Medical inspections can be stressful — but they don’t have to be. When you understand what inspectors focus on, you can prepare your clinic or med spa in advance and avoid costly compliance issues.
At VMS Biomedical Lasers, we help clinics pass inspections with ease by keeping equipment clean, calibrated, and properly documented.
The Key Areas Inspectors Review
1. Maintenance and Service Records
Inspectors want to see that every device has been routinely maintained. Missing service logs or outdated records are among the most common citations issued during inspections.
2. Calibration Accuracy
Aesthetic and surgical lasers must deliver energy within precise parameters. If your device is out of calibration, it can cause uneven results — and signal to inspectors that safety protocols aren’t being followed.
3. Safety Systems and Labels
Warning labels, key switches, and safety interlocks are crucial. Inspectors look for missing or damaged labels, bypassed safety systems, or worn protective barriers.
4. Cooling and Ventilation
Proper cooling prevents overheating and ensures consistent performance. Dirty filters or blocked vents can be flagged during equipment checks.
5. Operator Readiness
Inspectors often ask to see operator manuals and verify that staff are trained to handle the equipment properly.
