I hate to say this, but one that is suitable for the medical profession
to use.

I would suppose this would include being highly reliable, minimal
interference in power (i.e. fully shielded to prevent spikes and nasty
output on playback), and with a guaranteed accuracy in playback and
recording.

The http://www.meyerinst.com/html/sony/svo-9500md.htm site says "The
SVO-9500MD S-VHS recorder is specifically designed for medical
applications. Its digital frame memory provide a noiseless, crystal
clear "freeze" and is fully compatible with other S-VHS (of VHS) tape
recordings. Its compact design and external control via RS-232C or
34-pin interface provide convenient integration with ultrasound,
endoscopy and pathology systems."
