For the full functioning of various institutions of the health care system, regardless of the profile of activity, a form of ownership, scale, medical equipment, and medical equipment is needed. Medical technology is a collective name for technical means that are used in medicine and health care.
Different types of medical equipment are used for:
- Disease prevention;
- Studies of the activity of the heart and brain, respiration, blood pressure, blood, and other physiological fluids, tissue samples;
- Diagnostics of various diseases, including at an early stage, when there are no clinical symptoms, tracking the dynamics of the disease, the effectiveness of treatment;
- Carrying out medical procedures and manipulations;
- The implementation of surgical interventions;
- The implementation of resuscitation measures;
- Maintenance of vital functions in the event of loss, failure of individual organs during the period of a patient's coma, search for a donor organ, preparation for transplantation;
- Effective rehabilitation of patients after an illness, surgery;
- Disinfection and sterilization;
- Disposal of medical waste;
- Facilitate patient care.
Medical equipment is subdivided into several functional groups. Instruments that are used to carry out manipulations and procedures can be manual (powered by muscular force) or be part of the apparatus as a replaceable working body. Devices are devices that are used for research, diagnostic purposes, and provide accurate information about the state of the body. Medical equipment is several groups of devices:
Physiotherapy devices - generate different types of energy to provide a therapeutic effect on the body;
Devices that temporarily perform the functions of some organs, systems;
Devices, which include instruments for mechanical action on organs.
Equipment is a broad concept, it is a general name for technical devices that allow creating the necessary conditions for treatment, diagnostics, patient care, mechanizing, or automating labor-intensive processes. Also, medical equipment includes consumables, spare parts, and components that are necessary for its operation. These are batteries for portable diagnostic devices, physiotherapy devices, X-ray films, heating elements for water distillers, and much more.
Medical devices are classified according to their areas of application. There are such groups of equipment:
01.
For functional diagnostics
Ultrasound, MRI, cardiographs, electromyographs, spirographs, medical thermal imagers, X-ray, radiological devices, and much more, including computer diagnostic systems, bedside monitors;
02.
For life support
Artificial lung ventilation devices, artificial pneumothorax, hemodialysis, infusion pumps;
03.
Laboratory
To automate the performance of laboratory analyzes;
04.
Therapeutic
Inhalers, devices for electrophoresis, ultrasonic, shock wave, laser, magnetic and other types of physiotherapy;
05.
Surgical
Laser and electrosurgical devices, aspirators, operating tables, lamps, ceiling consoles to accommodate all the equipment necessary during the operation;
06.
Resuscitation, anesthesia and resuscitation
Defibrillators, mechanical ventilation;
07.
For transporting patients
Gurneys, handlers;
08.
To call the medical staff
Ward alarm systems;
09.
Rehabilitation
Traction tables, devices for passive limb development, wheelchairs, medical beds, walkers;
10.
For ambulances
For disinfection and sterilization, ultraviolet chambers, recirculators, aquadistillers, air sterilizers, irradiators for air and water, which can be wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted, mobile, are used. Also, equipment for the needs of medicine includes utilizers, cremators.
The division of medical equipment and equipment is accepted not only into diagnostic, therapeutic, surgical, resuscitation, etc. but also by branches of medicine. Some technical means can be applied in different fields. So, laboratory tests, ultrasounds are prescribed for a variety of diseases. The list of indications for physiotherapy procedures is also wide. But highly specialized equipment is also distinguished. For example, neonatology – this category includes incubators, irradiators for warming babies, treating neonatal jaundice, changing tables, and functional beds. There are also equipment for gynecological (gynecological chairs), cardiological (pacemakers), urological (rectoscopes), cosmetology (lymphatic drainage apparatus).
