Enhancing Patient Safety and Mobility: The Vital Role of PatientTransferring Devices Developed Through Scientific Analysis

Abstract

Abstract: The Patient Transferring Device (PTD) assumes a pivotal role in ensuring optimal safety and seamless patient transfers between critical points, such as the movement to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and other vital treatment and hygiene locations within healthcare facilities. With patient well-being being the utmost priority, a systematic and scientific approach is adopted in the development of PTDs, leveraging sophisticated methodologies like Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). FMEA enables meticulous risk assessment and identification of potential failure points, thereby ensuring the highest standards of safety and efficacy. By employing this rigorous analytical tool during the PTD design process, healthcare providers can mitigate potential hazards and enhance patient care, solidifying the device's critical role in modern healthcare settings. Various PTDs are compared and observed that the "Air Cushion" patient transfer device scored highest overall weightage of 7.8 out of 10, indicating its superior performance across the selected criteria. The analysis results show that the induced maximum stress is 1.5 MPa which is less than the permissible stress and hence the components are within the safe limits as per the analysis.Keywords: Patient Transferring Device, Safety, Safety, FMEA, Risk Priority Number
