| Abstract | The validation of the mechanical behavior of medical devices (MD) that undergo reprocessing can be an important tool to ensure that the device is adequate for a new use. Health care institutions seek to increase their cost to benefit ratio regarding the purchase of a MD, without compromising the patient's health. Mechanical characterization is an excellent way to measure important physical properties to check the state of reused MD. Nevertheless, this type of analysis requires the destruction of the MD. This work attempts to approach this problem through the implementation of a nondestructive technique known as indentation by Shore A (hardness measure), that can be relate with deformation (Young's Modulus) through analytical models. This research reports that the relationship between the Young's Modulus and the electrosurgical pencils hardness follows a parabolic model among other models, including a multivariate model, a logarithmic model and an exponential one. We conclude that it is possible to obtain the value of the deformation of a MD through the measure of hardness, achieving to validate the mechanical behavior without destroying it, increasing the cost to benefit ratio of the health care institution and securing the patient's integrity during a medical procedure. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
