✨ We are pleased to share a new publication in Vol. 8 Issue 1 of the Global Clinical Engineering Journal (GCEJ): Accuracy of Control of Infusion Pumps in the Post-Market: A Practical Approach Based on IEC 60601-2-24:2012

✒️ Authors:
by Diego Rosa, Edison Silva, Miguel Nunes, Danilo Nascimento,
Paulo Zanuzzio and Henrique Takachi Moriya from the University of São Paulo.

📌 Why this study matters:
Infusion pumps are critical in clinical settings—especially in intensive care—where even small deviations in flow rate can significantly impact patient outcomes.

Through a real-world, post-market evaluation aligned with the IEC 60601-2-24:2012 standard, this study reveals that even newly acquired infusion pumps may exhibit clinically relevant deviations in flow accuracy and timing under actual operating conditions. These findings highlight potential gaps that may not be captured through routine acceptance testing alone, particularly when devices are subjected to varying pressure environments.

➡️ This research reinforces a critical message:
A more systematic, evidence-based approach to medical device management and surveillance is necessary to ensure patient safety—especially in high-risk environments such as pediatric intensive care.

🆕 GCEJ | New Research Published in Vol. 7 Issue 4

We are pleased to highlight a newly published Original Research Article in the Global Clinical Engineering Journal (GCEJ) entitled:
“Comparison of the Performance Test of Reusable Patient Circuit and Disposable Patient Circuit of Ventilator”

✒️ Authors: Li Bao, Yunming Shen, Siwei Xiang, Kun Zheng
Affiliation: The Children’s Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China

📌 This study compares the performance of reusable vs. disposable ventilator patient circuits using a ventilator gas flow analyzer. Key findings include:
✅ No significant difference in respiratory rate, tidal volume, and end airway pressure
✅ Slightly higher peak airway pressure in reusable circuits (~0.2 mbar), but clinically negligible
✅ Disposable circuits offer advantages in clinical treatment, including improved humidity control and reduced nursing workload

The findings highlight that while both circuit types maintain ventilator performance, disposable circuits may enhance patient care and clinical efficiency. The study also suggests further evaluation in complex cases, especially in pediatric patients.

Vol. 8 Issue 1 | Clinical Engineering: From Operational Support to Strategic Leadership

❓ How do hospital managers truly perceive the role of clinical engineering?

✏️ In this study from Brazil, Marcello Bonfim, MSc, B.E.E, C.E, M.B.A., and Ana Maria Malik explore insights from 25 hospitals, uncovering how clinical engineering is evolving within real-world healthcare systems.

🔓 The findings are both revealing and forward-looking:
- Clinical engineering is no longer confined to equipment maintenance—it is increasingly embedded in strategic planning, cost management, and investment decisions;
- Hospitals with more structured CE departments, especially those aligned with Health Technology Assessment (HTA) frameworks, demonstrate stronger organizational outcomes;
- Despite variations in structure, a clear trend emerges: clinical engineering is maturing into a strategic pillar of hospital management

🏥 Yet, the study also highlights an important reality—clinical engineering is still often perceived as an operational function. Bridging this gap may be key to unlocking its full potential.

✨ As healthcare systems grow more complex, this research reinforces a critical message: Clinical engineering is not just supporting care—it is shaping the future of it.
