The global medical equipment calibration services market size is expected to reach USD 2.2 billion by 2028, registering a CAGR of 9.4% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is majorly driven by the demand for refurbished medical equipment, stringent regulations, and market strategies, such as total annual calibration service subscriptions, provided by service providers.
Calibration ensures the highest level of precision for medical devices while also lowering costs, making it an essential component of biomedical cGMP and FDA compliance. As medical equipment measurements have a significant impact on public health and safety, pharma and biotech businesses must adhere to ISO/IEC 17025:2005 regulations throughout testing, calibration, and sampling.
The calibration requirements for equipment are defined in title 21 of the FDA’s Code of Federal Regulations. As per section 820.72, manufacturers are required to inspect, measure, and test equipment to ensure that it is adequate for its intended purpose and capable of producing correct findings. Noncompliance with FDA equipment calibration standards can result in significant financial fines. It ranges from $100,000for individual errors that do not result in a patient's death to $500,000 for a noncompliance issue that results in a patient's death.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on the market The healthcare sector has experienced unprecedented difficulty as a result of governments' clear social distancing attempts to prevent the virus from spreading. This has affected the sales reps, medical scientific liaisons, and pharma personnel's face-to-face interactions.
