The problem

Reactive service costs more than a PM program.

Every facility eventually pays for skipped PMs — in equipment downtime, expedited repair calls, findings on inspection reports, and equipment that fails earlier than it should.

The other cost is invisible: administrators without a clear picture of the equipment they're responsible for, and staff assumptions that 'someone else' is tracking it.

PBES delivers PM as a real program — with per-device records, next-due visibility, and multi-site rollups through TESSA.

Common issues

What PBES PM programs typically cover.

PM programs are tailored to equipment type, use, and manufacturer guidance.

Functional verification

Verifies the device operates within expected parameters.

Wear-item inspection

Gaskets, cables, cuffs, filters, batteries, and similar wear items.

Calibration checks

Where applicable, calibration and verification against a reference.

Electrical safety inspection

Ground continuity, leakage current, and cord condition.

Firmware / configuration

Manufacturer firmware and configuration review where applicable.

Accessories

Confirmation that clinical accessories are present and functional.

Documentation review

Confirms records are complete and next-due is scheduled.

Finding follow-up

Any finding routes to a repair recommendation with clear next steps.

Our approach

How PBES handles every service visit.

A disciplined sequence, delivered the same way on every device — so your team gets consistent service and consistent documentation through TESSA.

  1. Step 01

    Document the reported issue

    Capture symptoms, error codes, history, and how the problem is affecting the workflow.

  2. Step 02

    Identify equipment and asset details

    Confirm make, model, serial, and control number so the record ties back to the right device.

  3. Step 03

    Inspect and test the device

    Visual inspection plus operational testing appropriate for the equipment and reported issue.

  4. Step 04

    Troubleshoot the likely cause

    Based on manufacturer guidance and service findings, isolate the probable cause or next step.

  5. Step 05

    Perform service, PM, or recommendation

    Adjustments, cleaning, wear-part replacement, or clear repair recommendations when parts and scope allow.

  6. Step 06

    Verify operation and document in TESSA

    Post-service verification and a clean written report you can hand to an administrator or surveyor.

TESSA · The PBES advantage

Every device on a real PM schedule.

TESSA makes PM programs visible — inventory, last-service, next-due, and findings — so administrators can plan, budget, and prove the work.

TESSA — Technical Equipment Support and Service Assistant — is how PBES organizes equipment records, service history, PM status, and repair follow-up for the facilities we serve.

  • Full equipment inventory by location
  • PM interval and next-due per device
  • Service history and findings captured
  • ESI records on the same asset
  • Follow-ups visible to administrators
  • Multi-site rollups for capital planning

Documentation

Clear documentation after every service visit.

TESSA helps PBES produce clean, consistent service documentation — the record your administrators, biomed program, and surveyors expect to see.

  • Equipment identification (make, model, serial)
  • PM interval and next-due date
  • Checks performed and results
  • Wear items inspected and replacements
  • ESI results when combined
  • Recommendations and follow-up
  • Photos when available
  • Technician and visit date

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What's included in a typical PM visit?

A PM visit typically includes functional verification, inspection of wear items, applicable calibration checks, electrical safety inspection where relevant, and documented recommendations.

How often should PMs be performed?

Most equipment benefits from at least an annual PM; frequency should follow manufacturer guidance and how heavily the device is used.

Can PBES build a PM program for our facility?

Yes. PBES builds PM programs aligned with equipment type, use, and manufacturer guidance, and documents every visit through TESSA.

Do you combine PM and ESI in a single visit?

Where applicable, PM and ESI are combined into one visit to minimize disruption to clinical operations.

Can PBES support PM programs across multiple sites?

Yes. TESSA is built for multi-site organizations and gives administrators one view across every location.

Do you handle PM on both older and newer equipment?

PBES supports many common medical devices. Specific capabilities depend on make, model, and parts availability.

How are PM records structured?

Records are per-device and include identification, interval, checks performed, findings, and next-due — suitable for internal files and inspection documentation.
