Customized medical equipment preventative maintenance method and system

A system for determining a service interval for a device comprising:

• a computer;
• and
• a device connected to the computer through a network, wherein the system is configured to collect one or more data points regarding the device, compare the one or more data points to at least one associated reliability curve for a population of similar devices, calculate a service interval for the device based at least upon the comparison of the one or more data points and the reliability curve, output the service interval, and select an optimal service date based at least in part on the service interval.

A system for determining a service interval from a plurality of service intervals comprising:

• a computer;
• and
• a device connected to the computer through a network, wherein the system is configured to collect one or more data points regarding the device from a plurality of data sources, calculate a service interval for each data source by at least comparing the one or more data points from the data sources and at least one associated reliability curve, and select an optimal service interval from the plurality of service intervals.

A system for determining service intervals for a plurality of devices comprising:
