KEBS calls for calibration of medical equipment to improve healthcare quality in Kenya Shares Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) has urged manufacturers, hospitals and clinical laboratories to regularly calibrate medical equipment. This will help reduce device related errors with an aim to enhance patient care and safety in the country. Speaking during World Metrology Day Celebrations organized under the theme Measurement for Health, Lt. Col. (Rtd.) Bernard Njiraini, KEBS Managing Director said, “Medical devices are key in diagnosis and treatment of disease. However, due to constant use, these equipment are prone to drifting and damage which impacts their performance. If a patient’s physiological, biochemical, physical, and other parameters cannot be accurately measured, the resulting decision on treatment therapy based on false test results can severely jeopardize preservation of life.”
