FAILURE ANALYSIS
We have expertise in troubleshooting to the root cause of failure for electro-mechanical medical devices. We specialize in troubleshooting electronic circuits, device software and powered surgical equipment.
Root cause failure analysis includes:
-
Defining the performance problem
-
Collecting data to provide history and identify patterns
-
Analyzing the data to determine cause and effects, differences and changes, risks, time line, etc.
-
Testing possible causes against the evidence gathered
-
Identifying the root cause or causes of the problem.
We provide a report of the investigation process and a recommendation for corrective action to eliminate or reduce the chance of future failures. If a design change is needed and it is desired, we can implement a new design and validate its effectiveness.
