What a PBES Service Report Looks Like
Every PBES visit produces the same TESSA-generated service report. Here's what's inside it and why administrators can hand it directly to a surveyor.
Overview
A biomedical service report is only useful if it answers the questions a surveyor, administrator, or manufacturer will eventually ask. PBES reports are structured around exactly those questions — device identity, inspection scope, measurement values, pass/fail, and technician accountability.
The document is standardized across every facility we service and generated by TESSA, our internal asset-management platform, so historical service history is always exportable in the same shape.
Requirements checklist
What's actually required.
Device identity block
Unique asset ID, make, model, serial number, and physical location — matched to the facility's inventory.
Inspection scope and standards referenced
What was performed (visual, functional, electrical safety, PM) and which standard the tests reference (AAMI ES1, NFPA 99, manufacturer).
Measurement values with limits
Ground resistance and leakage-current readings with the AAMI ES1 pass/fail limits printed alongside.
Pass / fail / conditional determination
Explicit outcome per device with any parts or follow-up flagged.
Technician signature and date
Field technician identity and date-of-service on every record.
Corrective action / next PM date
Any open items and the scheduled next PM date for the device.
FAQ
Common questions.
Can I see a real sample report?
Yes. Request the sample-report packet from the CTA below and it's emailed to you automatically.
Is the report format the same across every state and facility?
Yes. Every PBES service visit — whether it's a Vero Beach surgery center or an Oregon urgent care — produces the same TESSA-generated report format.
Can administrators export historical service history?
Yes. PBES clients can pull service history per device or per facility in the same standardized format, typically in one click from the TESSA account view.
