Biomedical teams are accountable for every device on every EC.02.04.01 schedule — whether it's where the record says it is or not.
BMETs walk floors with clipboards — or apps that pretend to solve the problem but don't. The PM schedule lives in a spreadsheet, a CMDB nobody trusts, or someone's head. Devices move constantly: loaned to other departments, left in staging areas, stored in rooms that changed purpose three months ago. By the time PM is due, half the fleet isn't where the record says it is.
The loan problem is the hard one. An infusion pump goes to cardiology for a week and stays for six months. It's still on your PM schedule. It's still your responsibility. But it's not your floor anymore, and cardiology doesn't know when it's due — or that you need it back.
When a recall comes in or a surveyor shows up, you need answers immediately. How many units are affected? Where are they right now? Who last confirmed them and when? These questions cannot take days to answer. Forager means they don't.
Used by: Biomedical Equipment Technicians (BMETs), HTM directors, and clinical compliance officers in hospitals, health systems, and multi-site medical facilities.
FDA recall notice comes in Friday afternoon. Filter by model number in Forager — every affected unit's last-known location appears immediately. Assign techs, track pull progress in real time. Every unit accounted for and documented before the weekend.
Location history shows it was moved to the equipment staging area on the 3rd floor eight days ago. Your BMET goes directly there. No floor walks, no calls to charge nurses, no guessing.
Every inspection, every device, every BMET who performed it — with photo attestation at point of service proving a human was physically present. One-click export. The surveyor has the report before they finish asking for it.
Forager's location history shows it was last confirmed in Cardiology Suite B, confirmed by a cardiology tech. You know exactly where it is and who to contact. The device is back for PM the same day.
Every confirmation of that device — who touched it, when, what room, what they observed — is in the attestation log with photos. Risk management has a complete timeline before the morning meeting starts.
The compliance dashboard shows every overdue and upcoming device sorted by urgency — automatically. Filter by floor, by device type, or by BMET. Export an audit-ready report for your surveyor in one click. No spreadsheet reconciliation required.
