In order to accurately diagnose the condition of the patient's body and detect diseases in a timely manner, doctors need to use high-tech medical equipment. Modern medical technology makes it possible to increase the effectiveness of various treatment and preventive procedures, and also simplifies operations. Usually medical equipment for hospitals divided into several main groups. His choice depends on the field of activity of the medical institution.
Classification of medical equipment
All medical equipment is divided into the following groups:
1. Laboratory equipment.
2. Diagnostic devices.
3. Surgical technique.
4. Sterilization equipment.
5. Technique for resuscitation.
6. Dental technology.
7. Ophthalmological equipment.
8. Equipment for women's consultations.
9. Equipment for neonatal separated.
10. Other.
Laboratory equipment
This group includes ELISA devices, centrifuges, thermostats, analyzers and much more. All this medical equipment is intended for the analysis of blood, urine, smears, and so on.
Devices for diagnostics
This includes ECG devices, ultrasound, scanners, tomographs and other similar equipment designed to determine the state of the patient's body. Hardware diagnostics allows you to detect diseases at any stage, as well as make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe effective treatment.
Surgical technique
This group includes all the equipment that is used for operations, namely: operating tables, EHCV, coagulators, devices that support vital activity, special lighting, and so on.
Equipment for sterilization
With its help, surgical, stomatological and other instruments are sterilized. Such equipment is used in clinics and hospitals.
Resuscitation technique
These are life support devices, defibrillators, anesthesia devices, and much more. In the intensive care unit, aspirators and dispensers are also used, which should also be included in this category of medical equipment.
dental technology
This category includes a dental chair, an autoclave, devices for processing instruments, a refrigerator for storing drugs, and so on.
Ophthalmological equipment
This group includes laser systems, refractometers, ophthalmoscopes, tomographs and other devices with the help of which specialists check vision and treat eye diseases.
Physiotherapy equipment
These include devices for magnetotherapy, inhalers, electrophoresis equipment, and more. At the same time, inhalers can be home and professional. In addition, this category also includes equipment intended for ultrasound treatment.
The main requirement for medical equipment is the presence of a certificate that confirms that it was manufactured in accordance with the requirements of current quality and safety standards. Medical clinics and hospitals do not have the right to use non-certified equipment or tools in their work. In addition, all operated medical equipment must undergo regular maintenance in order to be in good working order and not cause malfunctions during operation.
