Abstract:
The safety and reliability of medical equipment is mandatory. Equipment may be used on the patients who
are unconscious. Other types of medical equipment function as life support and their failure may result in
the patient's death when the machine is in use. The maintenance program developed in the research
determined the possible remedies for the respective faults and the personnel to rectify the problems. The
system was developed to enable the existing facility maintenance managers in major hospitals in Kenya to
improve on their maintenance management of the medical equipment. The equipment is initially identified
in its category by the program and guides the user to identify the causes of the medical equipment faults
and the possible personnel to handle the fault in the equipment. The system would enable the hospitals
achieve optimum utilization of hospital equipment and improve the management of medical equipment
through a proper time management.
