This course combines classroom and practical sessions. Those attending will gain an insight of the anatomy and physiology related to cardiovascular equipment and facilitate our learners to be confident with applying the principles of operation of the equipment. Coupled with practical sessions that will allow individual practice with defibrillators/ECG, patient monitoring, and specialist test equipment within a safe environment.
The course is ideally suited for clinical/medical engineers who wish to expand their knowledge of the principles of operation of cardiovascular equipment as part of continuous professional development. This course may also be of interest to those who have responsibility for the maintenance of ambulance mounted electromedical equipment.
To provide delegates with a good understanding of cardiovascular related equipment, its operating principles, applications and maintenance procedures.

Our extensive practical facilities give learners the chance to gain valuable hands-on experience within a safe and controlled environment.
Our Maintaining Cardiovascular Equipment course provides practical training in the servicing, maintenance and performance testing of cardiovascular medical equipment used in hospitals and healthcare environments. Learners develop an understanding of cardiovascular physiology, equipment operation, electrical safety and routine maintenance while gaining hands-on experience with ECG recorders, defibrillators, patient monitors, blood pressure monitors and SpO₂ monitoring equipment.
During the course you’ll gain practical experience working with a range of cardiovascular medical equipment, including:
Practical sessions allow learners to carry out maintenance, electrical safety testing and performance verification using specialist biomedical test equipment.
Yes. The course combines classroom learning with practical sessions where learners carry out maintenance, electrical safety testing and performance testing on cardiovascular medical equipment. Training includes reference to IEC 60601 and IEC 62353, helping learners understand recognised standards for medical electrical equipment.
By the end of the course you’ll be able to understand the operating principles of cardiovascular equipment, identify common hazards, carry out preventative maintenance, perform electrical safety and performance testing, and apply your knowledge to the safe maintenance of medical equipment used in healthcare environments.
The course introduces the principles of medical electrical safety with reference to IEC 60601 and IEC 62353. Learners also gain an understanding of recognised maintenance procedures and testing methods used to support the safe operation of cardiovascular medical equipment in healthcare environments.
Eastwood Park Training combines expert tuition with practical, hands-on learning using specialist biomedical equipment. Learners work with cardiovascular devices in a dedicated training environment, helping them build confidence in maintaining, testing and fault-finding on equipment used in NHS and private healthcare settings.
