Operating medical equipment safely and confidently is extremely important, especially if you are being treated from home. Whether you are using these devices yourself, or are being helped by family and friends, anybody who is handling the equipment needs to be properly trained and know the procedures that go into their daily use. With improper use, these devices could malfunction, breakdown, or not be treating the person effectively, which could lead to health risks and even hospitalization. In order to avoid any of these potential threats, use Lumiform's Home Care Medical Device Safety Template along with other resources provided for free by Lumiform, like our Medical History Form Template so that anyone helping you receiving healthcare treatment can be aware of any important medical history information they may need to better care for you.
