The study has been undertaken to discuss biomedical services and inventory management in healthcare, emphasizing the importance of maintaining medical equipment for effective patient care. It highlights aspects of biomedical inventory management, such as equipment tracking, vendor relationships, regulatory compliance, and budget allocation. The relevance of real-time equipment management is emphasized. The objective was to evaluate biomedical equipment maintenance in operation theatres, examining existing documentation and conducting an audit. The study finds that 97.58% of equipment is present, with reasons for utilization beyond preventive maintenance. The utilization reasons include equipment availability, low risk of failure, in-house expertise, service engineer availability, and planned phased replacement.
