A prototype medical device and protocol that work well in a clinic would not necessarily work reliably in the home setting. The goal of this work is to identify factors to consider when translating a device evaluated in a clinic for use by home caregivers providing chronic wound care for persons living with dementia. One must consider the current device, the associated bundle, the protocol and how they may need to be modified. Semi-structured interviews with the research assistants who have applied a prototype device were conducted to generate a list of known issues with the current clinical protocol in terms of ultrasound application The researchers performed a set of specified tasks by following the current device protocol and explaining any difficulties with use\execution. They embellished the descriptions with details about what had happened with actual patients in the clinic. Using thematic analysis, analysts identified themes and subthemes. Issues potentially relevant to translating medical devices to the home are discussed.

The Cost

The present paper considers the tribological principles on the maintenance of machinery whose three important areas are – Preventive, Condition Based and Proactive. Although breakdown is kept out of view, the morphology and analysis of failure provide important inputs for maintenance strategies. Condition based maintenance depends on three D’s – Detection, Diagnosis and Decision. In many machinery systems, the problem of predicting the remaining useful life – the Proactive part of the program, and evaluating the cost benefits are of enormous importance. Here the authors endeavor to highlight how the tribologist can significantly improve the maintenance practice.
