Clinical Equipment presented are:
Blood analyzers to detect high cholesterol, anemia, and diabetes.
External Defibrilators - to deliver an electrical shock to the heart in order to stop rapid heart rhythm disturbances (arrhythmias), and change to a slower organized rhythm.
Infusion pumps - to administer fluids in ways that would be impractically expensive or unreliable if performed manually. For example, they can administer as little as 0.1 mL per hour injections (too small for a drip), injections every minute, injections with repeated boluses requested by the patient, up to maximum number per hour, or fluids whose volumes vary by the time of day.
