This includes surgical equipment, dental hand pieces, nebulizers, flexible and rigid endoscopes, ultrasound probes and transducers, but also less obvious equipment such as monitors, overhead lights in a surgical suite, bed rails in a hospital room, stethoscopes, blood pressure cuffs, ventilators, and pulsometers used to test oxygen levels.
