The vast majority of medical devices benefit little from preventive maintenance and they should be allowed to run to failure unless (a) they have life-threatening or very serious PM-preventable failure modes, or (b) proactively replacing the non-durable parts will be more cost-effective than simply repairing the device when it breaks. Streamlining our PM programs to focus on the devices with high consequence PM-related failures would free up substantial technical manpower devoted to medical equipment maintenance.
