of a preventive maintenance or repair, and the number
of years beyond the American Hospital Association's

Medical equipment and devices that pose little risk and score
less than 6 points can be deleted from the management
program as well as from the clinical equipment inventory.
Future versions of this application will also consider
''dynamic'' risk factors such as user errors, mean-time-
between failure (MTBF), device failure within 30 days
