Abstract

To minimize the failure rate of medical devices, the maintenance records for general X-ray, R/F X-ray, mobile X-ray, artificial dialyzer, ventilator, and automatic chemistry analyzer was analysed with regard to the cause of the failure. The parts responsible for the most frequent system failure was then worked intensively during the preventive maintenance. After this procedure, the faliure of the systems in a month decreased from 1.8 on average to 0.3.
