Becky, I think that we need more info on the subject of how Hepatitis B is killed, etc. I wonder if one of the physicians here can help with resources. What we need is an epidemiologist, I guess, or an infection control doc. Liability is liability whether you work privately, or in a hospital. You may have resources right in the hospital there re: Hep B. I would ask them, and find out (share with us, then : ) ),...I am sure that the hospital would not want THAT liability on their shoulders. Not for the price of pump kits.
