions—often at temperatures exceeding 280°F. These components have varying life spans, with many requiring replacement or servicing within a year, depending on usage.
To ensure optimal performance and reduce unplanned downtime, manufacturers have developed detailed preventive maintenance guidelines based on the behavior and wear patterns of these components. These guidelines, including care instructions and recommended maintenance intervals, are outlined in the operator and service manuals for each specific model.
Q: How often do I need to perform preventive maintenance on my sterilizer and steam generator?
A: Sterilizers and steam generators require a consistent and effective preventive maintenance program to ensure reliable performance and safety. We recommend following the manufacturer’s specific maintenance guidelines, as each model may have unique requirements for inspection, servicing, and component replacement.
Q: Do I need preventive maintenance records to show inspectors during a JCAHO survey or any other accreditation review?
A: Based on our experience, most facilities seeking accreditation from organizations like The Joint Commission (JCAHO) are required to provide documentation of preventive maintenance for critical equipment. This is typically done by presenting service reports during inspections.
Maintaining a regular service schedule not only helps you stay compliant with accreditation requirements, but it also extends the lifespan of your equipment and reduces unexpected downtime caused by component failures.
Preventive maintenance should always follow the manufacturer's recommended guidelines and schedules.
Q: I understand that I need to perform preventive maintenance on my sterilizer, but can you give me an idea of how often it should be done?
A: Absolutely. Preventive maintenance frequency can vary depending on the manufacturer, but many recommend inspecting key components every three months due to wear and exposure to high heat. Some major parts may even require rebuilding or replacement annually. For optimal performance and safety, quarterly preventive maintenance is generally recommended.
