Abstract
BACKGROUND: Proper maintenance of electro-medical devices is crucial for the quality of care to patients and the economic performance of healthcare organizations. This research aims to identify the interaction between Ultrasound scanners (US) maintenance variables as a function of maintenance indicators: US in service or decommissioned, excessive number of failures, and failure rate. Knowing those interactions, specific maintenance measures will be developed to improve the reliability of the US.
