Biomedical equipment maintenance and repair activities involve an increasing amount of paperwork and report generation. A computer system is described that collects the necessary data on-line for accuracy and efficiency. The system can generate various reports relating to repair history, spare parts usage and preventive maintenance scheduling. It is implemented on a time-sharing minicomputer, and can reduce substantially the time spent by biomedical engineers in documenting their activities.
