Several factors can contribute to equipment becoming faulty:
Manufacturing Defects: Errors during production can lead to defects that make the equipment unreliable. Wear and Tear: Over time, even high-quality equipment can degrade due to regular use. Improper Maintenance: Failing to follow maintenance schedules or using inadequate maintenance procedures can cause equipment to malfunction. User Error: Incorrect use of equipment by nursing staff due to inadequate training or oversight.
