Risk control with reference to medical equipment

Abstract

Potential risks of using medical equipment in medical institutions have been analyzed. Three fields of risk are singled out: personal (patients, users and the third persons exposed); associated with devices (affecting a medical product from outside, characteristic of a medical product, coming from a medical product); production and economic (expenses for purchase and use). The regulations on risk control have been formulated, based upon adherence to law principles, education of users, insurance, refinancing and operating. Specific recommendations on risk management for specialists are given.
