Abstract
natural valves of the human heart. The failure of such a device to
perform to its requirements can lead to serious complications, even
threatening the life of the recipient. There are many and varied modes
of valve failure that can lead to departure from specifications. These
failure mechanisms can be broadly classified into (1) intrinsic factors,
like prosthesis design, materials and fabrication processes, and (2)
extrinsic factors due to remodelling of the heart and lungs subsequent
to valvular disease and valve replacement. This failure mode and effect
analysis (FMEA) is an attempt to identify the various possible failure
modes of the Chitra heart valve prosthesis
