Hello
We have an Eschmann DS301 from 1981 sat in Obstetric theatre as backup.
I will not be removing it from service; it still works to its' original specification, consumables are available and it hasn't gone wrong in over 20 years.
However I will happily support the clinical staff when they say this equipment is not up to date, cannot do what modern diathermies do, and should be replaced.
