Frequently asked questions
Does NABH require calibration records?
Hospitals preparing for NABH typically maintain calibration records for applicable biomedical equipment according to policy and risk.
Can expired calibration create a finding?
Yes. Expired records can create audit findings unless risk review and corrective action are documented.
