Biomedical Equipment Repair & Maintenance

Biomedical equipment technicians repair, maintain, and calibrate medical devices for hospitals, clinics, and healthcare facilities.

With facilities requiring equipment uptime and preventive maintenance mandated, service companies generate revenue of $140,000-$480,000 annually with profit margins of 40-60% through service contracts and repairs.

The business requires biomedical training and certification, service tools and test equipment, vehicle for field service, spare parts inventory, and manufacturer training.

Services include preventive maintenance, equipment repair, calibration and testing, safety inspections, and emergency service.

Pricing typically $85-$150 per hour plus parts.

Success factors include biomedical expertise across equipment types, manufacturer certifications, fast response for critical equipment, comprehensive service contracts, and facility relationships.

Most technicians specialize in equipment categories (patient monitors, imaging, laboratory, surgical) or facilities (hospitals, clinics, dialysis centers).

The business combines scheduled preventive maintenance with emergency repairs.

Accreditation standards (Joint Commission, AAMI) require annual equipment testing.

Marketing focuses on hospitals, surgery centers, dialysis facilities, and demonstrating technical expertise and service quality.

With medical equipment critical for patient care and facilities outsourcing service in 2025, biomedical repair offers technical opportunities for certified technicians providing essential equipment maintenance keeping healthcare facilities operational.
