Abstract：Objective To explore the effect of application of healthy failure mode and effect analysis (HFMEA)in instrument recycling management of the supply room.Method The management group for recycling of instruments was established according to the HFMEA management method.Risks existing in recycling of instruments were analyzed.Failure modes and corresponding causes were clarified.And targeted measures were developed regarding the main failure factors.The changes of the risk priority number (RPN)of all failure modes and occurrence rate of adverse events were compared before and after the HFMEA implementation.Results After the implementation of HFMEA,the RPNs of all failure modes were significantly lower than those before the intervention (P <0.05).The occurrence rate of instrument injury among recycling staff. Discrepancy rate of physical inventory,error rate of recycling records and unqualified rate regarding preliminary cleaning of relevant departments after implementation were all significantly lower than those before implementation (P <0.05).Conclusion Timely detection of failure modes in recycling of instruments from the supply room could be achieved using the HFMEA management method, which could effectively decrease the effect brought by failure modes and promote the quality of clinical service .
