One inspector recommended that our stickers reflect the annual PM only, because that is when the safety test is done. We still sticker every machine we PM or check in, and include a "Next PM Due" date on the sticker. This places at least some of the responsibility on the staff, so we are somewhat less likely to find that smaller machines have been hidden away to keep us from finding them. This may not be a big problem in just a dialysis unit, but I work in the main hospital and it is a HUGE problem there. =(
You can customize your stickers to include whatever information you'd like. I have Last PM Date/Hours, Next PM Date/Hours, and Tech Initials. United Ad Labels is one of the companies out there... www.veriad.com
