It *ought* to be neither, but not even the Medical Devices Directive encourages the definition of a 'hospital environment'. Actually a set of environments is required, some of which would be the same as those already defined, but some would not. Ordinary wards and public areas have TV sets and can be classed as 'residential'. Theatres and intensive care wards include sensitive safety-of-life equipment, in theatres alongside powerful emitters such as electrosurgery instruments. Services areas are 'light industrial' in nature. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only. Try www.jmwa.demon.co.uk and www.isce.org.uk There are benefits from being irrational - just ask the square root of 2.
