The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at every hospital requires sophisticated medical equipment to treat critically ill patients. It is a separate area within a medical facility to treat life threatening conditions.
High-tech specialised facilities are used for monitoring and intervention. The multidisciplinary and comprehensive approach requires coordinated care of patients by a team of healthcare professionals.
The Complexities Involved:
Across all medical specialities, there are complications that are faced by patients on a day to day basis, in the ICU. Therefore, for every minor dysfunction, there is a need for equipment to conduct critical procedures. Here are the following steps to navigate through the manufacturing process:
- Design and Engineering-
The initial steps of any medical equipment encompasses the design and engineering phase. Here concepts and specifications are developed to meet the specific requirements of critical care.
- Material Selection-
Selecting the suitable material is a crucial step, as they determine the safety, durability and resistance to contamination of the equipment.
- Manufacturing Processes-
According to the design and needs of the equipment, various manufacturing processes are employed for their production. This may include Injection Moulding, Sheet Metal Fabrication, CNC Machining, 3D Printing and precision machining techniques.
- Regulatory Compliances-
The manufacturing processes are conducted under strict quality control. Complying to the regulatory requirements of the FDA and ISO are a must.
- Quality Testing-
Rigorous quality testing procedures are conducted regularly to meet the required specifications. This includes evaluation of the functionalities, performance and reliability.
- Development of Connectivity and Software-
Software algorithms play a significant role in the technical aspects of ICU equipment manufacturing. As data management, monitoring and communication play an integral role, development of softwares and connectivity are a necessity.
- Conduct Equipment Calibration-
Inorder to maintain consistency and accuracy of measurement, calibration of ICU equipments is a necessity. This checks whether the equipment is performing accurately, overtime.
- Carry out continuous research for improvement-
Gathering feedback from users is an important aspect for manufacturers across the globe. This feedback leads to progressive research, bringing about improvements in technology.
