A computerized medical equipment management system is a useful tool in keeping track of the device inventory and maintenance history. Any medical equipment management software should track basic device information. At a minimum, the device type, manufacturer, model, and serial number should be tracked. This information is essential to the maintenance program. The clinical use of a device should be documented. Equipment used for life support needs to be given a higher priority for maintenance. Additionally,
regulations on life support devices may be different. For example, in the United States, equipment used for life support to have a 100 % completion rate for scheduled
maintenance. Our software developed in Visual FoxPro respect all these conditions above.
