Cytiva offers services across the full equipment lifecycle, including installation and qualification, preventive maintenance, service plans, remote support, upgrades, spare parts, maintenance training, equipment relocation, and decommissioning.

Preventive maintenance is a proactive approach that focuses on planned servicing, inspections, and upgrades to help prevent equipment failures before they occur. Preventive maintenance helps reduce unplanned downtime, protect batch quality, manage costs, and support regulatory compliance in increasingly complex manufacturing environments.

Current GMP and GxP expectations emphasize proactive risk management. Preventive maintenance helps demonstrate consistent performance, anticipation of issues, and control over equipment reliability.

Reactive maintenance can result in unexpected failures, extended downtime, lost batches, missed deadlines, higher repair costs, and increased compliance risk.

Planned maintenance helps avoid emergency repairs, reduces financial uncertainty, and supports long term cost savings by extending equipment lifespan and preventing major failures.

Equipment health checks are routine assessments used to verify that bioprocessing equipment is operating within specification and performing reliably to support consistent production.

Health checks should be performed on a regular basis, guided by vendor recommendations, equipment usage, and real time performance data rather than relying only on fixed inspection intervals.
