Medical tricorder

A 24th century medical tricorder.

A medical tricorder is a specialist type of tricorder augmented for medical diagnosis purposes. (DS9 episode: "Trials and Tribble-ations")

History and specifics[]

A medical tricorder’s sensors are designed for dedicated biological monitoring and analysis making the medical tricorder a key tool for federation physicians in the diagnosis of their patients.

One of the more obvious physical differences in a medical tricorder compared to a standard tricorder is that they often feature a small detachable scanning device for more targeted scans whilst the tricorder continues its general analysis. (Fact Files Issue 7: "Medical Tricorder")

The medical tricorder was invented on reference stardate 1/4705 and first used by the crew of the USS Clara Barton to diagnose those infected with Rigellian plague on Rigel II. (ST reference: Spaceflight Chronology, FASA RPG module: The Federation)

In 2254 Spock borrowed Doctor Phillip Boyce's medical tricorder to confirm his diagnosis that the USS Enterprise's systems had been infected by an organic virus when the Ngultor attacked the ship. (EV comic: "Flesh of My Flesh")
