Abstract :

 Introduction: The failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) is one of the tools that can be used for performing HIRA on processes involving medical equipment.. FMEA is a process improvement methodology.

The goals of FMEA are as follows:

·        To identify the failure modes involved in the process involving medical equipment.

·        Establish the risk & consequences of these failure modes

·        Identify and implement mitigation strategies for the effect.

·        Access the success of mitigation strategies.

·        Implement the modifications to the hospital as appropriate.

Method: Observation study of failure modes.

Results: Total Risk priority number calculated during 4 major steps of process is 63.

Conclusion: A continuous FMEA study of the process can reduce the machine downtime drastically.
