Desarrollo de un plan para mantenimiento preventivo y correctivo de los dispositivos biomédicos en la Clínica Buenos Aires de la ciudad de Valledupar.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to construct a maintenance plan addressing the biomedical devices used by Buenos Aires S.A.S Clinic located in Valledupar.The reason why preventive maintenance is implemented is to decrease the time between device failures, reducing the need for emergency maintenance.This causes the essential devices used in medical procedures to pause, inducing long wait times of the user's attention of this institution. The procedure consists of developing a maintenance plan in which the list of equipment used in every area of the Buenos Aires clinic is specified, and describe the most relevant characteristics of each device; similarly, a schedule will be designed to organize the respective maintenance dates by areas. As mentioned before, the maintenance plan aims to guarantee the reliability of the equipment and operational safety. This plan gathers the chronological and operating specifications of each device, in effect it will conduct the procedures to look for a better way to plan, execute, and evaluate the preventive maintenance such as the physical inspection, device calibration, internal and external cleaning, replacement of worn parts and electronic verification. Taking into account the previous considerations, the maintenance plan is an information source about the current state of biomedical devices used in every area of the clinic, and also about the procedures that must be followed for correct and effective maintenance.
