Ah, so we agree on that, then.
But I don't really see how (real, complete) remanufacturing is likely to achieve that aim.
Is it too late to change your thesis to something like:- "Practical Methods of Prolonging (or Extending) the Useful Life of Medical Equipment"?
Slightly off topic:- I would like to see funding (from the Magic Money Tree?) set aside for a decent workshop where donated equipment can be properly prepared before handing over - staffed, most likely, by "greybeard" biomed volunteers.
