An Autotransfusion cell saver system is a hospital medical device used to collect a patient’s blood lost during surgery or trauma care, process it (typically by filtering, centrifugation, and washing), and return concentrated red blood cells back to the same patient. It is part of modern patient blood management and is increasingly considered essential hospital equipment in settings where significant blood loss is anticipated.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation ECMO system is a high-acuity, resource-intensive form of extracorporeal life support used in critical care to temporarily support gas exchange (oxygenation and carbon dioxide removal) and/or circulatory function when conventional therapies are insufficient. It is not a single part, but a complete clinical device ecosystem: a console, pump, membrane oxygenator, tubing circuit, cannulas, sensors, alarms, and the trained team and protocols required to operate it safely.

Retinoscope is a handheld ophthalmic medical device used to perform **retinoscopy**—an objective method for estimating refractive error by observing the light reflex from the patient’s retina. It remains a core piece of medical equipment in eye clinics, hospitals, and outreach programs because it can provide useful refractive information even when a patient cannot reliably answer subjective questions.

Occluder paddle is a simple, non-powered clinical device used to temporarily block vision in one eye during eye examinations and vision screening. It is widely used across ophthalmology, optometry, orthoptics, emergency care, and community screening because it helps standardize testing and reduce variability compared with “covering with a hand.”
