	%X management of medical devices in hospitals includes
the planning of medical equipment acquisition and maintenance. 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.
