Excerpt - "Medical Equipment Problems: Scott and White Hospital in Temple, Texas has recently begun evaluating medical devices for year 2000 compliancy. They report that the same brand, batch /date, model can have differences in the compliancy of the individual units. As of October, 1997, they have found problems in anesthesia monitors, fetal monitors, and an MRI machine. Other types of equipment that have failed year 2000 testing at other healthcare sites are: infusion pumps in intravenous drips, heart defibrillators, pacemaker and intensive care monitors, CT scans, dialysis, chemotherapy and radiation equipment, and laboratory, radiology and other diagnostic systems."
