Equipment
All practitioners need to be aware of the strengths and limitations of the devices they are using and need to have adequate training in the use of all equipment. In addition, they must ensure that the devices are validated, checked, maintained and recalibrated regularly according to the manufacturer's instructions in order to be used effectively and safely (MHRA [117], [118]).
