I don't disagree and yes we do have incoming inspection and PM program but that does not stop Nurse managers purchasing equipment from a local drug store.
The item purchased are suitable for their needs and it is difficult to remove these items as they test OK with our NIBP simulator or oscilloscope (tens).
The trouble with Canada is each Province is responsible for Health Care which includes funding and can set their own rules I believe.
On that note is there an updated version of 60601 that perhaps covers battery operated devices?
