Abstract: Medical devices suffer from malfunctions and sudden stops during work. Device malfunctions in general have become increasing, especially after the policy of factories producing these devices has become to rely not on the selling price of this device, but rather on the price of spare materials. Limits can be set for sudden malfunctions using a genetic algorithm to improve reliability. devices, increasing the value of the reliability function of the devices under study, and reducing the total maintenance costs, which in turn contributes to prolonging the life of the beneficiary. The exponential distribution was relied upon to build the reliability system, and it was considered that vacation and operating times are distributed according to the exponential distribution. Data related to the devices in the research sample, which numbered four devices, were analyzed to calculate the reliability of these devices during the period of field living, and then a preventive maintenance plan was designed for each device. The reliability of the exponential distribution of the system was estimated based on the genetic algorithm method, being the best estimation method.
