An equipment life cycle are every medical devices entire life-span from its manufacture, purchase and planning, installation and acceptance inspection, to its every day use, as well as daily maintenance, to its final turn in disposal and retirement. Like a human being, a medical device also has a life-cycle. From birth to death, human beings pass through various stages (e.g. birth, growth, maturity, decline and eventually death). All medical equipment devices life cycle goes through multiple phases (ie. “Cradle-to-grave”) too.

| - An equipment life cycle are every medical devices entire life-span from its manufacture, purchase and planning, installation and acceptance inspection, to its every day use, as well as daily maintenance, to its final turn in disposal and retirement. Like a human being, a medical device also has a life-cycle. From birth to death, human beings pass through various stages (e.g. birth, growth, maturity, decline and eventually death). All medical equipment devices life cycle goes through multiple phases (ie. “Cradle-to-grave”) too. There are stages in the life cycle management of medical equipment such as:
* Planning
* Acquisition
* Delivery
* Acceptance inspection
* Inventory and documentation
* Training users and operators
* Monitoring use and performance
* Preventive maintenance
* Regular maintenance
* Replacement and/or disposal Understanding these different stages will provide a comprehensive and highly effective way of management of medical equipment in order to provide "top-quality" patient care.
