Just some field information for endoscopic and echographic reports. For endoscopic exams, we are used to writing : Device type, Manufacturer, Model, Serial Number (for endoscopes tracability) Example: Colonoscope Pentax HR200 s/n 234EB22 But, for practical reasons, don't forget that users don't always know the s/n and usually are using other way to locally select a material (for example "blue mark" or the first or last letters of the s/n).
For echographic exams, it is usually Device type, Manufacturer, Model and Service date (to indicate recentness). I am not aware of recording sub-devices (like echography probes) information... even if this is an important part and the one that "touch" the patient.
