Ref. No. : UPHSSP/QA/CALIBRATION AGENCY/2015-16/01/CN1 Uttar Pradesh Health Systems Strengthening Project TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR CALIBRATION AGENCY OBJECTIVE: To perform calibration services, safety testing of biomedical equipment in accordance with current standards, codes and procedures. PURPOSE: Testing and calibration of the Bio medical equipment is proposed to be done to ensure quality control of equipment. Calibration is the process of evaluating and adjusting the precision and accuracy of measurement equipment. Calibration of equipment would ensure accuracy in diagnosis and effectiveness in treatment and developing care plan of the patient in hospital setting. Proper calibration of an instrument allows people to have a safe working environment and produce valid data for future reference. The instrument reads in the same units as the reference standards. The purpose of the calibration is to identify and eliminate any bias in the instrument relative to the defined unit of measurement. To ensure medical devices / equipment are safe and reliable and that they operate at the required level of performance in support of quality patient care. When do instruments need to be calibrated? Before major critical measurements Before any measurements that requires highly accurate data, send the instruments out for calibration and remain unused before the test. After major critical measurements. Send the instrument for calibration after the test helps user decide whether the data obtained were reliable or not. Also, when using an instrument for a long time, the instrument's conditions will change. After an event. The event here refers to any event that happens to the instrument. For example, when something hits the instrument or any kinds of accidents that might impact the instrument's accuracy. A safety check is also recommended. When observations appear questionable. When you suspect the data's accuracy that is due to instrumental errors, send the instrument to calibrate. Per requirements. Some experiments require calibration certificates. Check the requirements first before starting the experiment. dicated by manufacturer. Every instrument will need to be calibrated periodically to make sure it can function properly and safely. Periodicity of Calibration should be at least once in a year or as per manufacturer recommendation- Background: It is extremely important in achieving quality control of the highest standard in medical equipment. Testing and calibration of the equipment is to be done from recognized calibrating agencies those are expertise in dealing with Bio medical equipment s. strument calibration is intended to eliminate or reduce bias in an instrument's readings over a range for all continuous values. Precision is the degree to which repeated measurements under unchanged conditions show the same result. Accuracy is the degree of closeness of measurements of a quantity to its actual true value. For this purpose, reference standards with known values for selected points covering the range of interest are measured with the instrument in question. Then a functional relationship is established between the values of the standards and the
corresponding measurements. The instrument reads in different units than the reference standards. The purpose of the calibration is to convert the instrument readings to the units of interest. Job Description: The agency will: Perform calibration services on specified biomedical equipment/medical devices in accordance with the known standards. Adjust internal electronics for direct read so no correction is required Verify performance with electronic calibration Make mechanical adjustment as required Maintain and update the equipment inventory (including stored faulty equipment) by adding information on the status of equipment, maintenance history, where known, routine maintenance requirements and expected timing of replacement of all biomedical equipment and medical devices. Prepare a recommended list of spares for essential medical equipment. spect and test biomedical equipment medical devices to ensure compliance with manufacturer s specification and standards. Perform other related duties as assigned and as requested by the Ministry of Health and Social Services. Calibration is done at least once in a year hence calibration sticker after successful completion of the calibration to be pasted on the equipment surface which should include Name of the Equipment, Calibration date, Due date of calibration, department, Name of the agency. Qualification & Other Requirements 1. Must be an accredited calibration agency under the Nation Accreditation board for testing and calibration Laboratories (NABL) 2. Calibration of the Bio medical equipment is to be carried out by the Bio medical Engineer. 3. Agency interested in taking up the task should provide key parameter of testing and calibrating bio medical equipment, Traceability Certificates of its Master Calibrator and conclude by documenting the test results and issuing a calibration certificate for Bio medical equipments. Skills & Experience required for the Agency: Must be experienced in the repair, calibration and use of general bio-medical equipment Experience in the repair, calibration and use of x-ray and imaging equipment. Experience in the Operating Theatre environment and equipment associated with this area. Reporting Requirements of the Agency: Agency will report to the CMS /SIC of the Hospital. An updated equipment calibration history should be submitted to the CMS/SIC of Hospital reporting progress against the work plan and recommendations for further service development and improvements including any additional training required for hospital staff.
