Can you use operating room tables, exam tables, small refrigerators, instrument sterilizers, metal OR utility tables, monitors?
Hi Adam: It was a pleasure to meet you and hear about your work. You visited my office a little over 2 weeks ago. I have:
One dental type chair, one new gurney, two older operating tables, one exam table, one rolling cabinet (Hermann Miller), old but very good Pelton Crane autoclave-looks like its plugged into a 220 outlet, Bair OR table warmer, IV pole on wheels. Also have wall mounted Herman Miller OR cabinets, but I recall you could not easily use them.
Could you please let me know if any of this will pass customs and is useful to you.
Thank you, Roland Minami
