Abstract
In this research, on medical equipment maintainability and reliability we conducted basic statistics analysis using University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital as the case study; the data collected covered 18 departments, namely; Anatomical Pathology, Micro Biology, Chemical Pathology Laboratory, Radiography Department, Pediatrics, Hemodialialysis, Hematology and Blood Transfusion, Physiotherapy, Dental Department, MDR-TB unit, Pharmacy, ICU, Assisted Conception Unit, Orthopedic Ward, Care for Elderly Laboratory, Family Planning Unit, Community Medicine and Labour Ward. The results of the parametric Weibull distribution percentile suggested that the reliability of the devices tends to fail every 21 days. The reliability plot of the model indicated that the devices tend to decrease its life span with age, the Weibull model was adequately fitted following the results of Anderson adjust test of goodness of fit and the probability plot. In comparison, the Probability value of goodness of fit P(0.0000) of Weibull distribution model was compared with that of exponential distribution model P(0.034), the outcome showed that Weibull distribution is better to model the data of medical equipment in University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital.
