Description: A medical tricorder in an ordinary tricorder with a special medical peripheral (MP) added. The MP contains specialized medical sensors as well as an enormous database of information on more than 200 humanoid and non-humanoid aliens, and hundreds of thousands of diseases and medical problems. The sensors on the MP can identify species and detect vital signs at a range of 25 meters. Within 5 meters, these sensors can analyze a being's internal structure, in a manner similar to a 20th-century CAT scan; broken bones, internal injuries or other problems can be detected. The MP also contains a detachable high-resolution probe. This remote probe only has a range of 1 meter, but it is capable of extremely detailed observations, including DNA typing, blood chemistry analysis and detection of all known drugs, poisons, bacteria, viruses and prions.
