Abstract: Reliability maintenance is widely used in fields such as aerospace, high-speed rails, ships, and civil infrastructures. It indirectly reflects the performance of equipment by studying the statistical patterns of equipment and component failures under specified conditions, time, and functionality. The maintenance management of dialysis equipment is currently in the stage of shifting from post maintenance to preventive maintenance. This article introduces the basic content of reliability maintenance and applies the idea of reliability maintenance management to the maintenance of dialysis equipment, in order to improve the reliability of dialysis equipment and reduce maintenance costs. By applying reliability parameters such as mean time between failures, a basis is provided for evaluating the maintenance quality of dialysis equipment. In addition, reliability parameters can also be used to predict equipment maintenance and replacement needs, providing a basis for dialysis equipment management. 

Key words: Dialysis equipment, Reliability, Reliability parameters, Mean time between failures
