Hospital Medical Equipment
In contrast, hospital MEDICAL EQUIPMENT is often larger, highly specialized, and much more expensive than self-care devices. They cover a wide range of large and small devices including electrical gadgets, diagnostic tools, treatment equipment, therapeutic equipment, medical monitors, surgical tools, acute-care and life support supplies, and other items that deal with storage and transport.
When a patient enters a hospital, often through the emergency room or clinic, they're first exposed to diagnostic equipment. These can take the form of examination, laboratory testing, imaging, and vital sign monitoring and including examination tables and scopes, urinalysis and blood testing equipment, x-ray and body scanning equipment, and devices for monitoring heart rate, temperature, and blood pressure. This type of equipment takes biological or chemical reading that gets recorded and helps a doctor diagnose the patient's illness. MRIs, CT Scans and X-Ray machines all fall under this category of hospital equipment.
If a procedure is to follow, doctors enlist the help of procedural or surgical equipment in the operating theatre. These include stainless steel tools, disposable items like caps, gowns, gloves and glasses that medical teams use as protection from infection, gauze, as well as complex machines like diagnostic scopes and cameras, robotic arms, lasers and infusion pumps. Life-support machines like heart-lung machines, medical ventilators, incubators and dialysis machines also fall under this group.
