Equipment Response Demo

Work as Imagined vs Work as Done

One broken device.
Two very different responses.

A perfusionist notices a fault with a piece of equipment before a cardiac case. Watch what happens next — today, and with CauseACTION.

What today's process misses

  • Device available to next shift — fault unknown
  • Datix completed 6 days late — detail lost
  • MHRA obligation never assessed
  • Same fault at 3 other centres — invisible nationally
  • No reliability data fed back to procurement
  • Team learning dependent on individual memory

What CauseACTION adds

  • Device quarantined before next shift arrives
  • Supplier notified with SLA clock started
  • Datix pre-populated at point of incident
  • MHRA threshold assessed automatically
  • Fault aggregated across 4 centres → NHSSC notified
  • Reliability trend added to procurement intelligence
