The measure of field service is first-visit resolution. A second trip for a part that could have been anticipated is downtime the facility pays for twice.
Every visit produces documentation an inspector can read without a translator: what was done, to what standard, by whom, and when it is next due.
Field service means the technician comes to the equipment, which is the right model for devices that cannot leave the department without cancelling a day's work. It puts a premium on arriving prepared.

Work is performed to manufacturer specification and the applicable regulatory standard, and the record says which one was applied.
Technicians are qualified for the equipment they touch, and the qualification is on file rather than asserted.
