Abstract:
Objective:To construct a failure mode and effects analysis(FMEA)evaluation model for medical devices to manage devices,so as to enhance management efficiency for medical devices.Methods:The FMEA was adopted to construct FMEA evaluation model for medical devices,so as to conduct comprehensive lifecycle management for medical devices.The process of management for equipment was optimized,and the operational risk of medical devices was reduced through failure mode(FM)analysis and the construction of management system for equipment.A total of 47 medical devices in clinical use of The First People's Hospital of Neijiang from January to December 2023 were included.In them,23 devices received conventional management mode during January and June 2023,and 24 devices received FMEA evaluation model(model management mode)during July and December 2023.For each group,2,000 patients'medical records were selected.The control effectiveness of infectious indicators,effect of cleaning and disinfection,and quality scores of infectious control for medical devices were compared between different management modes.A self-designed questionnaire was adopted to investigate the recognition scores of engineers who used and managed devices,operators,physicians,and department administrators for two kinds of management modes.Results:In 2,000 patients'medical records,who adopted model management mode,the infection rate of patients,and infection rate of aseptic surgical incision were respectively 0.15%and 0.05%,both were significantly lower than those in the conventional management mode(x2=5.420,8.358,P<0.05).The cleaning rate,and disinfection qualification rate of 24 medical devices,which adopted model management mode,were respectively 83.33%and 87.50%,all of which were significantly higher than these of conventional management mode(x2=8.080,6.741,P<0.05).The scores of standardized operation,rational use,disinfection and cleaning,and emergency intervention for medical devices in adopting model management mode were significantly higher than those in adopting conventional management mode(t=14.435,16.014,13.049,12.537,P<0.05).The recognition scores of engineers who used and managed devices,operators,physicians,and department administrators for adopting model management mode were significantly higher than those for adopting conventional management mode,and the differences were significant(t=12.219,12.147,17.437,13.420,P<0.05).Conclusion:The FMEA evaluation model for medical devices can real-time monitor the entire management process for medical devices,and reduce clinical infections,and ensure normal operation of devices,and improve clinically operational quality of them,and increase satisfaction of staffs in clinical departments.
