Abstract

Introduction: this article was conducted in the field of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test safety, where it is essential to understand the contribution and impact of risk analysis methods to improve test safety medical diagnosis at the institutional level. In this context, the current study focuses on failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) applied to the Perkin-Elmer/Cetus deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) thermocycler.
Objective: the objective of this study is to provide practitioners with a comprehensive overview of the application of FMEA to improve the operational safety of Perkin-Elmer/Cetus DNA thermocyclers used in medical diagnostics in ataxic patients.
Methods: to carry out this study, a methodology based on an exhaustive review of the scientific literature available in academic databases and relevant sources was used. Previous studies on FMEA analysis of DNA thermocyclers in common and expanded forms were collected and analyzed.
Results: the results obtained demonstrated that FMEA is an effective tool to identify and evaluate possible failure modes of Perkin-Elmer/Cetus DNA thermal cyclers. Several defects were identified and their consequences, causes and classification based on their severity and frequency were determined. Likewise, corrective actions are proposed to reduce the identified risks.
Conclusions: early identification of possible failure modes and implementation of corrective actions can reduce risk and guarantee the quality of the diagnoses carried out and therefore improve operational safety.
