PCREE Inspection & Testing

Is Your Facility Prepared for a PCREE Inspection?

Stay Survey-Ready. Stay Compliant. Stay Protected.

PCREE inspection services in Indiana are critical for maintaining compliance and avoiding K-921 deficiencies. Skilled nursing and Long-term care facilities are increasingly being cited under K-921 deficiencies during survey inspections for failure to maintain a documented medical equipment maintenance program.

If your facility has recently been asked about your PCREE inspection and testing program, you’re not alone—PHX Biomedical is here to help.

What Is PCREE?

PCREE (Patient Care-Related Electrical Equipment) refers to medical devices that are used for diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, or care of residents and are powered by electricity. These devices must be properly inspected, tested, and maintained to ensure resident safety and regulatory compliance.

Examples include:

1
Patient scales
2
Suction machines
3
Oxygen concentrators
4
Vital sign monitors
5
Patient lifts
6
Specialty patient beds and powered mattresses

Understanding K-921 Deficiencies

Under the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) survey guidelines, facilities are required to:

1
Maintain a documented medical equipment maintenance plan
2
Maintain records demonstrating compliance
3
Follow manufacturer recommendations or an approved Alternative Equipment Maintenance (AEM) program
4
Ensure equipment is safe and properly functioning
5
Perform routine inspection and testing

Failure to demonstrate compliance may result in a K-921 citation, which can impact:

Survey outcomes
Star ratings
Corrective action plans
Reimbursement risk
Liability exposure

Surveyors are increasingly requesting documentation that proves facilities have an active PCREE program in place.
