Durable medical equipment donation to a business

[salchichon1524]

I donated a piece of durable medical equipment used for physical therapy, to a physical therapy business.  Its not a non-profit, but a business in the traditional sense.  Can I deduct the fair market value of that piece of equipment I donated?  Thank you...
