The usefulness and necessity of inspection are justified on medical, economic and ethical grounds. Since medical equipment constitutes the criteria of the efficiency and performance of health institution, more attention should be devoted to the inspection of this equipment and part of financial resources should be spent on its periodic preventive inspection. The necessity of inspection applies especially to the equipment that is in a direct contact with a patient or can affect a patient’s health or treatment. 

Faulty medical devices can be the cause of false diagnoses and false or unnecessary referrals to further specialist treatment. These can also result from unrealistic results of measurement, which is even worse. Quality must therefore be given a leading role in health care. Quality is key factor for success in all fields in today’s world. To measure is to discover. Our lives and prosperity are founded on credible measurements.
