  • The number of joint disease patients is increasing every year. Currently, the most CPM(Continuous Passive Motion) equipment uses expensive imported equipment, and one CPM equipment is designed to be used only in one joint, medical personnel or hospitals who are the main users of the medical equipment need to have several types of CPMs for joint rehabilitation. To solve this problem, this paper designed a multifunctional joint medical equipment that enables rehabilitation of knee, shoulder, and elbow joints in one CPM equipment and includes general, intensive, and adaptive exercise functions for effective treatment according to the patient's condition. The patient's condition was diagnosed using a load cell and a current sensor. In this paper, effective rehabilitation methods were presented and high reliability and precision of medical equipment was confirmed through experiments using potentiometer, encoder, and PI controller.

  • Medical laser equipment using optical energy is used to surgery and treat diseases by destroying and removing tissue. Domestic laser equipment has been used steadily in the skin and cosmetics sectors and has been changed to radiate high-power energy in a wide range to shorten patient treatment time. However, side effects such as burns and damage of normal tissues occurred. To solve this problem, techniques for detecting lesions using an imaging device and selectively radiating the laser have been developed. In this study, we proposed an evaluation method to evaluate the safety and performance of target detection accuracy, laser irradiation accuracy and motion protection device technology derived from product analysis and investigation. Finally, the validity of the evaluation method was evaluated by evaluating the imaging device based laser equipment as the proposed evaluation method.

  • Used medical equipment utilized in medical technology, most are not human or environmental risks likely to in normal medical technology. Therefore, the risk is close to zero so that medical devices are classified into Class 1 medical device, such as little or no risk by treating. It can be minimized without arising unnecessary and waste of time. As handlers in the medical device vendors are expanding the area of the business, we can uplift operators' commitment to the business and for the people's choice. In this paper, our research are presented to improve the legal and regulatory directions for the distribution of used medical devicesin in order to establish and promote a fair deal of diversity.

  • In medically vulnerable areas in Korea, public health doctors play a significant role in providing not only general medical care but also emergency medical services to the local residents. However, it has been observed that public health doctors generally lack field experience, resulting in insufficient ability to handle emergency patients and to effectively use medical equipment. This study confirmed the effectiveness of education after conducting remote education using smart glasses on how to use medical equipment necessary for public health doctors. Specifically, real wear was used for smart glasses for medical equipment utilization education, and 10 public health officials in 10 islands in Shinan-gun were targeted. After the training, both the effect of using the equipment and the level of satisfaction were 3 or higher. Therefore, it was confirmed that remote education using smart glasses can be usefully used for public health doctors in medically vulnerable areas.

  • In this paper, we review the effects of RF interference of medical equipment or other electric equipment which can emit radio frequency in the general hospitals environments which are in many cases being under the influence of various electromagnetic field. Using spectrum analysis method we found some devices could effect on the frequency of telemetry system. We also investigate the relationship between intensity of the signal and distance for the selected equipment used in hospitals.

  • This study was carried out to analyze the present condition of high-price medical technologies in South Korea and to compare it with OECD countries. This study included 10 high-price medical equipments and used medical equipment registry data of Health Insurance Review Agency. The major findings of this study are as follows; Firstly, The number and growth of high-price medical equipments in South Korea is much higher than those in other OECD countries. There are many of high-price medical equipments even in clinics. Secondly, the percentage of old poor-quality medical equipments is very high, especially in clinics. This is because of high-price of medical equipments. The results of this study implicated that there is high possibility of inappropriate use of high-price medical technologies. This may result in the increase of health expenditure; therefore, there should be a kind of regulation policy to control amount and quality of medical equipment.
