Technews Industry Guide: Sustainable Manufacturing 2021 Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration

Healthcare facility professionals work with mission-critical equipment every day – failure is really not an option. Medical businesses must be able to face life-and-death issues around the clock, so maintaining constant uptime is as crucial as finding ways to save on energy costs and adhering to stringent regulatory requirements. Comtest offers a full suite of Fluke test tools to monitor, troubleshoot and repair a medical facility. Why Fluke test and measurement equipment? Because it is the industry benchmark against which all other tools are measured.

They face issues of meeting safety standards, troubleshooting sensitive equipment and preventing unscheduled downtimes. For this application, Comtest offers Fluke’s digital multimeters, power quality analysers, infrared thermometers, insulation meters and handheld oscilloscopes.

The environmental health and safety professional focuses on health and safety protocols and air quality control. Issues faced are maintaining good air quality for hospital environments and educating and enforcing adherence to infection control protocols.
