RIOS CUARTAS, I; GALEANO UPEGUI, B  and  MORA N, Escobar. TECHNOLOGICAL SURVEILLANCE FOR THE USE OF RISK ASSESSMENT CRITERIA USED TO MANAGE BIOMEDICAL EQUIPMENT. Rev. ing. biomed. [online]. 2017, vol.11, n.21, pp.65-72. ISSN 1909-9762.

This article presents a technological surveillance proposal for risk assessment criteria used to manage biomedical equipment. We present the search equations, along with their respective results and the analysis according to the equation with which the most relevant results were found. The analysis presented corresponds to the dynamics of publications in time, means of publication, related authors, prominent institutions, highlighted countries, document types and thematic areas, in order to identify particular authors, countries, institutions and publishing media leaders on the subject. In the results section, the articles of the main means of publication are analyzed per the pertinence of approaches, according to the regulatory framework, and the patient and medical devices that they offer. From the analysis of results, we obtained conclusive information that enabled us to observe the importance of the generation of norms regulating medical devices during their life cycle, supported by risk management, as well as, the convenience of conducting evidence-based risk analysis.

Keywords : Assessment criteria; biomedical equipment management; risk management.
