Medical items. Used to usually heal people.

Items

Diagnostics

The items for diagnosing the patient.

Health Analyzer Found in: Medical Storage, all forms of Medical Kit, Medical vending machines, and more Used for: Determining the patient's status Strategy: Use it on your patient and interpret the readout Description Whip this out and use it on someone to see a summary of their condition. As a Medical staffer, your PDA also has a built in Health Analyzer, just make sure to activate it before use. The results are broken into sections: Overall health percentage Species Damage Type (if any) Body temperature Blood level, volume, and type Infection warning (if applicable) An ideal reading for a health scan is as follows: Analyzing Results for [Character Name]: Overall Status: 100% healthy Species: Human Body Temperature: 33.3°C (91.9°F) Blood level 100%, 560 cl, type: O+ The health analyzer has two modes: a health scan which is described above and a chemical scan - toggling between the two is achieved by clicking on the scanner while it is in your active hand. The chemical mode can be used to identify any chemicals in a person's bloodstream, as well as any addictions or overdoses the individual may be suffering from.

Penlight Found in: Medical Storage, Used for: Determining the patient's eye condition, signalling patients Strategy: Toggle the light on, aim for the eyes, and use on the patient Description Works like a flashlight, but with a much lower brightness. Used to identify blindness, x-ray vision, and normal eye function; can also be used to momentarily blind a target. Click on patients from a distance with a penlight in hand to create a circular medical hologram with a ping, useful for quickly signalling that you want to treat them or simply garnering attention.

File:MS.png Mass Spectrometer Found in: Research Used for: For seeing what reagents the patient has in their bloodstream, though you should just use a health analyzer on the chemical scanner setting. Strategy: Draw blood from the patient with a syringe, inject the blood into the Mass Spectrometer and use it in hand to see the results Description A hand-held mass spectrometer which identifies trace chemicals in a blood sample. An Advanced Mass Spectrometer also gives you information regarding how much of the chemicals are in the blood.

Stethoscope Found in: Medical Storage Used for: Listening to patient's pulse and respiration Strategy: Use it on a patient. ...or a safe. Description An outdated medical apparatus for listening to the sounds of the human body. It also makes you look like you know what you're doing when worn around the neck.

Basic Treatments

These are your basic go-to items for stabilizing casualties and treating everyday brute, burn, toxin, and oxygen deprivation damage. Every good medical professional should keep a few of these on them in case of emergency. Chances are you'll need them in a hurry.

Bruise Pack Found in: Medical Storage, Prison Wing, Dormitory Used for: Treating brute damage Strategy: Aim for the damaged limb and apply the bruise pack on the patient Description Used to cure brute damage. Target the area with brute damage and apply. Requires exposed flesh to apply. This works even on those in critical condition, so if someone has stabilized the patient, either by administering Epinephrine or by giving CPR, use your Health Analyzer and apply treatment where needed. Come in stacks of five. The chemical equivalent is Styptic powder.

Ointment Found in: Medical Storage, Prison Wing, Dormitory Used for: Treating burn damage Strategy: Aim for the damaged limb and apply the ointment on the patient Description Exactly the same as the bruise pack, except it is used to treat burn damage. The chemical equivalent is Silver sulfadiazine.

Medical gauze Found in: Medical Storage, Dormitory, Nanomed Plus Used for: Temporarily stopping bleeding Strategy: Apply the gauze on the patient - aim for whichever part is exposed and it will work!

File:Bottle17.png Anti-Toxin Found in: Medical Storage, Toxin First-Aid Kit Used for: Treating toxin damage Strategy: Feed the pills to/or inject the patient Description Your go-to stock chemical for curing toxin damage. One unit of Anti-Toxin will cure five units of toxins damage. Administer either by syringe or pill. The chemical equivalent is Charcoal.

Epinephrine Found in: Medical vending machines, Medical Storage, all forms of Medical Kit Used for: Treating suffocation damage Strategy: Inject the patient Description A very handy chemical to have to hand in an emergency, Epinephrine will help to stabilize anyone in critical condition, and will usually temporarily prevent them from dying in front of you, just like CPR. Inject into an individual and commence treatment quickly, or get them to a medical professional, before it wears off.

Syringe Found in: Medical Storage, Chemistry Used for: Injecting medicine, taking blood samples Strategy: Use it while in hand to toggle inject or draw mode Description A syringe is a container especially used for holding liquids. They have two modes: inject and draw. While in draw mode, a syringe takes liquids from other liquid containers such as bottles and beakers and even people 5 mg at a time. While in inject mode it will push its contents 5 mg at a time into a target, including other containers. Syringes can be injected into food and drinks, even those still sitting on a table. A syringe can hold up to 15 mg of liquid and will survive reactions happening inside of it, in spite of appearances. They are most often found inside syringe boxes in the open around Medbay or in medical lockers or in medical crates ordered from the Quartermaster. Medical dispensers also provide a number of empty syringes. Empty syringes can be found in boxes located around Medbay. Specialised pre-filled syringes can also found in Medical kits, such as Anti-Toxin or Epinephrine. Spaceacillin syringes are also in Medical dispensers and are useful for preventing disease outbreaks.

Syringe Gun Found in: Medical Storage Used for: Tranquilizing the unwashed masses Strategy: Load the gun with a syringe filled with any chemical you would like, and shoot it at the patient Description Fire at people at a range with a syringe, useful if Chloral Hydrate or acid is in the needles.

Hypospray Found in: Chief Medical Officer's Office Used for: Applying medicine quickly Strategy: Fill with medicine, apply to patient for quick healing Description A fast syringe that can be loaded with up to 30 ml of any chemical, and is injected instantly unlike normal syringes. The patient feels a tiny prick!

Dropper Found in: Chemistry, Medical Storage, R&D Lab Used for: Applying medicine quickly, small amounts at a time Strategy: Fill with medicine, apply to patient Description Toggle in hand to change it to drop one unit at a time. A dropper is a container used for holding up to 5u of liquids. An empty dropper will store liquids from other liquid containers such as bottles and beakers. Once full, you can squirt the contents of the dropper at any target adjacent or below you, including other liquid containers, or on people's faces.

Beaker Found in: Medical Storage, Chemistry, Robotics, R&D Lab Used for: Transporting and mixing chemicals Strategy: Transport chemicals or mix them and watch magic happen Description This is a container specifically for holding liquids. They are most commonly found in Medbay and Chemistry Lab, either in boxes or standalone, coming in various sizes and capacities. Standard glass Beakers hold 50 units of liquid. Large Breakers hold 100 units of liquid, but they are less common, and thus, more valued. A Bottle is a smaller version of a Beaker and can be made by a Chemist from a ChemMaster 3000 and are mostly used to fill syringes. A bottle holds up to 30 units of liquid.

Pill Bottle Found in: Chemistry Used for: Transporting pills Strategy: Put pills inside, take pills out when needed Description It's an airtight container for storing medication.

DNA Injector Found in: Genetics Used for: Transfering genetics from subject to another Strategy: Make one in the DNA Scanner Access Console and use it on someone or yourself Description This injects the person with DNA. It stores either UI (Unique Identifiers), UE (Unique Enzymes) or SE (Structural Enzymes) and transfers them instantly to the person upon injection.

Surgical Tools

These items are used in surgery. Surgical tools can be found in Operating Theatre and Robotics.

Anesthetic Tank Found in: Operating Theatre, Robotics Used for: Putting the patient asleep Strategy: See below Description A tank filled with Nitrous Oxide for keeping the patient unconscious during surgery to prevent him/her from escaping feeling pain. How to set internals: To set internals and make your patient sleep you need to first remove any item from their back and mask slot. Once done you need to put a surgical breath mask on them, and then put the anesthetic tank onto their back. Once it is on their back you can turn on their internals by clicking "set internals" on the same menu you used to put the tank on their back. Once done, your patient should fall asleep. Remember to use a proper anesthetic mixture, as pure N2O will suffocate the patient.

Medical Gear
