General Steps for Conducting Failure Mode and Effect Analysis

Step	Description
1	Reviewing of blood sampling process
2	Brainstorming potential failures
3	Listing potential effects of each failure mode
4	Assigning severity rating for each potential effect
5	Assigning frequency/occurrence rating for each failure mode
6	Assigning detection rating scale for each failure mode
7	Calculating Risk Priority Number (RPN) for each effect
