What does a biomed do?

A Biomed, short for biomedical equipment technician (BMET), is responsible for installing, maintaining, and repairing medical equipment used in healthcare settings. They ensure that devices such as ventilators, defibrillators, and imaging machines operate safely and efficiently. Biomeds also perform routine inspections, calibrations, and safety tests to comply with regulatory standards. Their work is crucial in supporting patient care by minimizing equipment downtime and ensuring medical devices are reliable.
