[Noisebridge-discuss] medical technology to hack

[daniela Steinsapir]

  I went and there are not  a lot of small used stuff, I got one
oximeter, some tubing (  ad for oxygen storage  I think) , ultrasound
sensor, radiation laser that looked cool,  but there is none EGG
things or microscopes. Sorry!  Mother boards, video imagery boards for
 old machines and old  medical machine keyboards were all around.

 The good thing that there are quite a few of old ultrasound imagery machines
( for ecographys)  available for me to take, the only thing is that I
cannot tell at what level the machine is damaged, so I am waiting for
an inspection. Will see.. it would be very interesting to work with
one of those, but I want to know what is working and what is not to
know if it is worth it to carry around.

 I am going to be travelling from now on.

 Till then

 happy holidays!
