20 years ago, I worked with biomedical electronics/electromechanics for hospitals... mostly volumetric IV pumps... and the pumps were sold to larger institutions at contract prices that were at or below the cost of production and shipping.

Of course, over the 3-4 year pre-obsolescence lifetime of such a
device, it
would (if treated properly and well maintained) consume 10 to 30
times its
value in pre-packaged, system-specific, single use, disposable IV
delivery
stuff.
