For the care and performance of your electrosurgical system, Utah Medical Products
recommends users establish a program for inspection and preventive maintenance (IPM). Contact
Utah Medical Products at (800) 533-4984 for details regarding IPM service options. UTMD
recommends annual IPM for the system. See the
Test Procedures section of this
manual.
ECRI, a non-profit organization, publishes IPM Procedure 411 . This procedure recommends that
minor inspections should be performed every six months and major inspections should be done
annually. Contact ECRI at (610) 825-6000, or www.ecri.org
