John, Paul, Louis employs a similar algorithm to the one's described. Louis's hospital FORMALLY classifies/grades equipment in a similar countenance which John describes.
This classification is, Louis believes, an American system and it is quite often written in to the relevant specification i.e. (as Johns, and I believe he has worked where Louis is now)
Class
1. High risk device
2. Medium risk devices
3. Low risk devices
Louis's can then prioritize accordingly though Louis still likes to fulfill his PPM agenda as do we all, my friends, as do we all.
If you can get your property managment etc. to formally grade equipment, you may find it easier to prioritize on a more qualitive podium than that of your personal
“gut instinct”. Louis III
