Abstract
Abstract Pendant system is frequently used equipment in operation room, and its main function is to integrate various gas, electric, signal pipelines and supporting the equipments of operation. It can provide nursing staffs a convenient way to use the operation equipments, and prevent them from the stumble caused by those supply lines. Pendant system is usually with locating capability to place the equipments on a suitable position in operation room. Pendant system needs a properly loading capability due to installed equipments. The most frequently used pendant systems can be separated into two groups: single-arm type, duo-arm type. Single-arm type usually has high loading capability, but the location ability only on its arm-radius circumference; duo-arm type has the location ability on its arm-radius full circle surface, but a comparatively low loading ability. Therefore, when choosing the pendant, there is trade-off due to these two requirements (loading capability, locating ability). In this study, Quality Function Deployment to research pedant system is used to find the specifications, and design a kind pendant system with single arm and full circle surface location capability.
