Medical devices are the eyes and hands of modern healthcare. When a patient monitor displays incorrect SpO2 readings or a ventilator delivers the wrong tidal volume, clinical decisions are made on faulty data.
Regulatory context in Ghana
HeFRA and Ghana Health Service expect facilities to maintain documented evidence that critical equipment performs within manufacturer specifications. Calibration certificates with GSA traceability form the backbone of that evidence.
Recommended intervals
Most critical care equipment should be calibrated annually, or per manufacturer guidance — whichever is more frequent. Infusion pumps, defibrillators, and ventilators are high-priority.
What to look for in a certificate
A valid calibration certificate should include: equipment identification, test results with pass/fail criteria, traceability statement to national standards, engineer signature, and next due date.
