Medical Diagnostic Equipment Many hospitals and medical centers have sophisticated medical equipment that includes one or more MRIs, Linear Accelerators, CT Scanners, PET Scanners, gamma cameras, ultrasound devices and hyperbaric chambers. The value of this equipment can range from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars and requires special care and protective devices. The sensitive circuitry of advanced diagnostic equipment is fragile and extremely susceptible to power surges, short circuits and other electrical disruptions. Because of their high value and fragile nature, advanced diagnostic medical equipment requires special underwriting. In addition, hospitals with laboratories have a variety of sophisticated equipment with significant values. Blood chemistry analyzers typically cost $125,000 to $200,000, blood culture analyzers $70,000 to $200,000, and hematology analyzers $100,000 to $200,000. © 2004 The Hartford Steam Boiler Insurance and Inspection Company.     All rights reserved.
