Medical Examiner Autopsy Suite Equipment List

Scaling from one station to a full forensic suite — the per-station equipment list, the shared assets that serve the whole office, and the capacity decisions that protect staff on the cases you can't predict.

Per-Station Equipment

Per Active Station USPE Spec
Autopsy table (adjustable) 1035-PED pedestal or 1035-8PAT w/ sink
Case trolley 1038-2ATRT hydraulic, removable top
Organ scale 1035-1300W CHATILLON®

Shared Suite Assets

Office-Wide USPE Spec
Bariatric capacity 1038-BAT trolley + USP-5500B cart — one set covers the suite
Concealed transport 1038-2ATH for public-corridor moves
Saw set 1035-09AS electric + manual backup
Scrub station 1035-06-3 triple at suite entry
Scaling rule of thumb: shared assets serve up to 3 concurrent stations; at 4+, duplicate the bariatric and saw sets so an occupied asset never stalls a case. Single-station offices: start with the Autopsy Room Equipment Checklist.
Compliance Notice: Equipment selection should be reviewed with facility safety officers, licensed contractors, ventilation engineers, and applicable authorities having jurisdiction. USPE equipment supports professional workflow and cleanability but does not independently guarantee OSHA, EPA, CAP, Joint Commission, state, local, or institutional compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many trolleys per station?

One dedicated trolley per active station keeps cases independent; the shared bariatric unit adds surge and capacity coverage on top.

Can USPE quote a full multi-station suite on one PO?

Yes — per-station and shared assets are itemized on one agency quote with W-9 and submittal specs, and the government procurement page covers the process.

What gets forgotten most in ME suite builds?

Bariatric provisioning and trap access at drains — both are cheap at design time and expensive to retrofit.

Building out a forensic suite?

Send station count and caseload — we return an itemized, agency-ready equipment package.
