I’m a bit confused; I thought ACE inhibitors could also cause some form of tolerance, but maybe not tachyphylaxis specifically?

Wait, I'm a little confused. Is the question asking about the purpose of the "Equipment" category, or is it asking us to identify the specific equipment-related causes of defects? I want to make sure I understand the question before I select an answer.
