It’s important to have a preventive maintenance program to address:

• normal wear of mechanical and electrical parts.

• failure due to movement for cleaning, rearranging or relocation.

• extremes in ambient temperature, humidity, dust & dirt.

• electronic interference from adjacent electronic devices.


Cabinets may also be eligible for retrofit of design improvements introduced in newer product models.

• Monitor ambient conditions of your med room (temperature, humidity, electronic interference) as well as power and network connectivity.

• Apply relevant updates to operating system, drivers and firmware and keep antivirus protection updated.
