Free reference: how each type of equipment works, and service notes for specific models.
01
How it works
MRIA superconducting magnet, three gradient coils and an RF chain that turn hydrogen nuclei into a spatially encoded radio signal, then into images.CTAn X-ray tube and a curved multi-row detector rotating around the patient on a slip-ring gantry, measuring attenuation from hundreds of angles and reconstructing cross-sectional images.X-ray / DRA high-voltage generator drives an X-ray tube for a short exposure; a flat-panel detector turns the transmitted radiation into a digital projection image.UltrasoundA probe of piezoelectric elements sends short acoustic pulses into tissue and listens for echoes; the system beamforms them into real-time images and Doppler flow data.ICU ventilatorA closed-loop gas delivery system that mixes air and oxygen, delivers controlled breaths through valves and sensors, and protects the patient with alarms and a safety valve.Anaesthesia workstationA gas delivery system, vaporiser and rebreathing circle with a ventilator, built so that the patient always receives oxygen and the anaesthetist always knows what is being delivered.Patient monitorA set of sensor front ends (ECG, SpO2, NIBP, IBP, temperature, CO2) feeding one processor that displays trends and raises alarms, often over a hospital network.Clinical chemistry analyzerAn automated photometer: it pipettes samples and reagents into cuvettes, incubates them at a controlled temperature, and measures colour change or ion potentials to calculate analyte concentrations.

Model notes
Model pages are built from manufacturer-independent notes and from real field cases from our service work. Every page says what it is based on.
Anaesthesia · GE HealthCareAvance family (Datex-Ohmeda S/5 Avance, Avance CS2)Datex-Ohmeda / GE anaesthesia workstations with an electronic gas mixer, an integrated bellows ventilator and a compact breathing system, used in operating theatres for general anaesthesia from adults to children.Ventilators · GE HealthCareCarescape R860Pneumatically driven ICU ventilator for adult, paediatric and neonatal patients that runs from wall (or compressor) air and oxygen and is used in intensive care units and step-down wards.Ultrasound · GE HealthCareVoluson E6 / E8 / E10Premium cart-based ultrasound system built around 3D/4D volume imaging, used mainly in obstetrics, gynaecology and fetal medicine departments.Lab chemistry · MindrayBS-240Benchtop, fully automated discrete clinical chemistry analyzer with an optional ISE module, used in small and mid-size hospital and private laboratories for routine biochemistry.Ventilators · MindraySV600 / SV650Mindray's mid-to-high-end ICU ventilator for adult, paediatric and (with the neonatal module) neonatal patients, running on wall air and O2 or on an optional internal blower, used in ICUs, emergency departments and for in-hospital transport.
