Anesthesia Machine 

Apparatus used in the administration of anesthetic gases and vapors, and for controlled ventilation during surgery.

Autoclave

Sterilizes equipment and supplies by subjecting them to high pressure saturated steam at 121 °C or more, typically for 15-20 minutes.

Hematocrit Centrifuge

Device intended to determine the blood’s hematocrit—the ratio of red-cell volume to whole blood volume, expressed as a decimal, a fraction, or a percentage.

Lab Centrifuge

These are centrifuges designed to spin samples other than blood, mostly related to wet lab research. These centrifuges will vary from the hematocrit ones possibly in size, speed parameters and capacity. 

Oxygen Concentrator

Use: Provide oxygen therapy to a patient at substantially higher concentrations than available in ambient air.

Tips for use: Oxygen concentration should consistently be above 80%.  At 2.0 Liters. PSI- at least 5.7

Defibrillator

delivers an electric current to the heart in order to restore normal beating patterns.

Fetal Doppler

Produce accurate assessment of the direction of blood flow, as well as the velocity of blood and cardiac tissue at any arbitrary point using the Doppler Effect on the stomach of the expecting mother.

Fetal Scope

Use: A fetal scope or Pinard horn is a tool used to listen the heart rate of a fetusduring pregnancy.

EKG, Diagnostic 12 Lead Machine

Use: device that generates precise voltage differences resembling the depolarization of a normal heart during a beat.

Electrosurgical unit

Use: Electrosurgical units are used for surgical cutting or to control bleeding by causing coagulation (hemostasis) at the surgical site. They deliver high-frequency electrical currents and voltages through an active electrode, causing desiccation, vaporization, or charring of the target tissue.

Neo Natal Incubator

Use: a rigid box-like enclosure in which an infant can be kept in a controlled environment for observation and care. The device may include a heater, a fan, a container for water to add humidity, a control valve through which oxygen may be added, and access ports for nursing care.

Bili Light

Use: treat newborn jaundice (prevents successive brain damage).High levels of bilirubin can cause brain damage (kernicterus), leading to cerebral palsy, auditory neuropathy, gaze abnormalities and dental enamel hypoplasia.

Exam Light

Use: intended to brighten up parts of the patient’s features in order to perform more accurate diagnostics. This item will be found in most examination rooms.

Operating room light

Use: Lighten the area of the patient where surgery is being conducted. Very high wattage. Green LEDs in room provide good contrast to actual operating light.

Mammogram

Use: A mammogram is an x-ray picture of the breast. It can be used to check for breast cancer in women who have no signs or symptoms of the disease. It can also be used if you have a lump or other sign of breast cancer.

Lab Microscope

Use: enhancing visual aid used to observed histological cuts from patients and perform adequate analysis based on the cells present and their corresponding state. Also used to identify bacteria and other microorganisms.

NIBP and Pulse Monitor

Use: displays systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings, as well as oxygen saturation, temperature and beats per minute in some occasions.

Fetal Monitor

Use: Means of recording the fetal heartbeat and the uterine contractions during pregnancy.

Vital Signs Monitor

Use: Displays an accurate ECG wave, heart rate, SpO2 (oxygen saturation), blood pressure and in some cases temperature.

ICU/Surgery Monitor

Use: Displays the same indicators as a vital sign monitor with a higher precision and display quality. Additionally, internal blood pressure or arterial blood pressure is also measured with this device.

Nebulizer

Use: Administration of medication in the form of a mist.

Battery Operated Otoscope/Ophthalmoscope

Use: A lighted instrument used to look inside the ear/eye

Wall Mounted AC Powered Otoscope/ophthalmoscope

Use: Similar to the battery otoscope, however this device works by means of the power provided from an AC outlet on a wall.

Electrical Plug Pulse Oximeter

Use: Takes pulse and SpO2 (oxygen concentration in blood) measurements.

Battery Operated Pulse Oximeter

Use: Essentially performs the same functions as a plug-in pulse oximeter, however this device is portable and can be used in areas without electrical outlets. In some cases, staff also carry these oximeters as they are more practical and easy to handle.

Pressure Infuser IV Pump

Use: Delivers medication and/or fluids to the patient at a specific rate based on pressure differences in the patient.

Infuser Syringe Pump

Use: Similar in nature to the previous pumps, this device uses syringes in several sizes to administer the medication to the patient by applying a small force to the lower end of the syringe.

Suction Machine

Use: Remove mucus and other bodily fluids from a patient.

Suction Machine/High Pressure/Surgical

Use: Remove blood and debris from the area of operation in a patient.

Diagnostic Ultrasound

Use: Ultrasound-based diagnostic medical imaging technique used to visualize muscles, tendons, and many internal organs, to capture their size, structure and any pathological lesions with real time tomographic images.

Infant Ventilator

Use: A ventilator is used to provide breathing support for ill or immature babies.

Portable/ Transport Ventilator

Use: Air source in conditions where it is not possible for the patient to breath on their own means or it is extremely difficult to do so.

Adult Ventilator

Use: Performs essentially the same functions as the portable ventilator. Uses an AC connection and therefore can’t be used outside the hospital.

Infant/ Radiant Warmer

Use: Infant warmers can be used over the course of hours (for example during transport) or over the course of weeks (for example in a NICU). Electric devices include incubators that heat the air around the neonate, radiant warmers that use an overhead heat lamp, and heated mattresses that continuously warm the surface underneath the baby.

X-Ray Unit, C-Arm

Use: C-Arm X-ray machines are mostly used as real time visual aids during minimally invasive surgical procedures like kidney drainage, abdominal and thoracic aortic aneurysm repair, percutaneous valve replacements, cardiac surgery, vascular surgery, gastroenterology, neuro stimulation, orthopedics, pain management and neurology procedures.

Portable X-Ray Unit

Use: Smaller in comparison to regular x-ray machines, this device is easily moved from one room to another in order get x-rays without moving the patient from his location.

Exam Table

An examination table (or exam table) is used to support patients during medical examinations. 

Gurney

A wheeled stretcher used for transporting hospital patients.

Endotacheal Tube

A tracheal tube is a catheter that is inserted into the trachea for the primary purpose of establishing and maintaining a patent airway and to ensure the adequate exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Anesthesia Circuit

Equipment used during inhalation anesthesia to regulate concentrations of inhaled gases; includes a reservoir bag andusually directional valves, breathing tubes, and a carbon dioxide absorber.

Ambu Bag

A hand-held device commonly used to provide positive pressure ventilation to patients who are not breathing or not breathing adequately.

IV Primary Set

Flexible, plastic tubing (often called an infusion set) connected to the bag of fluid at one end and to the hub of the intravenous catheter (or to extension tubing) at the other end.

Surgical Pack

All of the instruments and other equipment such as drapes, gloves, etc. required for a particular operation, or partof an operation, specially arranged, wrapped and sterilized by autoclaving then stored for future use.

Chest Drain Tube

A chest tube (chest drain, thoracic catheter, tubethoracostomy, or intercostal drain) is a flexible plastic tubethat is inserted through the chest wall and into the pleural space or mediastinum.
