Which of the following is not classified as durable medical equipment?

Pulse oximeters
Blood pressure monitors
Ostomy supplies
Crutches

The correct answer is: Ostomy supplies

Ostomy supplies are not classified as durable medical equipment (DME) because they are considered disposable medical supplies rather than equipment that can withstand repeated use. Durable medical equipment specifically refers to items that are designed for long-term use to assist patients in performing activities of daily living and managing their medical conditions. In contrast, items like pulse oximeters, blood pressure monitors, and crutches are classified as durable medical equipment because they are reusable, can be used multiple times over an extended period, and are essential for monitoring health conditions or assisting with mobility. This distinction is important for understanding how different medical supplies are categorized and covered by insurance.
