WHAT IS A BMET?

 

A biomedical equipment technician (BMET) is someone who is responsible for the proper functioning of medical equipment in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and military facilities. The primary job of a BMET is to make sure the medical equipment at hand is operating according to manufacturer specifications, properly maintained on a routine schedule, and properly configured. BMETs are trained to inspect, install, maintain, repair, and re-calibrate existing equipment.

In settings where a healthcare provider does not have a full time BMET on staff, a visiting BMET should also advise and train other staff on basic equipment maintenance procedures. They are the silent backbone of a well operating healthcare facility and can prevent unwanted downtime due to mechanical failure of equipment.https://www.ersmedical.com/on-demand-bmet-staffing.php
