Use of hospital equipment


The devices, tools, medical consumables and equipment used in the hospital and health care settings are called hospital medical equipment.

Function is the main basis for the classification of medical equipment. Diagnostic equipment includes the ultrasound machine, X-ray and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine and Computed Tomography (CT) machine.

Therapeutic equipment includes medical lasers, infusion pumps and radiation therapy machines. Critically ill patients need therapeutic medical equipment like the medical ventilators, heart-lung machines and dialysis machines.
