I have extensive experience in managing medical equipment maintenance and calibration schedules. In my previous role, I implemented a comprehensive tracking system that ensured all equipment was calibrated and serviced according to manufacturer guidelines and regulatory requirements. This system reduced equipment downtime by 20% and improved overall operational efficiency.

Ensuring compliance with regulatory standards is a top priority. I regularly review and update our policies and procedures to align with the latest regulations. Additionally, I conduct regular audits and provide training to staff to ensure they understand and adhere to these standards. This proactive approach has helped us maintain a perfect compliance record.

In one instance, a critical piece of imaging equipment malfunctioned during an emergency procedure. I quickly diagnosed the issue, which was a software glitch, and worked with the vendor to remotely resolve it within 30 minutes. This minimized patient risk and ensured the procedure could proceed without further delay.

I prioritize tasks based on the criticality of the equipment and the urgency of the need. For example, life-support devices and diagnostic equipment are given top priority. I also use a task management system to track and allocate resources efficiently, ensuring that high-priority tasks are addressed promptly.

I believe in a hands-on training approach combined with regular refresher courses. I conduct workshops where team members can practice using equipment in a controlled environment. Additionally, I provide access to online resources and encourage continuous learning through industry certifications. This approach ensures that my team is well-prepared and confident in their roles.
