-tests, ANOVA, and correlation analysis) were conducted to identify differences and associations in calibration knowledge and practices.ResultsAnalyses revealed significant knowledge gaps. Technicians/clinical engineers outperformed other groups, while early-career professionals (1-3 years' experience) scored higher than mid-career counterparts (7-10 years), highlighting shortcomings in continuous professional development. Formal training was also associated with higher scores.ConclusionThese findings highlight the urgent need for structured, role-specific training and ongoing professional education to close calibration knowledge gaps, safeguard patient safety, and optimise device performance. The results provide evidence for policy reforms and workforce development strategies to strengthen medical device management and healthcare quality.
