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.

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.
