Abstract
Medical equipment is an increasingly important element in modern medicine and medical and hospital care. For medical equipment to contribute effectively and productively to health organizations, it is necessary to carry out the management of their life cycle. A decisive factor in this life cycle is to know when a piece of equipment must be replaced. It is observed that defined and clear methods must be in place to assist the clinical engineering and hospital management in deciding and prioritizing which medical equipment needs to be replaced and when. This work has a practical application in the management of the medical equipment inventory. As a result, the classification of medical equipment and the prioritiza-tion of substitution is obtained concerning variety, quantity, and cost of the equipment to be replaced. The application of this method may contribute to the increased quality of the installed equipment and effective budget planning for hospital investments.
