CORREA, M.; VILLALBA, M. P. y GARCIA, J. H.. PROTOCOLS FOR PERFORMANCE EVALUATION IN MEDICAL EQUIPMENT. Rev. ing. biomed. [online]. 2017, vol.11, n.22, pp.65-71. ISSN 1909-9762. https://doi.org/10.24050/19099762.n22.2017.1185.
Healthcare service providers must count on the availability of quality control for their medical equipment which will assure total reliability in its operation, as well as results, thus complying with technical specifications and standards. Within this study, a medical equipment evaluation protocol is developed to quantify said equipment performance. In this context, performance tests in biomedical equipment assess the performance, operation, and compliance of biomedical equipment specifications to provide reliable information on its performance. This paper develops a protocol of evaluation for medical equipment that enables the quantification of its performance. To achieve this, it takes into account the general information of the equipment, its condition, as well as, manufacturer recommendations, among others, obtaining a protocol that can be applied to different types of equipment and that provides reliable and objective information, in terms of all the aspects that involve its operation.
