Better performance, better planning
Investing in high-quality medical or life science equipment is only the first step. The real challenge lies in keeping those devices operational, compliant, and cost-efficient over their full life cycle. For many hospitals and labs, service contracts are becoming a key tool in achieving this balance.
By combining preventive maintenance, predictive analytics, and validated spare parts, structured service plans help reduce unplanned downtime and extend the operational life of your equipment. At the same time, they enable better forecasting of service costs – supporting long-term budget planning and resource allocation.
Transparency in service, predictability in costs
A major advantage of maintenance contracts lies in cost transparency. Instead of handling ad-hoc repairs and unpredictable expenses, service plans allow you to work with defined cost structures. This reduces administrative burden, facilitates procurement planning, and supports compliance with budget constraints.
Getinge Care offers four modular service packages: Preventive, Plus, Premium, and Partner. Each plan includes specific elements – from scheduled maintenance and original spare parts to technical training and data access – adapted to your operational needs.
Service as risk mitigation
Unplanned device failures not only disrupt clinical workflows – they also create additional procurement, logistics, and legal risks. A well-structured service contract helps reduce these risks by ensuring that:
- Certified experts are available when needed
- Service histories are documented and auditable
- Spare parts are compliant and validated by the OEM
In short: a contract is not just a service agreement, but part of your operational safety net.
Conclusion: A strategic lever for uptime and cost control
Service contracts are no longer just a convenience—they are a strategic tool for institutions aiming to improve availability, reduce reactive costs, and plan ahead with greater certainty. Whether in hospitals, labs, or hybrid environments: predictable performance begins with structured service.
