<![CDATA[Effective medical equipment management is crucial for ensuring patient safety and service quality. Observations at the Inpatient Installation of RS Nurussyifa Kudus revealed that 25% of the 12 examined medical device types were problematic (including infusion pumps and nebulizers requiring recalibration, and uncalibrated digital thermometers), posing a risk of increased diagnostic errors and operational disruptions if not addressed promptly. To evaluate the monitoring and control processes of medical equipment in hospital inpatient units to ensure compliance with national health standards. This qualitative descriptive study was conducted at the Inpatient Installation of RS Nurussyifa Kudus in November 2025. Data were collected through direct observation of medical equipment conditions, interviews with electromedical technicians and nursing staff, and a review of maintenance documentation based on the Ministry of Health regulations regarding technical requirements for hospital infrastructure and equipment. Data were analyzed descriptively through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Findings indicate that while most medical equipment is in good condition and functioning optimally, gaps exist in the calibration schedule for certain devices such as infusion pumps and nebulizers. The current maintenance system relies heavily on periodic technical inspections, highlighting an urgent need to transition to digital documentation to improve monitoring accuracy and early detection of performance declines. The implementation of a systematic and digital-based medical equipment management strategy is vital to minimize operational risks. Continuous training for medical staff and strict adherence to calibration schedules are recommended to maintain healthcare quality and patient safety.]]>
