The presence of critical and non-critical areas together with technological proliferation render the management of medical devices very complex. This study creates an easy and objective methodology for the analysis of medical equipment maintenance, that makes the management of medical devices more feasible. The study has been carried out at Florence Hospital Careggi and it aims to help the clinical engineering department to manage medical equipment by clarifying the hospital situation through a characterization of the different areas, technologies and fault typologies.}, journal = {International Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering}, volume = {2}, number = {8}, year = {2008}, pages = {1604 - 1606}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/13426}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/20}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 20, 2008}, }
