The screen size comes down to personal preference ,and we do not require additional storage memory beyond the base models. - [iPad Air's](https://www.apple.com/ipad-air/) -  Any screen size or storage capacity will work. - [iPad Pro's](https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-ipad/ipad-pro) - Any screen size or storage capacity will work. - [Apple Care](https://www.apple.com/support/products/) - We also strongly recommend you get Apple Care.  - [2nd Gen Apple Pencil](https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MX2D3AM/A/apple-pencil-pro?fnode=16f42f5cb6150b767c3270a408a931124a03411c997e5aec8b666cea3f9f0af92c0af3b4cb0c377f7aa7abedcd6ab094dbc7acadbc83fe35b7131463356b826883c5c8610353a747421a5d7c46de1ff5df139c49b9cb48da2521ea7661d7c5d5) - This is required if your Anesthesia forms require handwriting. If your form is 100% discrete you do not need to purchase am Apple Pencil. **iPad Case** Cases can have a big impact on workflow. There is a lot of personal preference here but we like shockproof style case with a pencil holder in it.  The large foam casing and handle are great for this use case. If you have questions about cases you think might work will please let us know. Below is an example of a few cases we like on Amazon.  [SUPFIVES iPad Pro 12.9 Case](https://www.amazon.com/SUPFIVES-iPad-12-9-2021-Generation/dp/B099613PNQ) [Foam Dynamo iPad Pro 12.9 Case](https://www.amazon.com/Cooper-Dynamo-Kidproof-Friendly-Protector/dp/B018QSEI46)   [![iPad Pro Case Example](https://help.graphiumhealth.com/hs-fs/hubfs/iPad%20Pro%20Case%20Example.png?width=298&name=iPad%20Pro%20Case%20Example.png)](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087QQXP1X/ref=syn_sd_onsite_desktop_160?psc=1&uh_it=22ada4ba24499bb6328f55f766b223ea_CT&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzTTNHUURLQk42UEtUJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNDMyNDI4MVBORFBMM0VLSjk4MSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMzk4MTg2MllBVzI0T1VMTDRPMCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNkX29uc2l0ZV9kZXNrdG9wJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==) **Other Options** - iPad Screen Protector - We recommend a glass screen protector as they can easily be wiped clean with sterilizing wipes. - [Example of a Glass Screen Protector](https://www.amazon.com/OMOTON-Screen-Protector-iPad-Pro/dp/B07KY5GXQT/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=2020+ipad+pro+11+screen+protector&qid=1596579537&s=electronics&sr=1-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzQVlaS09NVFVXS1RMJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwOTAxMjQ4Mk05OUgyWEdEUUdTMiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNTkzMjA4T1hMV1ZDS0xaNERSJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==) - [iPad Storage Cabinets](https://www.webstaurantstore.com/luxor-lltmw8-g-wall-mount-desktop-8-tablet-charging-station/445LLTMW8GY.html) - For a lock box, or simply a cabinet for central storage, we really like the simplicity of this Luxor cabinet. Can be wall mounted or sat on a desktop.  ![Luxor Cabinet](https://help.graphiumhealth.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Luxor%20Cabinet.webp?width=158&name=Luxor%20Cabinet.webp) - Printers - If printing is needed, then the printers on site must be [AirPrint](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201311) ready. If your printers do not have AirPrint and you need to purchase printers, the two that we like most are:  - [Brother Monochrome Laser Printer, HL-L6200DW](http://a.co/d/cltk5i3) - [HP Laserjet Pro M402dw](http://a.co/d/5isQgKd) **Mobile Device Management (AKA - MDM)** - We like [jamf Now](https://www.jamf.com/products/jamf-now/) Device Management - $3 per device per month over the first 3 devices.
