Maintenance Qualification (MQ) MQ is used to describe and document regular maintenance and repairs. MQ covers all necessary measures entailing cleaning, maintenance and repair. Details of this are given in subsequent sections. I. Maintenance plan II. Preventive Maintenance III. Troubleshooting- Determining the source and cause of the problem
Maintenance GROUND RULE The Daily, Weekly and Monthly maintenance procedures must be performed as per the manufacturer s specifications
Maintenance Plan A maintenance plan will include preventive maintenance procedures as well as inventory management, troubleshooting, and repair of equipment.
Maintenance Plan When implementing an equipment maintenance program, some of the initial steps will include: Assigning responsibility for equipment maintenance and calibration. Training staff on the use and maintenance of the equipment, and assure that all staff understand their specific responsibilities. Developing the format for records, logs and forms.
Preventive Maintenance Preventive maintenance is defined as a plan of scheduled inspections of equipment and instruments resulting in minor adjustments or repairs for the purpose of delaying or avoiding major repairs and emergency or premature replacements. Preventive maintenance schedules should be followed regularly for optimal performance of equipment.
Preventive Maintenance Preventive maintenance schedules are usually prepared as per the manufacturers guidelines and may be conducted daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly, biannually or annually. preventive maintenance cannot serve as an alternative to the AMC or CMC for the lab equipment, which must be drawn with the concerned manufacturer on a regular basis and without fail.
Preventive Maintenance Preventive maintenance provides the following advantages over breakdown maintenance. Quality assured results. Fewer interruptions in services and hence higher productivity Timely identification and replacement of components showing excessive wear Greater safety Lower repair costs Less stand by equipment requirements Longer instrument life Enhanced customer satisfaction
