In the medical laboratory, equipment and material management is well real-ized as one of the high-priority tasks in handling of information about the periodic quality inspection and maintenance of test equipment and other in-strument monitoring in the laboratory. Lack of managing and neglecting the equipment can result into malfunction that ends up costing more time and resources. This paper proposed a designed web-based information system in order to address the issues of managing the expensive medical equipment (ME) and various consumable medical materials (CMM) in the laboratories. In regard to data administration improvement of medical laboratories' day-to-day operations, the objective of this study is to design to complete the func-tionality and evaluate the information system based on the user specifica-tion. More than 200 initiate materials list and 50 medical equipment records were collected and transferred into the system. Three independent laborato-ries utilized the developed ME/CMM information system to evaluate its per-formance compared to the traditional system. The t-test statistical analysis was used to assess feedback surveys. The finding shows that the system pro-vides users convenience and effectiveness in handling ME and CMM; thus, our system significantly reduces the workload of staffs and inefficient costs.
