Introduction: The increasing incidence of problems related to medical care equipment – infusion pumps. Objective: To make a situational diagnosis regarding the preventive maintenance of peristaltic volumetric infusion pumps. Method: Descriptive, quantitative research, conducted in a federal hospital in the city of Rio de Janeiro from April to June 2017. Results: 371 peristaltic volumetric infusion pumps of two different brands.Regarding the record of the last preventive maintenance identified, less than 10.0% of the equipment studied had maintenance on the day, 54.5% (n = 202) had a record of expired preventive maintenance, 5.9% (n = 22) had an unreadable record of preventive maintenance and 29.9% (n = 111) had no record of preventive maintenance. Conclusions: This situational diagnosis revealed an outdated technology park, with a significant lag in relation to the validity of preventive maintenance of peristaltic volumetric infusion pumps. The improvement actions began with the updating of the patrimony data referring to the quantity of peristaltic volumetric infusion pumps of the hospital. Subsequently, equipment with expired, ineligible and absent preventive maintenance was gradually collected for replacement. Finally, a monitoring of the conditions of the peristaltic volumetric infusion pumps was initiated so that there is a continuous control of the conditions of this equipment.
