“…For example, there is no corresponding maintenance personnel composition, degree requirements and even no maintenance access qualification. Maintenance personnel placement is done most often casually, personnel division of labor is not clear, and the maintenance caters to some surface problems and fails to do finishing repair (Wang, 2014).…”

Purpose Effective maintenance management of medical equipment is one of the major issues for quality of care and cost-effectiveness especially in modern hospitals. An effective medical equipment maintenance management (MEMM) consists of adequate planning, management and implementation. This is essential for providing good health services and saving scarce resources. Considering the importance of the subject, the purpose of this paper is to extract the influential factors on MEMM using a qualitative approach. Design/methodology/approach Documents review and interviews were main methods for data collection. Semi structured interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of 14 clinical engineers with different degree of education and job levels. Interviews were voice recorded and transcribed verbatim. Qualitative data were analyzed using a content analysis approach (inductive and deductive) to identify the underlying themes and sub-themes. Findings Factors influencing an effective and efficient MEMM system categorized in seven themes and 19 sub-themes emerged. The themes included: “resources,” “quality control,” “information bank,” “education,” “service,” “inspection and preventive maintenance” and “design and implementation.” Originality/value The proposed framework provides a basis for a comprehensive and accurate assessment of medical equipment maintenance. The findings of this study could be used to improve the profitability of healthcare facilities and the reliability of medical equipment.

Healthcare and medical equipment sustainability is very important, we need to have an efficient and high performance devices. If such systems or devices are fail every time this will effect patients and the medical system at all. Healthcare equipments like ventilators and other devices nowadays has a good priority and important because of Covid19 which effects all countries now. Since these devices exposed some defects which will effect on its role it is very important to study and analyze such defects, classify them and how to apply CMMS in such maintenance operations. This paper aims to use CMMS in maintenance operations of equipments in healthcare sector. Also a classification of failures of such equipments is generated to be an input for CMMS programs. The second thing is to use Equipment maintenance (EM) number in classifying such devices to be ready for using CMMS. A sample of medical devices are studied and the equipment management number (EM) is calculated here for some selected devices if it reaches some specific value it needs maintenance and CMMS will manage the maintenance operations required. CMMS procedures, transactions and benefits are discussed in this paper. It is found that in the first step we should determine the devices included in inspection and maintenance operations by using EM number, then specifying the maintenance period and inspection frequency after that following some specific steps to manage the maintenance operations followed by CMMS programs. Equipment maintenance (EM) number is very important to determine whether the equipment need maintenance or not, and it also determine the inspection and maintenance duration and so such devices be ready to be used all the time. CMMS can be efficiently used in maintenance operations of healthcare equipments. The use of CMMS software or application is used in processing entered data of devices or systems following the commands step-by-step to construct a CMMS system for each plant or system, this will simplify the monitoring and inspections and maintenance operations which increasing availability of the device and decreasing downtime
