Abstract: Medical devices inevitably undergo degradation throughout their life cycle due to continuous use, during which their electrical and mechanical components are subjected to various physical, chemical, thermal, and electrical stressors. These factors contribute to gradual wear, diminished functionality, and an increased risk of malfunction. Timely detection of faults is crucial for ensuring reliable device performance and minimizing unplanned downtime. In this context, the establishment of efficient technological resource management models is essential to maintain the long-term functionality and safety of medical equipment in clinical settings. This study investigates the application of advanced maintenance methodologies, including predictive diagnostics, proactive planning, and timely interventions, aimed at preventing critical failures. The integration of cutting-edge technologies and data management systems enables more accurate fault analysis and enhances the maintenance process. The primary objective of this research is to identify the root causes of device failures, develop effective maintenance strategies, and implement preventive measures that support the continuity of medical procedures, ensure long-term equipment reliability, and reduce potential risks to both patients and healthcare professionals.
