A Case Study on Recall of used Scopes in the Endoscopy Department by using a Failure Mode & Effect Analysis (FMEA) Proactive Risk Management

Abstract

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is the process of reviewing as many components, assemblies, and subsystems as possible to identify potential failure modes in a system and their causes and effects. The study revealed that the Risk Priority Number (RPN) was initially 450 and it has decreased to 90 after implementing all the actions in FMEA.
