Abstract

The article reviews the responsibilities of the Special Inspection for Electrical Medical Equipment, STEM, with emphasis on investigations of accidents and near-accidents in connection with the use of technical equipment. It stresses the obligation to report to STEM immediately. The reported accidents for the period 1980-1988 are given in table 1, and are discussed. Norwegian statistics are compared with both American and Scandinavian data and reference is made to the international standardization on technical medical equipment.
