However, if your audience includes new users, you're doing them a disservice by catering to the experienced users and omitting detail. In addition, leaving the detail out of the documentation imposes a training requirement on the experienced users. In most cases, it's the job of the documentation to relieve experienced users of that burden.

I'm not so sure that medical device users aren't trained on the 
equipment.  So who else would be using it that they need a User Guide?
