Biomedical Solutions: Equipment and Management

September 23, 2026

16 min read

Managing medical equipment involves more than having the devices you need. Healthcare organizations also have to consider maintenance, repair, equipment availability, utilization and how needs may change over time.

McKesson Biomedical Solutions™ is a dedicated offering from McKesson Medical-Surgical that brings biomedical equipment sales, medical device rental, equipment service and device management together. These biomedical solutions support infusion devices, enteral feeding equipment and ventilators, helping organizations manage medical equipment throughout its lifecycle.

Whether you are evaluating new equipment, planning for changing demand or looking for greater visibility into the medical devices you already have, a more centralized approach can support efficiency and simplify medical equipment planning.

What is McKesson Biomedical Solutions?

McKesson Biomedical Solutions provides lifecycle support for biomedical equipment through a combination of medical equipment, services and technology.

Healthcare organizations can turn to McKesson for:

• Biomedical equipment sales

• Medical device rental
• Equipment maintenance and repair
• Biomedical equipment management
• Equipment tracking and service information

McKesson Biomedical Solutions is powered by OneTrack®, a web-based equipment management platform that brings service, rental and equipment information into one place. McKesson also has a dedicated biomed quality assurance team and trained technicians to support equipment service needs.

What services does McKesson Biomedical Solutions offer?

Medical equipment requirements can vary based on the care setting, patient demand and existing inventory. McKesson Biomedical Solutions combines several services to help healthcare organizations address those needs.

Biomedical equipment sales

McKesson provides access to medical equipment across infusion, enteral and ventilator categories. A dedicated sales team can help organizations identify appropriate equipment based on their needs, including when replacing devices, expanding inventory or planning future requirements.

Medical device rental

Purchasing equipment isn’t appropriate for every situation. Medical device rental provides another way to access equipment during periods of changing patient demand, product recalls or temporary equipment needs.

Rentals can also provide an alternative to capital investment expenditures while helping organizations maintain access to medical equipment such as ventilators and infusion pumps.

Equipment service and preventive maintenance

Ongoing maintenance is an important part of biomedical equipment management and can support the availability of medical devices used in patient care. McKesson provides equipment service, including preventive maintenance and repair, supported by trained technicians.

Organizations can also use OneTrack to manage equipment service needs. Taking a more centralized approach to medical device maintenance best practices can help make servicing a large or distributed equipment inventory easier to manage.

Infusion, enteral and ventilator device management

McKesson Biomedical Solutions supports infusion pumps, enteral feeding equipment and ventilators across the equipment lifecycle. Combining equipment access with maintenance, repair and device management can help organizations keep important equipment information together and support equipment availability.

How biomedical equipment management supports operational efficiency

As a medical equipment inventory grows, teams may need to know where equipment is located, its service status and how available inventory is being utilized.

Biomedical asset tracking

OneTrack provides biomedical asset-tracking capabilities designed to help organizations manage equipment and device locations. Greater equipment visibility can help teams more easily locate devices and understand how existing inventory is being used.

That information may also help organizations identify opportunities to make better use of existing medical equipment before purchasing or renting additional devices.

Real-time equipment visibility

Centralized equipment data can give healthcare organizations greater insight into their biomedical inventory. OneTrack provides access to equipment tracking, maintenance information, analytics, reports and insights through a digital platform.

This centralized approach can help teams access equipment management information and documentation without relying on separate processes for different equipment needs.

Supporting better equipment decisions

Understanding equipment location, utilization and maintenance needs can support planning, helping organizations make more informed decisions about purchasing, medical device rental and repair.

For home medical equipment providers in particular, centralized equipment management can help support HME efficiency and financial performance.

Supporting healthcare organizations across care settings

Medical equipment needs can look different from one healthcare setting to another. McKesson Medical-Surgical serves healthcare organizations across a range of settings, with medical and laboratory equipment available to support different applications.

McKesson’s broader laboratory equipment portfolio includes equipment for a range of clinical applications. Depending on the healthcare setting and application, laboratory equipment needs may include:

• Biosafety cabinets and water purification systems
• Electrophoresis systems and environmental chambers
• Laboratory refrigerators and portable medical refrigerators
• pH meters and laboratory ovens
• Laboratory glassware washers and laboratory steam sterilizers
• Cold traps
• Laboratory mixers, baths and benchtop shakers

Depending on the facility, equipment needs may also include vaccine storage refrigerators, environmental testing chambers, laboratory storage furniture, fixed casework systems and laboratory seating. Liquid nitrogen and related storage accessories may be used for certain laboratory storage and preservation applications.

These different requirements illustrate why equipment planning and management can vary across health care environments. Ambulatory surgery centers, for example, have specific considerations around improving surgical inventory management, while laboratories have different considerations around laboratory equipment and its impact on healthcare.

For organizations using infusion devices, enteral feeding equipment or ventilators, McKesson Biomedical Solutions provides equipment sales, rental, maintenance and management capabilities.
