Benchmarking failure mode and effects analysis of electronic brachytherapy with data from incident learning systems

Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) is a prospective risk assessment tool for identifying failure modes in equipment or processes and informing the design of quality control systems. This work aims to benchmark the performance of FMEAs for electronic brachytherapy (eBT) of the skin and for breast by comparing predicted versus actual failure modes reported in multiple incident learning systems (ILS).
