When purchasing EKG machines and cardiopulmonary equipment there are two critical factors that must be considered. First, the company might not include all of the necessary accessories (such as EKG cables, power cords, etc.) in the shipped product. Second, product reliability can sometimes be an issue. Although the products have technically been approved by the FDA, they do not always work efficiently. In addition, technical support can sometimes be an issue because some companies who claim product service don’t receive all of the parts manufactured in China. As a result they do not have proper experience in working with these products.
Still supplied by Medical Device Depot!

There have been many great advances in hospital medical equipment over the last century, but most of us take them for granted. The scientific community has graced us with some revolutionary pieces of hospital medical equipment that have saved many lives and generally helped people live longer and better. And many of the new pieces of hospital medical equipment that have been introduced have opened the door for even more equipment inventions. Consider the following simple pieces of equipment that are now taken for granted, which did not even exist before the 1960s.
Hospital Medical Equipment of the 1960s
The laser scalpel is still a pretty impressive piece of hospital medical equipment, but it is used in so many different procedures that it is no longer appreciated as the delicate and precise technological wonder it is. Laser scalpels were not invented until 1964, thanks to testing beginning in 1960 that eventually led to the carbon dioxide laser. Portable defibrillators were also introduced in 1960 in Belfast, Germany. They are now about as common as first aid kits. Ultrasound machines were developed around the same time, in 1962 to be exact, although they are not quite as easily portable.
The early 1960s were really quite a time for hospital medical equipment inventions. Balloon catheters were invented by Thomas Fogarty in 1963. Fogarty patented the first balloon catheter that became the industry standard for continuous draining of the bladder, which is crucial during surgery. And the first portable EKG, or electrocardiogram, was built in 1961 by Frank Sanborn’s company. Although EKGs were already an accepted piece of hospital medical equipment, they had never been portable prior to that.
These equipments are now taken for granted in hospitals and other medical care settings, but life wouldn’t be the same without them. It’s a good thing about living today.
Home Medical Equipment Helps Injured People Live Normal Lives
No one anticipates getting into an accident, but for those who do it is often necessary to invest in home medical equipment and rehabilitation in order to live any sort of normal life during recovery, and sometimes permanently. Those who are lucky enough to survive an accident and are released from the hospital may need home medical equipment to monitor their condition during recovery or assist in their daily living indefinitely. From wheelchairs to EKG machines, there are many types of home medical equipment that an accident survivor might need after they have been sent home from the hospital.
Some of the various home medical equipment items that an accident survivor or their caregiver might need to purchase include oxygen tents, iron lungs, catheters, CPAPs, wheelchairs, hospital beds and nebulizers, just to name a few. Some of this equipment may be covered by health insurance plans. Some home medical equipment is not covered by insurance or the individual who needs it may be uninsured, so there are affordable options such as used equipment, financing and payment plans.
Those hurt in accidents aren’t the only ones who need home medical equipment; there are many people who rely on it every day who have never been in an accident. People who were born disabled, have contracted diseases, have become bedridden for various reasons or are elderly may also need various medical equipments to serve their home healthcare needs. In the case of disabled or bedridden persons, equipment such as electric scooters, rollators, grabbers and magnifiers are also required for daily activities.
There are various companies supplying high quality and durable home medical equipment to assist individuals with injuries, conditions and disabilities. There is no way of knowing if any of us may someday need this equipment to live a normal life.
