Extract

An inventory of the availability of medical devices and laboratory tests at primary health care centers in Sweden is reported. The availability is shown to depend on a number of medical, economic, societal, and organizational factors describing primary health care. Technical performance of devices, risk management, and training of users need special attention with regard to these applications.
