"equipos dedicados" refers to equipment that is designed for a special purpose, as opposed to multi-purpose:
Spiroflow designs and manufactures special purpose equipment for ...
http://www.spiroflow.com/files/file/brochures/BBF UK brocha....
We have also created special purpose equipment as well as modified standard units for mixing, roll compaction, granulation, drying and pulverizing

Since the list is about machine maintenance, I would stand by my "control of parts" bit (I see no reason why they should be spare parts or stock control ) but having investigated further I would change "special-purpose" to "dedicated equipment"
"Dedicated equipment should be used where possible when handling and/or processing pharmaceutical starting materials"
http://apps.who.int/medicinedocs/es/d/Js4899e/16.9.html
Another interesting point is that the title should clearly convey the content of the SOP as explained here:
"The title should be descriptive. The title should use directive language to declare what is being done to what. A SOP titled “Compression Machine” is not descriptive of the procedure’s content. A more appropriate title would be “OPERATION OF COMPRESSION MACHINE”.

So my final suggestion is:
"Control of Parts in Dedicated Equipment"

Discussion
In your list, does this SOP title come in a section that refers to machine calibration, qualification, etc. or does it come within a group of SOPs that refer to quality control of the product itself?
