Device complications can occur due to several factors:
- Improper Use: Lack of proper training or failure to follow manufacturer guidelines can result in device misuse. - Poor Maintenance: Regular maintenance and inspection are crucial for device functionality. Neglect can lead to mechanical failure. - Patient Factors: Individual patient conditions, such as compromised immune systems or pre-existing skin conditions, can increase the risk of complications. - Environmental Factors: Hospital environments can sometimes contribute to complications, especially in terms of hygiene and sanitation.
