Lack of Maintenance: Regular maintenance and servicing are crucial for ensuring that medical devices work properly. Equipment that is not routinely checked may develop faults. Aging Equipment: Over time, medical devices wear out and become more prone to failure. Older equipment may not receive updates or repairs, increasing the risk of malfunction. User Error: Incorrect use of medical equipment due to inadequate training or oversight can lead to failure. Proper user training is essential to avoid such errors. Software Glitches: Medical devices with embedded software can experience glitches or bugs, leading to incorrect readings or functions. Manufacturing Defects: Occasionally, equipment may have inherent design flaws or manufacturing defects that cause failure.
