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.
