Abstract

A database stores a parts list, a tools and materials list, a repair information list, and an equipment list. The parts list and the tools and materials list are associated with regulation information, which indicates that the parts, the tools, and the materials are subject to a regulation, and updated every time a new regulation is imposed. The repair information list is associated with an indicator which indicates whether a repair is compliant with the regulation, and updated every time a repair is performed. The equipment list is associated with an indicator which indicates whether equipment is compliant with the regulation, and updated every time one of the parts list, the tools and materials list, and the repair information list is updated. Those which are not compliant with the regulation are extracted from each list stored in the database, and displayed on a regulatory compliance check screen.

Claims

1. A repair information management apparatus for managing repair information of medical equipment, comprising:

an operation screen distributor for distributing operation screens to a plurality of terminals through a network, the repair information being inputted through and displayed on the operation screen; and

a database for storing regulation information related to a regulation on the medical equipment or each part constituting the medical equipment, the regulation information being stored in the database for the purpose of displaying whether the medical equipment or the part constituting the medical equipment is a compliant product that is compliant with the regulation or a non-compliant product that is not compliant with the regulation on the operation screen.

2. The repair information management apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising an operation screen generator for generating the operation screen, the operation screen generator generating the operation screen based on the regulation information, the operation screen displaying whether the equipment or the part constituting the equipment is the compliant product or the non-compliant product.

3. The repair information management apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the operation screen generator generates the operation screen in which additional information is added to the medical equipment or the part constituting the medical equipment displayed, and the additional information indicates whether the medical equipment or the part constituting the medical equipment is the compliant product or the non-compliant product.

4. The repair information management apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the operation screen generator determines, based on the regulation information, whether to display the medical equipment or the part constituting the medical equipment on the operation screen, and generates the operation screen.

5. The repair information management apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the regulation information stored in the database includes regulation information related to the regulation on tools and materials used for a repair of the medical equipment, in addition to the regulation information related to the regulation on the medical equipment or the each part constituting the medical equipment.

6. The repair information management apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the operation screens include a parts selection screen for displaying selectable parts for a repair of the medical equipment and allowing selecting the part to be used for the repair from the selectable parts.

7. The repair information management apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the operation screens include a parts list display screen for displaying a list of the parts constituting the medical equipment.

8. The repair information management apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the operation screens include a medical equipment list display screen for displaying a list of the medical equipment.

9. The repair information management apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the operation screens include a repair history display screen for displaying a repair history.

10. The repair information management apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the operation screens include a time-series compliance check screen for chronologically displaying, for the medical equipment or the part constituting the medical equipment, whether the medical equipment or the part constituting the medical equipment is the compliant product or the non-compliant product.

11. A repair information management system for managing repair information of medical equipment, comprising:

a plurality of terminals; and

a repair information management apparatus comprising an operation screen distributor and a database, the operation screen distributor distributing operation screens to the terminals through a network, the repair information being inputted through and displayed on the operation screen, the database storing regulation information related to a regulation on the medical equipment or each part constituting the medical equipment, the regulation information being stored in the database for the purpose of displaying whether the medical equipment or the part constituting the medical equipment is a compliant product that is compliant with the regulation or a non-compliant product that is not compliant with the regulation on the operation screen.

12. A method for managing repair information of medical equipment, comprising the steps of:

distributing operation screens to a plurality of terminals through a network, the repair information being inputted through and displayed on the operation screen;

consulting a database which stores regulation information related to a regulation and determining whether the medical equipment or a part constituting the medical equipment is a compliant product that is compliant with the regulation or a non-compliant product that is not compliant with the regulation; and

displaying whether the medical equipment or the part constituting the medical equipment is the compliant product or the non-compliant product on the operation screen.
