Biomedical EngineeringAdvisory GroupGuidancePaperLife span of Biomedical DevicesBackgroundAn indication of the typical age a biomedical device can be expected to be economically useful under normaloperating circumstances can be a valuable tool in asset management and financial planning activities.A table listing biomedical device categories and a typical life span for each category is published by theAmerican Hospitals Association (AHA) and is based on information gathered from the manufacturers of thedevices and from the health care professions represented by AHA.The South Australian Biomedical Engineering Advisory Group uses the AHA publication as a reference indeveloping and maintaining the following list of typical life spans which instead of AHA category names usesthe ECRI Universal Medical Device Nomenclature System of naming device categories as is used by BEAGmember health units. There are differences from the life spans nominated by the AHA to reflect BEAGmember experience in the South Australian environment.Discussion on the use of life span informationThe Life Span estimates provided in this document are a guide only and do not always indicate an age afterwhich biomedical devices should not be used.In some cases the life of a biomedical device may be longer or shorter depending on a number of factors,including the: Frequency of useNature of useEnvironment of useExperience and knowledge of the userCare and attention paid to use and operator maintenanceExistence, capability and cost of maintenance supportStage in product life cycleManagement of scheduled and unscheduled maintenanceAvailability and cost of consumables and spare partsAvailability and cost of replacement devicesRelative efficacy and effectiveness of the alternative methods and devicesBusiness and safety risks associated with continued or discontinued useStrategic and political risks associated with continued or discontinued useCompliance with current codes and standardsTechnological or clinical redundancyFunding availabilityBEAG recommends that a risk management approach is taken when developing a replacement program forBiomedical Devices and that risk factors, including those above, are considered together with the age/lifespan ratio. 2004 Biomedical Engineering Advisory Group SAlast updated March 2004
