Abstract
The management of medical equipment is acknowledged to be many-faceted. Maintenance is one aspect, but the field often focusses on resourcing technical staff for the purpose. We present here a new course for user (or `first-line´) maintenance of medical equipment. It is hoped that the course material can be adapted for use in settings other than the original Indian environment.
