# How Do I Track Equipment Maintenance for Medical Devices?

You track medical device maintenance by giving every device its own maintenance schedule connected to usage or time, triggering an automatic alert as the next service date approaches. On **Jestor**, this runs through an equipment **table** with maintenance schedules.

Medical equipment maintained only when someone remembers to check risks a device missing scheduled service until a malfunction forces the issue, right when it's needed for a patient.

## What informally tracked device maintenance costs

- Devices missing scheduled service because no one remembered to check
- A malfunction discovered precisely when the device is needed for a patient
- No systematic way to see maintenance status across every device at once
- Compliance risk from equipment not maintained on its required schedule

## How structured device maintenance tracking works

- Every device carries its own maintenance **schedule**, tied to time or usage
- Automation alerts staff as the next service date approaches
- A dashboard shows maintenance status across every device in one view
- Service history stays connected to the individual device's record

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Automated alerts remove the dependency on someone remembering to check
- This reduces the risk of a malfunction happening exactly when needed most
- Consolidated visibility covers every device's maintenance status at once
- This scales from a few devices to a clinic with a large equipment inventory
