| - Quantitative Measure (QaM) is data that involves numbers, measurements, or math. Typically, QaM uses any and all test equipment or tools to include but not limited to an electronic balance, a multimeter, an oscilloscope, a ruler, a chemical beaker, a safety analyzer, etc.. The QaM are numbers and are represented by units of measure such as:

| - Quantitative Measure (QaM) is data that involves numbers, measurements, or math. Typically, QaM uses any and all test equipment or tools to include but not limited to an electronic balance, a multimeter, an oscilloscope, a ruler, a chemical beaker, a safety analyzer, etc.. The QaM are numbers and are represented by units of measure such as:
* acceleration: centimeter/square second, foot/square second,inch/square second,kilometer/hour second,meter/square second.
* length: Millimeters, Centimeters, Inches, Feet, Yards, Meters, Kilometers, Miles
* flow rate [volume]: liter/minute
* radiation: rem, rad, sievert (Sv), roentgen (R)
* density: kg/cubic meter, lbm/cubic foot, lbm/gallon
* area: square centimeter, square inch, square mile
* volume: Liters, Fluid Ounces, Pints, Quarts, Gallons
* mass (weight): Kilograms, Ounces, Pounds, tons
* temperature: Fahrenheit, Celsius, kelvin
* energy: Btu, joule, foot pound, horsepower hour, inch pound, watt second
* pressure: bar, inch of mercury [0 °C], inch of water [4 °C] QaM is performed and documented during some routine PMs and all calibrations/verification's for every medical device. Armed with both research methods [i.e. Qualitative and Quantitative], you are well on your way to making highly effective and well documented evidence-based maintenance decisions, PMs, Calibrations, and repairs
