Medical Devices 2011 - Preventing Device Maintenance Related Recalls

This 90-minute training on Maintenance Related Device Recalls will show how to analyze maintenance risks, eliminate high risk maintenance, and design the device for ease of maintenance using Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) strategies.

There have been many medical device recalls related to maintenance issues. MRIs, CT Scans, Diagnostic devices, Laboratory equipment, and surgical instruments are few examples. The recalls are a result of poorly designed maintenance procedures, inadequate calibration cycles, inaccurate calibration, and lack of analysis.

This 90-minute webinar will show how you can design the right kind of preventive maintenance for medical devices. We will discuss how you can analyze maintenance risks, eliminate high risk maintenance, and design your device for ease of maintenance. It teaches the best known strategy for maintenance called Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) used widely in aerospace, chemical, and nuclear industry, but usually overlooked for medical devices. This course is especially important to design engineers who decide the maintenance protocols and service personnel who know the voice of the customer.
