Welcome to Ohio Biomedical Services

OBS’s meticulous maintenance procedures are based on precise manufacturer’s model specifications. 

Our preventive maintenance process utilizes “Expected Value Testing” which identifies exact tolerance levels and electrical safety output. Expected value testing is far superior over pass/fail acceptance testing used by most biomedical services companies. After the work is completed, OBS’s compliance reporting system records your equipment’s actual performance and output values to meet regulatory compliance. 

OBS’s robust database houses your maintenance history on a secure web-based wireless – paperless system with logs by unique control number, department location and device. Any of these reports are readily available to you upon request by e-mail.

OBS gives you 24 hour, 7 days a week, 365 days a year reliable accessibility and service excellence. Our Rapid Response On-Call Service System ensures immediate attention to meet your urgent needs in case of an equipment emergency. All of our repairs adhere to specific manufacturer’s recommendations. Parts specification and purchasing services are included within our clinical equipment repair services.
