Connecting nursing homes, physical therapy clinics, and healthcare facilities in Illinois with qualified local biomedical technicians for patient scale calibration, PCREE testing, and compliance documentation.
Illinois is home to hundreds of skilled nursing facilities and long-term care providers, all subject to IDPH survey requirements for equipment maintenance. Our biomedical technicians serve Chicago, Springfield, Rockford, Peoria, Aurora, and communities throughout Illinois. Patient scale calibration, PCREE testing, vital monitor calibration, and general biomedical equipment repair are available with full documentation. We help Illinois SNFs maintain survey-ready equipment maintenance records year-round.
Our biomedical technicians in Illinois calibrate all types of patient scales used in healthcare facilities:
All calibration is performed using NIST-traceable reference weights. A calibration certificate is issued for each scale, showing the serial number, date calibrated, test results, and next due date.
Our technicians in Illinois are experienced with all major patient scale manufacturers including Detecto, Seca, Scale-Tronix (Welch Allyn/Hill-Rom), Health O Meter Professional, Cardinal Health, Tanita, and SR Instruments. We carry calibrated reference weights that span the full capacity range of each scale type, ensuring accurate multi-point calibration.
In addition to scale calibration, our network provides comprehensive biomedical equipment services to Illinois healthcare facilities:

Annual calibration is the standard for most healthcare facilities in Illinois. CMS Conditions of Participation require facilities to follow manufacturer recommendations, and NIST-traceable annual calibration meets this requirement. High-use scales and any scale that has been moved, dropped, or repaired should be recalibrated immediately regardless of the annual schedule.
Illinois nursing homes should maintain a calibration certificate for each patient scale showing the device make, model, and serial number; the date calibrated; the technician's name and credentials; the calibration results; and the next due date. These certificates should be kept on file and available for CMS surveyors. Medical Equipment Repair Network technicians provide this documentation after every calibration visit.
Yes. Most state physical therapy licensing boards, including Illinois's, require that electrotherapeutic devices and ultrasound therapy units be calibrated annually. Calibration records should be maintained and available for state PT board inspection. Our biomedical technicians provide e-stim and ultrasound calibration with proper documentation for PT licensing compliance.
PCREE (Patient Care Related Electrical Equipment) testing is an electrical safety inspection required by CMS for all Medicare- and Medicaid-certified facilities. It covers leakage current, ground resistance, and physical integrity for all patient care electrical equipment. As a CMS-certified state, Illinois nursing homes must comply. PCREE testing is performed annually by a qualified biomedical technician per NFPA 99 standards. For SNF-specific PCREE services, visit PCREEtest.com.
