ARLINGTON, VA-The Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) has joined forces with the software company Dyadem International to provide a software package designed to assist in the hazard identification and management of the Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA). The software includes reporting features for analyzing the components of medical devices, detailing cause and effect failure modes, and maintaining risk priority data.
