Our Clinical Engineering Services provide modular and flexible solutions that answer to the needs of healthcare facilities.
The innovative aspect of this service is that it brings together technical and specialised resources in the healthcare industry, through a collaboration with operators in the field, to provide solutions for clinical and operational problems.

Services include the safe and effective management of technologies and applications of medical and biological engineering in a clinical setting, offered in a wide range of sectors of engineering from development, to design, to organisation.
In particular, clinical engineering services are offered to provide technical assistance with biomedical equipment, consequently allowing for a substantial reduction in the time a machine remains offline, improved efficiency and an optimal relationship between operational costs and benefits.

Ingegneria Biomedica Santa Lucia S.p.A., part of the Giglio Group, offers modular and flexible solutions that answer to the needs of healthcare facilities for the management, maintenance and safety of biomedical and scientific equipment.

In particular, IBSL provides maintenance and periodic inspection services, certifies safety conditions and performance (for conformity with technical regulations for the specific sector), along with operational support services and a wide range of consultation services. All of the services
offered are managed and tracked using the most advanced computerised technologies that also provide the client with a key informational and management tool.

Maintenance services include planned and corrective maintenance, repairs, periodic equipment performance checks, quality controls, extraordinary maintenance, the transfer and reinstallation of equipment and network
connections. 

Professionalism
and high technological
standards to guarantee
the highest level
of efficiency

Safety inspection and certification services include:
• verification of the prerequisites during the equipment purchasing process and the installation phase;
• acceptance testing and periodic controls of the safety parameters and the essential performance of the biomedical echnologies in accordance with current technical regulations;
• the training and updating of operators on the proper and  safe use of the equipment;
• the complex measures required to comply with the European  Directive on Medical Devices 93/42 and the requirements pursuant to law 626 for workplace safety, in relation to biomedical devices;
• monitoring regulations for updates;
• the computerised documentation of the operations related  to safety based on quality standards and in accordance with requirements established by the competent authorities.

Management and consultation services are provided for  both technological assets and for the computerisation of various processes (maintenance, inventory, etc.) for which IBSL has designed and created a special computerised system using the most updated computer technologies available on the market.

More specifically, all of the data related to the technologies  and every related maintenance task is managed by the special computer system, which guarantees thorough tracking and traceability, along with the processing of statistical and informational data with reports and ad-hoc analyses according to the client’s specifications and relevant regional/ministerial
standards.
This computerised tool is also made available to healthcare facilities for their own use, to meet specific managerial needs (control panel, reports and statistics,…) and operational needs (registration of data and tasks, intervention management,…).

Specialised technical consultation services, also provided using the data compiled by the management software, include:
• the analysis of the biomedical equipment inventory to verify operation costs and to identify eventual costs;
• consultation services during the equipment purchasing process (especially for defining the specifications, drafting the technical specifications, making technical comparisons);
• assistance with hospital design and the procedures required for the accreditation of health facilities in accordance with the requisites for the maintenance and management of biomedical equipment;
• analysis of the equipment’s state of obsolescence;
• conforming with operational models and analysis tools as defined by HRM (Health-care Risk Management) and HTA (Health Technology Assessment) standards;
• the training and updating of technical, administrative and medical staff.
