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.
