The utilisation of medical device e.g. an infusion pump is commonly treated as non-trivial process in service and maintenance section albeit in actuality, it is a crucial process for determining its correct maintenance cycle. Therefore, a discussion on the capability of magnetometer sensor as one of potential sensors to be used to keep track the utilisation status of infusion pump. The variation of magnetic flux density and its frequency produced by the stepper motor inside the infusion pump is measured and analysed through magnetometer sensor, embedded inside a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device. Obtained result shows that magnetometer sensor has the potential to track the utilisation status of the tested infusion pumps.
