Medical Device State Monitoring

A state diagram for medical device state monitoring visualizes the operational phases and transitions of a medical device, ensuring real-time tracking and proactive management of its status. Key states include **Idle** (ready for use), **Active** (performing a procedure), **Alert** (detecting anomalies like low battery or sensor malfunction), **Maintenance** (under repair or calibration), and **Shutdown** (powered off). Transitions are triggered by events such as user commands, sensor readings, or system checks. For example, a device shifts from **Active** to **Alert** if vital signs deviate critically, prompting immediate intervention. This diagram aids healthcare providers in monitoring device reliability, predicting failures, and ensuring patient safety by aligning device states with clinical workflows.
