Biomedical Engineering Services
Istela provides comprehensive installation and commissioning support for medical equipment, acting as a single point of contact and coordinating the process from delivery through to operational handover. We work closely with customers, project teams, estates departments, manufacturers, and specialist partners to ensure a safe, efficient, and compliant deployment.
Our experience includes commissioning several NHS Nightingale Hospitals, equipment installation programmes across the UK, and ongoing support for international healthcare projects. We also coordinate end-user training, helping clinical teams develop the knowledge and confidence to operate equipment safely and effectively from day one.
Istela provides asset audit and condition reporting services that give healthcare organisations greater visibility and control of their medical equipment estate. By establishing a clear picture of equipment type, location, age, condition, utilisation, and service status, organisations can make more informed decisions around asset management, risk, replacement planning, and capital investment.
Audits can be delivered as a standalone service or as part of a wider maintenance and asset management programme. Reporting is tailored to your requirements, from basic asset verification through to detailed condition assessments, lifecycle analysis, and replacement planning recommendations.
Beyond the initial audit, Istela provides ongoing asset management support to help organisations maintain an accurate, up-to-date view of their equipment estate. Asset information, service histories, maintenance records, and lifecycle data are securely managed within our cloud-based system and accessible through our client portal at any time.
This gives you the visibility and insight needed to support maintenance planning, compliance, capital expenditure decisions, and long-term equipment replacement strategies. By keeping asset data accurate and current, organisations can better manage risk, optimise equipment performance, and make evidence-based decisions about their healthcare technology.
Istela provides professional medical equipment decommissioning services to support the safe, compliant, and efficient removal of equipment from service. Our service includes asset identification, disconnection, safe removal, logistical coordination, and environmentally responsible disposal, recycling, or redistribution where appropriate.
Whether supporting individual asset replacements, department refurbishments, or large-scale programmes, we work closely with customers, estates teams, and clinical departments to minimise disruption and meet all relevant regulatory and environmental requirements. Comprehensive documentation is provided throughout, ensuring clear audit trails and supporting effective asset management planning.
