Preventive maintenance aims to identify concerns before they affect clinical availability. Every clinic should maintain a model-specific inspection, care, and service schedule based on manufacturer requirements and local regulations.
Operators can perform routine visual checks, connection checks, handpiece cleaning, and basic consumable reviews. Energy output verification, optical alignment, internal components, and safety circuits should be handled only by authorized service personnel.
A useful maintenance log records the date, equipment identifier, observations, actions taken, and owner. Complete records support service diagnosis, planned downtime, and long-term quality management.
