Start with a complete register
Every instrument and critical piece of equipment should be listed with its identifier, location, supplier, warranty and service contact. You cannot manage what is not on the list.
Calibration is a schedule, not an event
Each item has an interval. Record the last calibration, calculate the next due date and warn the responsible person before it passes. An overdue calibration should be visible to everyone who might use the instrument.
Keep the maintenance history
Scheduled servicing, repairs and calibrations belong in one timeline per item, with who did the work and what was found. The history explains past results and justifies replacement decisions.
Connect failures to consequences
When equipment fails or drifts out of range, you need to know which stock or results may be affected. Linking equipment to storage, readings and tests makes that a lookup instead of an investigation.
Common questions
As often as the manufacturer, your quality system and your regulator require. Vitrio stores the interval you set for each item and reminds you.
Anything that affects a result or the storage of reagents should be recorded. Many laboratories include pipettes, thermometers and balances.
