QUALITY CONTROL ON ELECTOSURGERY AND ITS EQUIPMENT’S USING FMEA TECHNIQUE FOR HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY
Abstract
Quality plays an inevitable role not only in manufacturing industries but also in healthcare industries (Hospitals), retail business, banking and all service-based jobs. In this paper, factors to improve the quality in healthcare industries are presented. Interface matrices are created and ranking has been given for each factors. Priority is given for Life saving activities in the ranking. Pie chart is created using interface matrices. Minimization of human and technical errors in surgical equipment’s is selected as high priority using Interface matrices. As per Association of periOperative Registered Nurses AORN, Electro surgery generator is considered as high-risk equipment. In this project, Electrosurgery process and its equipment’s are taken for quality control activities in health care industry. Electrosurgery is the application of a high-frequency electric current to biological tissue as a means to cut, coagulate, desiccate, or fulgurate tissue. Electro surgery generator and its processes are studied in detail and the possibilities of errors are found out. Severity, Occurrence, and its impact in patient life for each error are tabulated. Corrective actions are recommended to minimize the errors.
