Surgical power tools and surgical saw blades are a short-term but important part of orthopedics and traumatology. The successful use of these devices depends on clear indications, performance and safety outcomes, and validated by clinical evidence. In this blog, we will explore how you can ensure the effective and safe use of medical devices by bringing these three important criteria together.
The first step is to fully understand the indications for surgical power tools and surgical saw blades. These indications determine for which medical conditions or diseases the device is suitable. The indications describe which patients the device can be used on and under which conditions it should be used. Therefore, it is critical to learn and understand the indications so that the surgical power tool and surgical saw blade can be used correctly.
The performance of the surgical power tool and surgical saw blades is important to ensure a smooth and even bone cut. The device must be used correctly in accordance with the performance indications. Therefore, performance measurements and evaluations should be performed regularly. It is ensured that the device is functioning correctly and that maintenance is performed when necessary. It is also important to get feedback from end users (doctors, technicians, healthcare professionals, etc.) about the products and to analyze this feedback and make improvements.
Surgical power tool and surgical saw blade safety is a primary concern for healthcare professionals, patients and manufacturers alike. All necessary safety precautions must be taken to ensure safe use of the device. This includes routine operations such as cleaning, disinfection and maintenance of the device. You should also identify the potential risks of the device and take measures to minimize these risks. You must communicate these measures to users through user manuals, user training and symbols used on the label and product.
Indications, performance and safety requirements and clinical evidence require a series of working steps that support, validate and iterate each other. First, the indications for the device need to be clearly defined, the right patient group or use case selected in accordance with the indications, and then the performance and safety requirements need to be proven and verified to be applicable. If any problems arise in the processes, they must be resolved quickly and the solutions must be embedded in the iterative link between the processes.
This leads to better outcomes and safer healthcare for both healthcare professionals and patients. The cyclical process we have described in this blog is made possible by the healthy functioning of the quality management process within the company, regular training and continuous improvements.
In order to ensure sterility, knowledge of the levels and types of contamination in used surgical instruments is a primary requirement. Sterility is determined by
Product Recall; It is a voluntary withdrawal or recall from the market by the manufacturer of the device for technical and medical reasons, depending on
Stress (tension) is one of two measurable engineering quantities important in understanding the durability or fatigue life of a product. Surgical power tool systems are
Errors resulting from the cleaning process of surgical power tool systems not only pose risks to the patient. Users also have losses. In this article,
Surgical Power Tool Systems are devices that complete their preparation for use by sterilising at 135 degrees due to their area of use and design.
