Equipment Calibration

Calibration of test equipment

Test and measuring equipment must be calibrated regularly to ensure it continues to perform its work accurately.

Test and measuring equipment manufactured within the manufacturer’s specifications can deteriorate over time due to aging, corrosion, heat, weather, exposure to electrical surges, accidental damage, and more.

Even the best test and measuring instruments may have manufacturing defects or may generate random noise from long-term operation, which can cause measurement errors.

Such errors — for example, deviations of just a few millivolts or temperature variations — can result in faulty processes, where a good device may be incorrectly rejected during testing, or a faulty device may be incorrectly approved.

It is essential to maintain the highest quality in patient safety, and therefore it is important to calibrate your test equipment regularly to ensure accurate measurement results. Nordic Service Group has over 25 years of experience calibrating medical test equipment in hospitals and laboratories across the Nordic region.

Equipment must be calibrated annually to improve the reliability of measurements. Calibration of test equipment takes place in authorized Fluke calibration laboratories located in the Netherlands and the UK. In addition to calibration, the equipment is updated with the latest software and firmware versions. These updates can only be performed by certified suppliers.

Repair of test equipment

In the event of a malfunction, we always provide an estimate of the costs based on the fault. In most cases, repair is the most cost-effective way to preserve the equipment, provided the product is still supported. Calibration is always carried out in connection with the repair.

Delivery of test equipment for servicing

You can deliver your equipment to your local Nordic Service Group office:

Denmark
Finland
Norway

Following the manufacturer’s instructions considering calibration period, your measurement will provide reliable results.

Why is it important to calibrate test equipment?

Test equipment from the medical technology sector is used to test medical devices thousands of times each year. To ensure common safety and industry standards, regular calibration of your test equipment is extremely important for ensuring the highest possible reliability. Not only can you ensure higher testing reliability, but calibrating your equipment on a regular basis can also be financially beneficial.
