Background and Objectives
Equipment maintenance management in healthcare centers is critical to enhancing medical device performance, ensuring user safety and preventing risks and harm to both patients and staff. This review study aimed to evaluate the effects, efficiency and safety of medical equipment in healthcare centers over the period from 2000 to 2025.
Materials and Methods
For this review, relevant data was retrieved by searching multiple electronic databases, including Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, IEEE Xplore, Emerald, Springer, Medline and Dimensions from 2000 to 2025. A total of 88 original articles focusing on hospital equipment maintenance criteria, medical equipment maintenance management and preventive maintenance management were selected. From these, five key areas were assessed: maintenance model, performance quality, device safety, periodic inspections and user training.
Results
In this study, a systematic review of 88 reports revealed that establishing an equipment maintenance management system in medical centers yields significant benefits. Specifically, the system substantially improves the quality of device performance, ensures operational safety and enhances user experience and awareness, along with consistent and continuous periodic inspections conducted in alignment with defined standards and guidelines.
Conclusions  
Establishing an equipment maintenance management system in healthcare centers proves highly effective in several key areas: increasing equipment availability, ensuring the quality of device performance, enabling continuous and planned periodic inspections, raising user awareness of risk factors.
