PRIMERO, D.F; DIAZ, J.C; GARCIA, L.F  and  GONZALEZ-VARGAS, A. MANUAL FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE OF BIOMEDICAL EQUIPMENT IN FUNDACIÓN VALLE DEL LILI. Rev. ing. biomed. [online]. 2015, vol.9, n.18, pp.81-87. ISSN 1909-9762.

The corrective maintenance is aimed at correcting the shortcomings in the equipment or facilities, locating faults and repairing them. Repair costs of equipment are usually much higher in the corrective stage than in the preventive stage, and the existing literature is oriented more towards prevention than correction. However, it is inevitable that in a hospital, as elsewhere, problems are often present on computers that could not be foreseen or avoided through preventive or corrective maintenance. For this reason corrective maintenance protocols containing clearly defined criteria and processes to improve efficiency and effectiveness in solving problems and ensuring maximum availability in the provision of services, are needed. This paper presents a case study, development and implementation of a Management Manual for corrective maintenance of the highest level clinics in the city of Cali: The Fundación Valle del Lili.

Keywords : Corrective Maintenance; Biomedical Equipment; Maintenance Management.
