Abstract:
Objective To investigate the transfusion and infusion warmer manufacturers, combine the use failure to analyze adverse events, and provide support for enterprise risk management and clinical safe use.
Methods The sentinels of 7 manufacturing enterprises and 11 medical institutions participated in the "14th Five-Year Plan" key monitoring of Shandong Province were used as the targets to understand the equipment principle, structure and quality control, and real-world data from January 2019 to December 2023 were collected to count adverse events.
Results During production, there are risks in switching power supply stability and solder joint firmness. 15 kinds of faults occurred during use, and common faults such as inability to heat, unable to turn on the machine, and bubbles in the infusion tube accounted for more than 80%.
Conclusion There are many risk points and failures for transfusion and infusion warmers. Enterprises should improve processes and quality control based on risks. Medical institutions should formulate specifications and maintenance plans to provide targeted theoretical basis for supervision.
