Applying a Refined Approach to Cybersecurity Risk Assessments to the GE MAC VU360
An effective medical device cybersecurity management plan is built upon having an effective and thorough risk management process. Protecting medical devices and the information they store begins by understanding the potential risks that may affect the device and the impact those risks may have on patient safety, treatment care delivery, and the organization's business objectives. Risks to medical devices must be identified, analyzed, evaluated, controlled, and then monitored so that the devices are secure and reside in a protected environment. The first 3 of these risk management elements comprise what is known as a risk a...

Evidence-Based Introduction of Large-Scale Medical Technology Into Healthcare Through Test of Chance and Proof of Concept: A Case Study of Integrated Monitoring in NHS Tayside
Traditional or “off the shelf” or “out of box” method of acquisition of medical devices and technology is currently being challenged by clinical users. As hardware, connectivity, and Health information systems (HISs) are becoming the key enablers of delivery of integrated patient monitoring; there is an increasing requirement for a coproductive approach to the choice and implementation of patient monitoring systems. The complexity of the clinical environment requires a collaboration of many stakeholders with a common focus and shared goals to ensure the correct choices and outcomes are delivered to satisfy requirem...

Design of Prosthetic Arm Based on Myoelectric Control
Absence of an upper limb leads to severe impairments in everyday life, which can further influence the social and mental state. For these reasons, early developments in cosmetic and body-driven prostheses date some centuries ago, and they have been evolving ever since. Following the end of World War II, rapid developments in technology resulted in powered myoelectric hand prosthetics. A design of prosthetic arm based on myoelectric was created. The design incorporates movement of arm in flexion and extension. The signal was acquired from biceps above the elbow joint using Ag-AgCl electrode. The proposed design contains sig...

Reducing Cost Variance and Increasing Quality Across Medical Device Maintenance Purchasing
Hospitals often order parts and repairs from multiple vendors selected by their healthcare technology managers, resulting in differences in quality and multiple prices for the same item or service. Online marketplace solutions that allow health systems to implement evidence-based purchasing can increase quality and produce significant savings. (Source: Journal of Clinical Engineering)

Investigation of Sterilizers Causing Wet Loads Through Root Cause Analysis
Belimed Incorporated sterilizers are used in the sterile processing department (SPD) to decontaminate operating room instruments and tools used during surgery. There are 3 phases to the sterilization process: conditioning, exposure, and the exhaust phases. During the conditioning phase, air is removed from the chamber using a vacuum system; otherwise, it would inhibit steam contact with the instruments being cleaned. Steam is then released to fill the space in the chamber during the exposure phase, increasing the pressure and temperature inside to a desired level. This sterilizes the items inside over a fixed period based ...
