Medical safety issues and prospects for blood purification machines

Functionality and standardization required now

Abstract

The continuous blood purification device used in the intensive care area has achieved remarkable development in safety and operation. However, we have not yet eradicated the medical incidents associated with these devices. In order to prevent such medical accidents, it is important not only to create an environment where medical institutions and manufacturing and retailers cooperate, but it is also important to establish a system for daily inspection so that the original performance of the device can be maintained. This article focuses on the man-machine interface between the operator and the device in the history of blood purification device development in the intensive care area and reevaluates the operability and safety from an ergonomic point of view. And we also present future-oriented functions and prospects required for blood purification devices in next generation.
