How to use these resources

Document evidence before making the parts decision.

These tools do not determine compatibility or authorize service. They make the evidence visible so a qualified person can compare it against the exact model, serial range, configuration, controlled documentation, purchase record, and return-to-service requirements.

01

Before requesting a quote

Medical Equipment Part Identification Worksheet

Record the installed system and every identifier on the component. A photograph or a familiar shape is not enough to establish identity.

Equipment context
Label transcription
Configuration that may affect compatibility
Useful photographs to retain internally
Ordering checkpoint

Ask the accountable source to confirm the exact part number, revision, serial-range applicability, supported configuration, represented condition, included accessories, warranty, return policy, and any installation, software, calibration, or exchange-core requirements.

Installed versus candidate

Part Compatibility Comparison

Use this matrix to surface differences. A completed row documents a comparison; it does not convert an unapproved substitute into an approved part.

Comparison pointInstalled / specified partCandidate partEvidence or discrepancy
Part number
Revision / suffix
Assembly or board number
Model and serial applicability
Electrical / pneumatic rating
Connector type and keying
Dimensions and mounting
Software / firmware dependency
Installed options
Calibration / pairing requirement
Represented condition

Warranty / return terms

Application, network, service, workflow

DICOM Endpoint Configuration Planner

Keep the DICOM application identity separate from the address, port, supported service, authorization, and clinical workflow being tested.

Interpret the test correctly

Ping tests IP reachability. A DICOM Echo tests the Verification service. Neither proves storage, worklist, query/retrieve, patient matching, archive indexing, display, or the complete clinical workflow.

Symptom before solution

Troubleshooting Evidence Worksheet

Organize what is known, what is inferred, and what remains untested before replacing a part or escalating the case.

Reasoning and disposition
Stop condition

Stop when the work exceeds training or authorization; controlled documentation or required test equipment is missing; hazards or interlocks are involved; the equipment cannot meet specified verification; or the evidence no longer supports a safe, controlled next step.

Before installation

Incoming Medical Equipment Part Inspection

Confirm that the received item matches the order and arrives in a condition suitable for the facility’s evaluation process.
