text: A biomedical equipment technician (BMET) is someone who is trained to ensure that medical equipment in hospitals, clinics, and in the military is well-maintained, safely functional and properly configured. BMETs are trained to inspect, install, maintain, repair, calibrate existing equipment and advise and train other staff in the process. They are a vital part of a well structured team and can prevent time lost to mechanical failure of equipment and they can increase the expertise of the wider team through training and knowledge sharing.
  A certified biomedical equipment technician has the expertise to maintain and repair the following equipment:
  Diagnostic Medical Imaging equipment
  Laboratory equipment
  Surgical equipment
  Healthcare technology
  Nuclear imaging equipment
  BMETs are vital to the successful operation of a medical facility and are relied upon by patients in critical care situations and by healthcare professionals for the smooth running of their institutions. BMETs are responsible for a wide range of equipment from surgical equipment right through to complex nuclear imaging equipment and their wide ranging skills from the technical to the interpersonal make them invaluable. Facilities can find that due to unforeseen circumstances the in-house BMET team is temporarily reduced. This can be due to existing staff FMLA, disability, vacation, or retirement. In this situation the ideal solution is to hire temporary BMET staff for as long as is required.
