If your husband was an employee (received a W-2) of the business,  report this under Deductions and Credits, Employment Expenses/Job Expense. You'll see a screen Did you buy or own any items for use on your job? where you can begin entering the cost of the medical equipment. In a later screen, Job-Related Expenses , you can enter supplies. Keep going through all of the screens until you are finished with the section.

If he was self-employed (received a 1099-MISC from the business) report this in Income and Expenses,  Self-employment income and expenses.

On the screen Tell us about any expenses for this business, enter the medical equipment under Assets, and the supplies under Supplies.
