Brian. Thanks for that link. Good work (I'll have a look at it later).
Alan. Yes there may well be PC's in operating theatres. But are they standard ones, or special (filtered power supplies, or whatever)? Are they nicely mounted on appropriate carts complete with isolating transformers? Are they (to use that phrase again) "medical grade" - in terms of ruggedness, protection against fluid ingress
etc.? Are they "patient connected"? Are they in any of the various "patient risk zones" (which vary according to whichever code you are following) - but basically mean "close to the patient" and/or anaesthetic vapours? And (finally) which code do you follow when you
Rigel* them (and what does the technical documentation and equipment markings suggest) ... and what kind of results do you obtain?
Phew! (and where is John Backes when you need him?).
