Examples of Fixed Equipment include walk-in refrigerators having medical/pathology functions, sterilizers, surgical lights, X-ray darkroom equipment, etc. |
 |
Group II: Major Moveable Equipment
Medical equipment capable of being moved without modification of facility structure or services, but with physical size great enough to demand designer attention and/or building services required for function. Examples include EKG units, mobile X-ray units, electric beds and physiologic monitoring. |
 |
Group III: Minor Moveable Equipment
Medical equipment that requires no building services for operation. Examples include plinth table, stretchers, carts and I.V. stands. |
