Abstract

The technical status of the medical equipment is a criterion used to define its replacement. In this paper we present two indicators to evaluate the technical status of the medical equipment developed in two National Health Institutes from Mexico. The objective was to do a comparative analysis between both indicators based on the evaluation of a sample of 28 medical equipment located in critical care areas of one of the Institutes. The results showed that there is a direct relationship between both indicators and the technical status is a direct criterion for providing useful information to plan the replacement of medical equipment.
