Preventive Maintenance Kit: Long-Term Reliability for Medical Systems

The Preventive Maintenance Kit is designed to support the long-term performance and structural integrity of hospital air and vacuum systems. This maintenance procedure is recommended every 12,000 hours or once every 2 years, whichever comes first.

It includes mechanical part replacements that go beyond routine servicing, helping to extend the total lifespan of the system and prevent unexpected mechanical failures.

Purpose of Preventive Maintenance

While general maintenance covers oil and filter changes, the Preventive Maintenance Kit focuses on critical moving and sealing components that wear out over time.

Hospitals depend on uninterrupted air and vacuum supply. Any sudden equipment failure due to worn bearings or seals can interrupt patient care. This kit eliminates that risk by replacing all major internal wear parts in a scheduled, controlled manner.

What’s Included in the Preventive Maintenance Kit

The Tecnomed Preventive Maintenance Kit contains the following:

1. Replacement of Bearings
   Worn bearings can cause vibration, overheating, or shaft damage. Replacing them restores stable and quiet operation.

2. Cover Gaskets Replacement
   These prevent air, oil, or moisture leaks from system housing. Replacing them maintains full system sealing integrity.

3. Change of Bearings
   A second stage of bearing replacement ensures all rotating elements operate smoothly.

4. Change of Sealings
   Sealing components degrade due to pressure and temperature cycles. New seals protect internal parts and contain operational pressure.

5. Change of Pallets
   Pallets in rotary systems wear down and reduce vacuum efficiency. Replacement restores proper suction performance.

6. Coupling Change
   The flexible coupling between motor and compressor is replaced to maintain torque transmission and mechanical alignment.

Maintenance Interval and Scheduling

This Preventive Maintenance Kit is applied at major service intervals:

• Every 12,000 hours of operation

• Or once every 2 years

This time frame ensures internal components are renewed before wear causes breakdown, avoiding expensive repairs and emergency downtime.

Benefits of Preventive Maintenance

By using the Preventive Maintenance Kit, hospitals and service providers gain:

• Reduced risk of system failure

• Extended equipment lifespan

• Improved suction and air performance

• Lower long-term maintenance costs

• Improved safety and operating stability

It also supports better scheduling, allowing maintenance to be performed during planned service windows rather than emergency shutdowns.

Compatibility and Use Cases

The Preventive Maintenance Kit is ideal for:

• Medical air plants

• Vacuum pump systems

• Rotary compressor assemblies

• Hospital gas generation units

It is specially tailored to Tecnomed systems but can also be used with other compatible medical-grade infrastructure that follows similar service intervals.
