Testing & Validation

Decontamination & HTM, Validation

Our Engineers are trained by the equipment manufacturers and certified to HTM 01-05, 2010, and 2030.

Routine maintenance of decontamination equipment such as autoclaves, washer disinfectors and ultrasonic baths is essential to ensure continued performance. However, it is also a legal requirement for all these devices to be validated in accordance with the relevant HTM Standards.

Ai Healthcare can provide all maintenance and validation of your equipment, using the latest test equipment and technology to ensure accuracy and full reporting to the standards. The reports we provide will evidence that your equipment meets all the standards for safety and performance.

X-RAY Inspection

It is recommended that all X-Ray systems are checked annually in line with MHRA April 2015 Managing Medical Devices. The Guidance Notes for Dental Practitioners on the Safe Use of X-Ray Equipment also states that “routine tests should normally be carried out”

What is involved?

• Review the paperwork from the previous visits
• Check the stability of the X-Ray mount and arms
• Check for any damage to the tube head
• Check the electrical and mechanical safety
• Check the condition of the X-Ray exposure control
• In the case of a panoramic X-Ray set, check the rotational movement of the X-Ray tube head and the fitting
• Complete exposures tests & record the results (patient entrance dose [mGy], kV, exposure time, filtration)
• Ensure that the exposure settings are as found on arrival
• Results will be sent to the department RPA for review
