Abstract:Objective To study the feasibility of applying failure mode and effects analysis to maintenance and repair
strategy for medical equipment. Methods In the failure mode and impact analysis meeting with engineers, maintenance
and repair processes for the monitors and failure modes in the procedure of maintenance could involve were discussed,
including resource supply shortages, communication challenges, use errors and lack of physical access to the machine
and so on. Results Solutions were generated: including optimizing spare parts acquisition processes, improving work processes,
hierarchical monitoring, and improving physical access to the machine and so on. One-year follow-up interviews indicated solutions
generated were implemented and perceived to be effective. Conclusion It is demonstrated that it is feasible to apply failuro mode and
impact analysis method in medical equipment maintenance decision.
