FMECA and Failure Data Analysis of Domestic Wheeled Walking-Aid

The gradual acceleration of the aging population in China has led to an increased demand for mobility aids, and the reliability of domestic wheeled walking-aid is one of their important attributes, but there is little research on the reliability of mobility aids. This paper conducts the failure mode, effects and criticality analysis on domestic wheeled walking-aid. By collecting, collating and analyzing the 26 failure modes, the key modules are the chassis and the lifting system. The key modules are obtained, and the failure data is analyzed to find out that the lifetime distribution model is log-normal and the 0.95 lower confidence limit for reliability life of product is 2489.4 hours. The study aims to provide ideas for the reliability analysis of other active medical devices and calls for the formation of a reliability study review point for the industry that meets the requirements of Chinese medical device regulations.
