LINAC service contracts are used in hospitals and clinics on medical equipment and machines that are used in the process of treating cancer patients with radiation therapy. LINAC service contracts are agreements between companies that state services will be performed on medical equipment as necessary for a specific time. Linear accelerators are available in many medical facilities to be used in the treatment of cancer. This machine allows radiation to conform to the size and shapes of tumors in patients with cancer. This treatment is targeted to the cancerous tumors without affecting healthy tissues that are nearby. Radiation oncology equipment is crucial to treatment. This leads most hospitals and facilities to require regular service and maintenance on medical equipment throughout the radiation department. Many companies servicing LINAC machines have replacement parts in stock and quick access to regularly needed replacement parts; this ensures that important equipment is serviced and repaired in a timely manner to avoid lengthy downtime. The top five replacement parts kept on hand for linear accelerators maintenance and repair include:
-
Thyratron
-
Spare Pendant
-
Hydraulic Actuator
-
MLC Motor
-
Long/Lat drive for patient table
