CONCLUSION The acquisition process of hospital equipment requires defined criteria to make comparison possible between different brands and models, and to point to the selection and consequent definition of which item will be more fit to incorporate in a certain hospital in a certain application.	cache/globalce-54.pdf	txt/globalce-54.txt
