What Our Technician Checks Before Leaving Your Home

At MedTech Installation, our job doesn't end when the equipment is assembled. Before our technician leaves your home, every piece of medical equipment undergoes a thorough inspection and functional test to ensure it is safe, secure, and ready for everyday use.

Whether we've assembled a hospital bed, mobility scooter, patient lift, lift chair, wheelchair, or another piece of home medical equipment, we follow a detailed checklist to give you complete peace of mind.

1. Complete Assembly Verification

Our technician first confirms that every component has been assembled according to the manufacturer's guidelines.

This includes verifying:

  • All major components are installed

  • Accessories are properly attached

  • All hardware is tightened securely

  • Protective packaging has been removed

We never consider the job complete until every part has been properly installed.

2. Structural Safety Inspection

Safety is our highest priority.

Before leaving, we inspect the equipment for:

  • Frame stability

  • Proper alignment

  • Secure joints

  • Tight mounting brackets

  • Correct installation of moving components

The equipment should feel solid, stable, and secure during normal use.

3. Functional Testing

Every major function is tested before the equipment is placed into service.

Depending on the equipment, we may test:

Hospital Beds

  • Head adjustment

  • Foot adjustment

  • Bed height adjustment

  • Side rail operation

  • Power connections

  • Battery installation

  • Charging operation

  • Remote control response

  • Cable routing

  • Electrical connectors

We also check that no wires are pinched or exposed.

5. Wheel and Brake Inspection

If the equipment includes wheels or casters, we check:

  • Smooth rolling

  • Locking mechanisms

  • Stability

  • Proper wheel alignment

This helps ensure safe movement and secure positioning.

6. Safety Feature Verification

Depending on the equipment, we inspect:

  • Side rails

  • Safety locks

  • Anti-tip devices

  • Emergency stop buttons

  • Emergency lowering systems

  • Locking pins

  • Weight-bearing components

Every safety feature is checked before use.

7. Comfort and Adjustment

Whenever possible, we adjust the equipment for the user's comfort.

This may include:

  • Seat height

  • Armrest position

  • Footrest adjustment

  • Headrest positioning

  • Bed height

  • Steering tiller angle (mobility scooters)

Proper adjustment improves both comfort and usability.

8. Customer Demonstration

Once the equipment has been assembled and tested, our technician demonstrates how it works.

We explain:

  • Basic operation

  • Remote controls

  • Charging procedures

  • Safety features

  • Locking mechanisms

  • Daily use recommendations

We encourage customers and caregivers to ask questions before the appointment is complete.

9. Final Visual Inspection

Before leaving, we perform one final walkthrough to verify:

  • The equipment is clean.

  • No tools or packaging materials remain.

  • All accessories are installed.

  • Nothing has been overlooked.

We leave the work area neat and organized.

10. Ready for Everyday Use

Our goal is simple:

When we leave your home, your equipment should be fully assembled, thoroughly tested, and ready for immediate use.

You shouldn't have to tighten bolts, adjust components, or guess how anything works.

Our Commitment to Quality

Every installation we perform is completed with attention to detail and a commitment to safety.

Our technicians are trained to:

  • Follow manufacturer recommendations

  • Perform careful inspections

  • Test all major functions

  • Verify safety features

  • Provide clear operating instructions

We believe every customer deserves equipment that is assembled correctly the first time.
